This Table of Data, which breaks down the numerical changes in the key figures.

I will refer to this set of data as Table JSF-URF-6

I will post some actual numbers and let the comparisons and discussion follow.

The BLS uses both Seasonally Adjusted figures and Unadjusted figures, and interchanges them without clearly identifying so. I will use only the Unadjusted numbers, to help maintain clarity and transparency.

Some numbers may have a 0 placed as first digit, to maintain column form in this format.


The 1st column is Labor Force minus both Unemployed and Involuntary Part-Time. This is also Employed minus Involuntary Part-Time. This is not a figure identified by BLS, so I will call it Actually Fully Employed. This is Employed Full-time plus Voluntary Part-Time.

Not listed, but Civilian noninstitutional Population minus Actually Fully Employed is also a figure avoided by BLS, and I will call it Not Fully Employed, which is Unemployed plus Involuntary Part-Time plus Marginally Attached plus Not In Labor Force. The 2nd column is Not Fully Employed Rate, which is divided by Civilian noninstitutional Population.

The 3rd column is the Civilian Population. 4th column is Labor Force, 5th column is Participation Rate.

After the separation bar, the 7th column is the Increase in Civilian Population from the previous entry. For the entries by year, this is the 12 month Increase. For the entries broken down by month, this is the 1 month Increase.
The 8th column is the Increase in Labor Force from the previous entry.
The 9th column is the Increase in Actually Fully Employed count, from the previous entry.

In the monthly breakdown for 2018, after the second separation bar, the 10th column is the Civilian Population Increase from the entry 12 months prior.
The 11th column is the Labor Force Increase from the entry 12 months prior.
The 12th column is the Actually Fully Employed Increase from the entry 12 months prior.
The 13th column is the amount that the 12th column exceeds the 10th column, or the amount of Unemployed that is being chipped away, despite manipulation of other figures.

Figures in thousands.

Employers continue to complain that they can't find enough workers, but apparently the real problem is that they like their current profit levels more than they like the idea of expanding production by paying higher wages to attract more job applicants.

The ECI (employment cost index) is a measure of the total cost of employment, and it's been going down since the start of the pandemic. In 2021 it dropped two full percentage points. This chart goes through the end of 2021. Data for the first quarter of 2022 will be available at the end of April.

Employers are paying workers less and less

Looks like steady rising under Trump. And then even Libtard Lockdowns couldn't bring it down.
But then Lord Darth Obiden took over, and it dropped like a rock.
Shockers.

If only Trump had been President, Congress would have raised the minimum wage, since the GOP is eager to do so. Alas, the GOP couldn't raise the wage because every Democrat in the Senate was opposed. Or maybe it was every GOP Senator opposed? It is so confusing! Or maybe it is not.

Why did the minimum wage law in congress not pass?

Tomorrow the Jobs Report comes out.

However, for more than a month I've heard Lord Darth Obiden claim that he has created 7 million jobs.

Despite the fact that his Labor Force continues to be less than the many months which Trump had greater than the current count.

And the Actually Fully Employed count (JSF Tables 3 and 6) continues to be several million less than Trump created.

Gotta love the lies and the spin.

I guess the Legacy media has forgotten that at one point we lost 22 Million jobs when they told tens of millions of people that what they did for a living was non-essential.

Get fucked, Libs.

I should have pointed out that even since his Regime started in Jan 2021, Labor Force has ssslllloooowwwwwwllllyyy increased to 5 million more as of last month.
Still no idea where 7 million comes from. But that's OK, he doesn't know either.

Unlike MSM or any source with paid sponsors, they don't flinch when it comes rating Biden/presidents up or down. The part where people stumble (or lie to suit their own desires) is in attributing the "why" to any of these moves.
