turtlespeed 220 #1 Posted June 5, 2020 (edited) Let's at least have ONE thread with just good news in it. I'll start. Unemployment went down to 13.3% in May. https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/05/economy/may-jobs-report-2020-coronavirus/index.html Edited June 5, 2020 by turtlespeed stoopid apostrophe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the past your side of the aisle seemed to indicate that number was too easy to manipulate and therefor should not be trusted.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,444 #5 June 5, 2020 It’s good news. Personally, I feel conflicted. I seriously don’t want Trump re elected, but I don’t want the unemployed hurt any more than they already are. Wendy P. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IMO the shoe has still not dropped on the economy and won't until the stimulus money runs out. C-19 has a ways to run yet. Yes back to work is good news. Its very discouraging for the unemployed and for those living paycheck to paycheck its a disaster. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

normiss 798 #18 June 6, 2020 I'm guessing this is about the slight dip in unemployment numbers, apparent dip I should say. Are these numbers as reliable as the covid numbers provided by the government? How much impact did the death of 120,000 Americans impact those numbers? More so given the inaccurate numbers reported??? Just last month, The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported the actual numbers were much worse than being reported. They weren't the only ones reporting numbers issues, miscalculations, and the expectation of worse numbers in the next few months. Covid isn't done yet either. I have less than zero trust or confidence in any data put out by the current administration. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, you have states opening up, and telling people (for example, hair salon workers) that they can no longer get unemployment compensation. So, ready or not, they go back to work.

They had Michigan numbers in the 5000+ range until it kicked over then it disappeared altogether, then it went down to 25000+. It's going up, surprising no one with two pieces of grey matter to rub together. As I've said before, wait for it. It's going to get so much worse.
