‘Does Not Compute’: BLS’s 353K Jan. Job Growth Numbers ‘Do Not Add Up,’ Investment Advisor Says – By Craig Bannister (CNS News) / Feb 2, 2024
The shockingly high 353,000 January job growth reported by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) on Friday just doesn’t make sense, investment advisor and Tax Attorney Rebecca Walser says, noting that private sector reports strongly contradict the BLS’s claim.
“It doesn’t jibe, because The Challenger Report just said that U.S. employers announced 82,000 job cuts in the month of January,” Walser explained in a Fox News Channel interview with Host Maria Bartiromo.
“So where are all these jobs coming from?” she asked dubiously:
“Obviously we need to look at the details, but it does not compute. They do not add up.”
