With new and better data coming in, preliminary results were revised to a 4.3% unemployment rate in 2024, instead of 3.9%. In January, the new jobless rate hit 4.7%.​

Rick: How can you close me up? On what grounds?

Renault: I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here! [a croupier hands Renault a pile of money]

Croupier: Your winnings, sir.

Renault: Oh, thank you very much.


The CPI and GDP headline numbers were always being revised a month or two out, so obviously political. Can't wait for DOGE to figure out what the 'blanket valuers' were up to.
 
Give it up. We always knew government stats would later be revised. Where have you been?
 
This isn’t new. In fact I heard last year they had been overestimated significantly. But the MSM never publishes that. Not only that but most of the increase in jobs was due to government hiring. So we can expect that unemployment numbers will go up as we get off the government tit.
