#bls — Public Fediverse posts

In the past 12 months:
Working age #population up 1.758 million
#employment down 1.288 million

Any time this #BLS employment-to-population chart slopes downward, things are getting worse. The current -73% drop was last seen during COVID19, 2008, and basically every official #recession before that.

Middle Class vs. Upper Class

Retirement spending typically looks different depending on how much income you have. While some are focused on being…

Auch heute wieder mit der #BLS unterwegs, allerdings nicht ganz so weit. Via Neuchâtel nach Yverdon-les-Bains und dann Grandson. Schloss, See und so.

Heute mit der #BLS über den Goppenstein nach Domodossola. Ein bisschen Italianità geniessen. Jetzt, wo der Stress nachgelassen hat.

The infinite wisdom of numbers has revealed: $1 in 2000 now buys a fraction of nothing! 💸 Watch in real-time as your dollar’s dignity dribbles downwards, second by second. Thank you, #BLS, for this riveting display of economic futility! 📉✨

Un article très intéressant sur les premières locomotives BoBo modernes, il mentionne aussi les lignes transalpines qui sont leur raison d'être, et notamment le tunnel de base de la faucille, qui fut abandonné par la compagnie PLM.

This #Atlantic article (gift link below) is long but worth at least skimming. It's about how #AI will probably affect #jobs, at least possibly very quickly. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (#BLS) figures prominently. So does Steve #Bannon

#Rent prices & the cost of owning a #home, which make up a third of the #inflation index, both rose 0.2% in December, while #rents increased 2.8% from a year earlier. That is much lower than during the pandemic: Rents rose by more than 8% in 2022.

Still, the rental figures were distorted by Oct’s 6-week government #shutdown, which interrupted the #BLS gathering of the data. The govt plugged in “estimated” figures for Oct & November which economists say have artificially lowered #housing costs.

When #DonnieDumbass fired the head of the #BLS b/c he didn't like the numbers she reported ("They MUST be wrong!"), the #JobsReport was put on hold for several months and we had to rely on PRIVATE jobs reports to know what was going on.

The most trusted was "Challenger, Gray & Christmas".

While the "official" report claims "surprising job growth" in January, CGC is reporting "Most job cuts since The Great Recession" of 2009, and "The Worst January" hiring EVER.

EVER.

The #DonTheCon Administration released a "better than expected" jobs report.

And I dare question if his new head of the #BLS is cooking the books???

Where on Earth could I *possibly* get an idea like that??? #DictatorDon #CantBelieveAWord #Unemployment #JobsReport

"...delayed January jobs report" announces "better than expected employment numbers."

What are the chances #DonTheCon's latest #BLS Director is cooking the books? 🤔

The #BLS’ measurements of wage growth, unemployment & job creation guide investors allocating capital & monetary policymakers deciding whether the #economy needs a boost.

Without the #data, the outlook is foggy as hazards abound, so businesses could be even less willing to make decisions about the future.

#BureauofLaborStatistics revised nonfarm #payrolls downward by 911,000 jobs from March 2024-March 2025 in largest revision since records began in 2002. Revision suggests average monthly job growth was 76,000 lower than initially reported indicating a weaker #labor market than previously thought. WH criticized #BLS for its data collection methods called for new leadership to restore trust in BLS, while #economists say the revision could prompt the #FederalReserve to consider #interestrate cuts.

The #USGov Bureau of #Labor Statistics (#BLS) just issued a historic revision, cutting close to a million jobs from US #payrolls denoted this year through only March 2025 — the steepest downgrade in more than two decades.

How will #DJT #BS his way through that...fire the statisticians again?

Shocking jobs data stuns FOX Business, revealing cracks in optimistic economic narratives. John Amato reports just 22K jobs added in August vs. 75K expected, with unemployment rising to 4.3%. Host Cheryl Casone and Lauren Simonetti note private and government job losses deepen the grim picture. Even pro-Trump analyst Charles Payne admits the weakness.

Data war risks creating false calm
"BLS #payrolls #data .. has been under scrutiny for years, not because of fears of bias, but because of low #survey #response rates & delays, which hv often resulted in large changes to past data. Te most recent report contained one of te biggest downward #revisions in decades.. What's more, similar questns abt #datacollection hv been lobbed at te #BLS regard'g its compilation of #monthly #consumer & #producer #price reports" #integrity

With the July report, the #BLS ended the calculation & publication of approximately 350 indexes, including data from the #PPI Final Demand-Intermediate Demand, special index, industry & commodity classifications.

The agency has suffered years of #underfunding under both #Republican & #Democratic admins, a situation worsened by an unprecedented campaign by #Trump to remake the #FederalGovernment through deep spending cuts & #MassLayoffs of public workers.

#Iselle 🇮🇹 near the south portal of the #Simplon tunnel earlier today. The first station in #Italy when travelling from the north, and beautifully decorated. 🌼🌷
The trains are #Swiss🇨🇭: #BLS is operating regional passenger services and a car-carrying tunnel shuttle from #Brig.

#LaChauxDeFonds has too much rolling stock diversity for me to handle.

Taking the #BLS🇨🇭 regional train at #Iselle di Trasquera 🇮🇹, at the south portal of the #Simplon tunnel. The lovely station comes with some old railway charm. The “losange” type “logo inclinato” of the Italian Railways FS, introduced in the early 1980s, is still very much present.

#Interlaken🇨🇭 Ost station in February 2006. On the left: a #BLS Re4/4 electric with a push-pull service composed of BLS cars for #Zweisimmen. These locos can still be seen on #Lötschberg and #Simplon car carrying trains. On the right: a BLS RBDe4/4 compo with a local for #Spiez.
