    Remember when the only thing that mattered were the adjustments from previous months?

    I linked ZeroHedge because they go into details of the Report, including revisions like you mentioned, and the differences between addition/loss of full-time jobs versus part-time jobs, who is taking 2 or 3 part-time jobs to replace the loss of a prior full-time job, and a lot more.

    Zerohedge is also a Russian disinformation source run by a guy banned from trading in the financial markets due to financial crimes.

    I'm guessing this is Trump's Dow and not Biden's since it's positive?

    Number of employed is lower. They revised 58K down in Feb/March and April beat by 39K. So April employed is -19K from expectations.

    February's job growth was revised down by 15,000, from +117,000 to +102,000, and March's growth was revised down by 43,000, from +228,000 to +185,000.

    Just pointing out facts. I actually read the report each month. I don't need a media source for it.

    Also, I am laughing at some of the people who spent years deflecting every positive report on the labor market.

    If Biden were still in charge the Dow would not be up. Much, NOT ALL, of it is consumer confidence.

    Consumer confidence is way down compared to under Biden.

    Dow is down at least 10% since Trump has been in office in case you didn't notice

    No, look at it from the day after the election of Trump. Not from January 20th. Consumer confidence...

    Consumer confidence falling to levels not seen since the last time Trump was in office:

    US Consumer Confidence

    Ironically, this will probably embolden them to stay the course on their stupid tariff policies and increase the likelihood of pain down the road

    That's fine, considering the tariffs and how uncertain that all is. It's not the best situation, but given the fact that deals are being made and that brings uncertainty, its fine. I will rebound... better than Biden's Federal Reserve ever fed it... free money.

    I made a killing in the last couple of weeks buying stuff at the low rate before it started bouncing back
