The employment news has everyone confused. The Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS) reports today 428,000 jobs were added [DATA HERE] which is good. We want to see people getting back to work. However, simultaneously the number of people employed dropped by 363,000 and the labor participation rate dropped from 62.4 last month to 62.2 this month [Table A, DATA]. The unemployment rate remains unchanged at 3.6 percent.
That wildly conflicting set of data has led to a seriously frantic discussion about what is going on. Here’s my take…. The majority of the irreconcilable data can be reconciled on this one basic Main Street employment scenario that is never tracked, people are job jumping.
Inflation is crushing main street workers at an astounding pace. Housing, energy, gas and food prices -all the unavoidable stuff- are hitting blue collar workers the hardest.
However, in reality the key businesses inside the sectors with the most rapid employment gains, Leisure and Hospitality, are the last to raise prices.
Generally those jobs fall under the category of service workers. The leisure and hospitality sector gained 78,000 jobs last month.
What we are seeing in the sporadic data is wage growth being driven in majority by increased entry wages on the hiring end of the employment relationship.
Because inflation is hitting so hard, so high and so quickly; and because businesses are slower to respond to the wage needs of current payroll staff; people are quitting one employer to take a linear job at another employer at a higher entry wage. This is the fastest way to get a raise. This is job jumping.
Job jumping is the fastest way to increase your wages in an employment market where labor demand exists and price inflation is high. As this process takes place at a national scale, we end up seeing data skews on job “creation.” Lots of jobs added (+428k) and yet on the alternate side of the ledger, net employment losses (-363k) because there is a lag in the labor data collection.
Obviously, there are other aspects, but ‘job jumping’ is a significant contributor to the skewed and seemingly contradictory data. We’ve all done it, especially in times when good dependable workers (like you) are a prized resource.
All of the shifting employment data (in almost every sector) is being hit by inflation. High costs of living and higher costs of operation, combine to create shakeups in the employment picture. Stable things become unstable as all elements impacted by inflation (workers and businesses) look out for their best interest.
Everyone is trying to survive, deal and cope with big price increases in food, fuel and shelter. Inflation can be extremely destabilizing and destructive.
On CNBC Rick Santelli drives home another facet that emphasizes the problem. These price increases are structural and most of them are unavoidable. The prices will never come down because the costs are fully embedded. WATCH:
.
Rick Santelli does the pantomime with panache’.
I have no hope for anything anymore.
Have hope in the Lord. He’s there for you. I promise.
Thats what keeps me going daily!
That’s the only thing keeping me going.
It’s more than you will ever need. You have already won the war.
I am hoping the guy upstairs would put an end to this misery, and starts anew. It will not get better
Seriously? That fast? 😒

Every day you and I are here we can make a difference. Every time we say NO to tyranny, we make a difference. Every time we do not comply with treason and traitors we make a difference.
The main thing is to enjoy a good life and have fun with making the best life possible.
This too shall pass, Lara. Nothing stays the same forever. A thing will go on, until it doesn’t. Promise.
I’m with ya. I reached the conclusion long ago that hope is wishful thinking, & faith is foolish expectations.
But the nice thing about being so cynical… I get to be pleasantly surprised when good things actually happen! 😉
But I’d bet with that attitude you are not MAKING any good things happen.
As Yogi said I feel much better since giving up hope.
Faith is belief that the Lord is there as His Will is carried out. Having expectations is bound to lead to disappointnent. I don’t remember who said this “Disappointment happens when reality does not meet our expectations”.
“Hope has two beautiful daughters. Their names are Anger and Courage. Anger at the way things are, and Courage to see that they do not remain as they are.”
Offering this…for what it is worth.
much wisdom. well stated.GOD BLESS YOU
Yes, Lara, exactly as Alleycats has already said. Remain fully confident in the good Lord. As for government and the rest of the cluster that is this world, remember they are only temporary. Cheers & God Bless you and yours!
Sundance’s take is a bullseye based on anecdotal evidence in my locale. Employers can’t get young workers to stay more than one or two paychecks before they split. The local grocery chain hires a batch of new kids every week. As soon as they are hired, many will ask for “time off” because there’s a party at the lake or some other event with their friends that they must attend. They also hate working weekends…..”that’s when I get to see my friends.” When the boss tells them they have to work, that they’ve been there only two weeks and they haven’t accumulated vacation days, they simply quit.
I have heard so many young people express these same expectations. To them, working every day is a huge inconvienence to their social life, habits and indulgences. They simply do not buy into the need to work a 40 hour week. It interferes with their “passions”.
We shall see how passionate they are when the folks tell them time to find your own way and you pay for it.
I am waiting for that day!
Not when you can qualify for EBT with no job seeking expectations.
Or Section 8 by just having one kid.
You believe that still happens, other than as a rare and random case?
I have friends who have small retail businesses and at times they have to close
the doors because the employees don’t make it in.
The best way to get a job is to say during the interview “I have to work weekends”. The boss has never heard this before and instantly goes into orgasm.
I did this as a kid while attending trade school and needed work. The guy interviewing me, you could actually see his draw drop. He took me to the store manager where he introduced me by name and “He has to work weekends”.
“When can you start?”
A local employer here now offers “Pay On Demand!”; you can ask for a payroll check on any week day that you have unpaid hours. It’s a total zoo.
Probably because they still live with the parents… The fault lies with the parents shielding the kids from responsibility…It won’t be paid back in most cases as the children are too selfish to take care of the parents when they are old. We owe it to our children to teach them about life and responsibility. Its not our role to absorb every blow life throws at them; just makes them weak and whiny. I can’t quit my job because I have responsibilities, why should they feel like they can? Sad to me
Then you need to think more deeply.
This is where the truth begins… letting go of the illusions we’ve embraced for ever. Look up^^
I’m 72 years old now. All my life I hoped to meet a Latina from Mexico. I met her 4 years ago. Got married at 70! We both hoped for the same! NEVER GIVE UP! PLUS! I relocated to the beach! ⛱️
I have hope, I don’t have trust in what is presented by the news
People find the Lord when they are on their knees.
“You must never confuse faith that you will prevail in the end—which you can never afford to lose—with the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be.” — Admiral James Stockdale.

