Who do you think is lying?
Real corporations reporting real layoffs and documented by a non-governmental private enterprise or some massaged, seasonally adjusted, convoluted calculation by government apparatchiks paid to support the establishment narrative of economic growth?
Admin…..keep posting this info; but the Gov’t lying is depressing so I will give you this:
The Newfoundland Department of Employment believed a boat owner wasn’t paying proper wages to his help.
An agent was sent to the fishing village to investigate the boat owner.
GOVT AGENT: “I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them”.
Boat Owner: “Well, there’s Clarence, my hired hand. He’s been with me for 3 years.
I pay him $200 a week plus free room and board.
Then there’s the mentally challenged guy.
He works about 18 hours every day and does about 90% of the work around here.
He makes about $10 per week, and pays his own room and board.
I buy him a bottle of Lamb’s rum and a dozen Labatt Lite every Saturday night so he can cope with life.
Also, he gets to sleep with my wife occasionally”.
GOVT AGENT: “That’s the guy I want to talk to – the mentally challenged one”.
Boat Owner: “That’ll be me. What’d you want to know?”
Factory Orders Plunge For 20th Month In A Row – Longest Streak In US History
by Tyler Durden
Aug 4, 2016 10:09 AM
Despite a small beat in MoM data (-1.5% vs -1.9% exp), US factory orders plunged 5.6% YoY – the worst drop since September 2015. This extends the period of annual contraction to 20 months – a record streak of declines in US history and one which has always, without exception, coincided with recession…
The big drop was driven by a plunge in non-defense aircraft and parts… (even with a surge in car orders)

It’s probably nothing though…

The name of the game is ” ELECT HILLARY” We all know the government lies to keep the sheeple in tow, but now it is critical to have the masses doped up. Or maybe more dumbed down. Old blowhard and the demonic crats need to have the economy looking as though things are wonderful and on target. So the numbers, the FED, and the goobermint combine with the media to put up the happy world and push down the Trumps and truth tellers of the world to insure their control is passed to the latest corrupt piece of crap that ever ran for office.

I think the government and media lying is actually contibuting to Trump.
4.8% unemployment? Surely, you jest.
1% inflation? Seems people are paying a lot more for food, rent, tuition, and health care.
Trump is just lying in wait for an opportunity to debate Wolf Blitzer in a presidential debate on CNN.
My theory is that getting unemployment is harder today than it was in 2008-9. Companies obviously benefit by lower costs of terminations (probably via somewhat more tenuous legal attachment to the employees), but the government also has the incentive of the narrative low claims rates provides. Eventually a rupture is going to occur that can’t be papered over.
So BLS says unemployment is 5% and inflation is 1%? I’m just gonna have to believe my lying eyes on this one. Oh yeah, and Trump wants to quit because he is insane, Melania is a common slut, Hillary told the truth, and the NWO RINOs love me.
Lay offs? I live in a St. Louis suburb that could be described as middle middle class. Safe, good schools(as public schools go). Conservative suburban Republican refuge from the Democrat city. In my area I watch the Jim Quinn economic indicator that keeps track of empty retail space. Today the unthinkable happened a Mac Donald’s closed after 30 years. The strip mall next door is 1/2 empty and has been for a while. This is not good and it is real.
