They're lying and it'll be dramatically revised lower in 2 months when people aren't talking about it

Yeah 0 chance in hell this is legit. Leisure and hospitality saw a major up tick in the middle of a drought of tourism? They can't even lie properly. Construction? Yeah tons of that going on with tarrifs on steel and other things

[Madeline]

so many abandoned job sites post immigration meme i have a hard time imagining that's correct

[Meresgi]

It's convenient how all of the "growing" sectors are all the ones Trump ran on supporting and has since completely fucked over.

Health services and Private education growing yet gutting Medicare and everything to do with knowledge
Construction going up yet ICE and tariffs directly impacting that
Hospitality yet Vegas is a ghost town, I guess they're all vacationing in....FL?
Transportation while a war jacks diesel sky high

A good chunk of the health service numbers are the striking California - Kaiser Permanente healthcare workers returning to work after the nearly month long strike.

Ugh. I'm still hoping 'Neko can find a new job soonish. (He's a computer tech-head).

This administration can't end soon enough, and I'm betting we'll have a second Great Recession or worse, Great Depression.

Inflation surged in March after an oil shock triggered by the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran, government data showed on Friday. The inflation report matched economists' expectations.

Prices rose 3.3% in March compared to a year earlier, marking a steep rise from a year-over-year inflation rate of 2.4% in the prior month. Annual inflation jumped to its highest level in two years, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data showed.

The jump in prices owed in large part to a sharp rise in costs for products impacted by the oil shortage. Gasoline prices were 25% higher in March than February, the BLS report said. Overall, energy prices jumped almost 12% from a month earlier.

Airline fares increased 3.4% in March from February, the data showed.

The rapid acceleration of price increases could complicate interest rate policy at the Federal Reserve, which may be reluctant to lower borrowing costs as inflation climbs.

Year over year market data has fully priced in the Iran War and we should all get our party hats out because ???finance bro bullshit???

[Dimmauk]

So every economic number has gone the opposite direction that Trump promised? I'm shocked

Rich getting richer selling poverty as a good thing no way

In case anyone wants to know what the new infinite money glitch is, just pivot your shoe/iced tea company to a GPUaaS/blockchain company and watch your stock price instantly triple.

From sustainable shoes and caring about the environment to unfettered environmental destruction in the name of AI.

The republican-led MN Senate has successfully overturned a 20 year ban on mining northern Minnesota. This will allow the construction of a Peruvian-owned mining project that will bring ~750 remote jobs to Peru.

[Outlaw]

It doesn't shock me. The Heritage Foundation wants to eliminate the Department of the Interior entirely and log and mine our most beautiful places and destroy them all.

Watching right wing "homesteaders" twist themselves into knots trying to explain how this specifically is just fine when they have literally waged open warfare against the US federal government for trying to do far less on "their" land will be very amusing to watch

I wonder what Ammon Bundy will have to say about it. Probably a full throated endorsement. Maybe a racial slur at the end too. Just for added measure.
