I think this asshole may be even worse. He wrote this about the June jobs report relased at the beginning of July:
Astonishingly, all of the net job growth in June came from full-time work. Indeed, the number of part-time jobs actually declined.
That's complete and total bullshit. The jobs survey does not measure full-time and part-time workers. He's either lying his ass off or stupid as fuck.
This trend has helped increase the average American’s weekly paycheck, which has risen faster than inflation since President Trump took office in January. That’s a stark contrast to Mr. Trump’s predecessor, who oversaw a 4 percent decline in the inflation-adjusted value of those weekly paychecks.
Average weekly earnings have increased from January thru June prelim from 1221.80 to 1241.46. That's an increase of 1.6%. Inflation has increased 1.5% over the same period. Average weekly earnings during Biden's last year in office rose from 1178.87 to 1221.80. That's an increase of 3.6% versus an inflation rate of 3.0% over the same period. More lies from Antoni. Wages performed significantly better relative to inflation during Biden's last year than they have under Trump.
And unlike the last administration, the labor market is no longer depending on a massively expanding federal workforce to pump up the monthly job numbers. Federal payrolls (excluding the postal service) have declined every month this year as Mr. Trump slashes the bureaucracy in Washington, D.C.
The decline in the federal workforce this year has completely offset hiring by state and local governments. The Bureau of Labor Statistics’ household survey shows the number of people employed by the government fell more than half a million in the first half of this year.
So now he is mixing the household data with the establishment data - sure sign of a lying asshole. From the CES Survey, Total Government Employment as of the June prelim data was 23,698,000. Total Government Employment in January was 23,592,000. So not only did government employment NOT fall by over half a million during the first half of this year, it actually INCREASED by over 100,000. That preliminary figure for total government employment in June was an all time record HIGH for government employment!!!!! Talk about dishonest?!?!?!
Clearly this guy has no problem lying about actual published data. I'd hate to imagine how ridiculous the numbers would look if he were given free reign by Trump to "make the numbers look like you think they should". The only comforting thought in that is that we will know the data is completely made up if/when he would try that.
