Mass Layoffs

[Vermonter]

Dear Valued Appraisal Partner,

Effective May 1, 2024, the residential valuation services fees for billable transactions on Mercury Network will be updated and billed as follows:

• Full Appraisals: $17.00*
• Limited Valuations: $7.25

Wasn't it already $16.50?

Been tacking $17 on to the fee for a while now so guess I'm out that extra $.50

Tack on $34. You're in business to make money, not float a free loan to your client. Especially a client that may pay you a month or more into the future (if ever is they go BK).

More jobs and more unemployment? That math does not add up. The BLS is lying to us.

So, they are liars. Were they lying during the Trump administration, or just when it favors your agenda?

well, here is 1 reason for unlimited immigration. tyson is disgusting. i will boycott them.

Campaigners are urging consumers to stop buying Tyson products amid its wave of closures of poultry- and meat-processing plants across Iowa, Virginia, Arkansas, Indiana, and Missouri.

They point to Tyson's efforts to hire thousands of asylum seekers in New York, offering $16.50-an-hour wages and free immigration lawyers, accusing the firm of ditching US-born workers for cheaper migrant labor.

Tyson Foods BOYCOTTED as it sacks 1,300 staff at Iowa pork plant and offers 'job-and-lawyer' packages in bid to hire 42,000 asylum seekers in New York​

This a good thing about Tiktok these posts are going viral with younger people who would never hear about this if they only listen to Ferns news sources and they are just as pizzed bc they are dying in Biden's world too

How do you explain that the BLS typically over-reports the job numbers? And they consistently over-report with the understanding that the early numbers are based upon surveys not upon the real numbers. Corrections that are consistently in one direction, therefore, are systematic errors that the agency is routinely doing without any apparent effort to reduce that error source. That's why when the December numbers were revised UP and not DOWN, it was a surprise. Frankly, the BLS isn't especially good at its job.

I read recently that something like 32 of the last 36 job report numbers were revised down sometimes substantially. No one cares at that point the damage is done

From a time it was supposed to be a big fine for hiring an illegal (I know a fellow who went to jail for hiring illegals in a chicken plant and his bosses denied pressuring him to do so.) Now you are paid to fire legal residents and replace with illegals. Go figure.

Why are there so many recent layoffs form big business like tech, news, retail, finance etc. We've been told the economy is doing fine yet we've suffered a good while already. Supposedly rate cuts are coming this year which is good for us but the layoffs appear to be kicking into high gear just now

It appears it has to do with accounting cycles - listen:

I don't need to explain anything, OSU does.

Career bureaucrats may over/under estimate figures in their analysis but they do so in a consistent manner. They act per their process and procedures manual. It doesn't change because of who is president, senator, or governor. That you don't agree with their method doesn't matter to anyone but you. What matters is the delta between periods analyzed.
