In total, -2,153,000 jobs have been revised out of initially reported data over the last 3 years.

1. A disturbing trend and 2022 was no victory either, it was just COVID ending and people went back to work

That's a 7 year negative trend

2. M$M Can Only Design Headlines

Never do any deep analysis anymore.

When I was much younger the weekend paper almost always ran an article with a much deeper analysis of a particular story. One of these articles would run 3-4 pages. Today’s papers “in depth” coverage may span 7-8 paragraphs.

With the advent of social media trends, most information is designed only to trigger anger not answer any deep questions.

3. Remember when it happened under Biden

The media hammered him for weeks over it.