And that’s why I agree with Lara:)
I am sorry you feel that way.
Keep praying.
Daily.

Bad News. Slave Labor Up 100%
For the retired folk, cost of living up double digits, savings to fund living costs down double digits. The vice grip economy.
Retired folk here…we’ve tried to protect our what I call “seed corn” but it’s a day to day struggle…and we’re slipping..
I have been doing side work and getting stiffed on pay. Now what? Take them to court for $400? 🤬
Small claims court. Document everything.
In Missouri it costs $50 to file suit in small claims court, no lawyers needed
YES, small claims court. No lawyer, per se and not nearly as expensive as other court options.
There is a dollar limit on what they deal with. Kind of like Judge Judy.
Agreed, a lot of retired people will be feeling the pinch and I feel bad for those who are already pinched or are on their way. But I also see families getting hit. Especially those that overpaid for homes recently and now see diminishing returns from their take home pay.
There is an implosion coming for a lot of people. This one is going to hurt and have staying power.
The younger folk never experienced inflation certainly not double digits. Many don’t know what’s hit them.
Nor have they experienced high interest rates. We’ve been manipulating that for over 30 years.
How many young families out there are in the “House Rich / Life Poor” phase of adulthood? Then children come along to complicate it all even further. Personally, I couldn’t wait for the end of diapers and formula (as expenses) but thankfully we were never facing what is staring some young families in the face.
https://www.wnd.com/2022/05/supply-chain-disaster-baby-formula-vanishes-store-shelves/
As you and OldSchool pointed out, what happens to these families when the housing market craps the bed and they find they’ve lost major equity and are stuck with a high payment, taxes and other cost of living increases sucking up their cash buffer?
The school of hard knocks is about to reopen in grand fashion.
While some of us gave that up and did without to save for a nicer future, which now seems may not come. Maybe we should have lived it up more while we had the chance.
Sometimes hindsight is 50/50 or six of one and a half dozen of the other.
In this context it would be interesting to look at rental housing stats. I suspect there has been an increase in people moving out/moving in. If I were young and facing this inflation the first thing I would do is seek cheaper housing, especilly since rents have risen steeply. Maybe I would even make a long distance move.
Making mirrors is a job I could see myself doing 🙂
You add a lot of value to this community.
There are many reasons to be discouraged about our country’s direction but you help to drive away despondency with your lively wit.
And I’ll break them. I’m good at it.
Maybe you can volunteer to work at the border
Long week.. I had to read it twice to get it.

Mirror puns are great for making people take a harder look at themselves! Kind of a moment of reflection. Cheers!
I looked into that but after reflection found it quite unattractive.
Will there be a country left in another 2 years? That is the real question.
There will be “a” country, Lord willing.
The democrats don’t hide from showing their hatred for “this” country, and they are trying to change it to something else as fast as they can.
The republicans are so scared the democrats will call them names that they do nothing….
This is it. You know, we hear intelligent conservatives rightly base their arguments on “Constitutional” governance, since so much of what the Dems do and advocate for is demonstrably anti-Constitutional. That is inarguable. However, that no longer carries the day because the left simply sees the Constitution itself as bad. The arguments need go deeper than just defending policy by how it upholds the Constitution and defend the Constitution itself by how it upholds the goal of human flourishing and how it’s principles satisfy what all people by nature *really* yearn for.
I no longer believe that republican’ts are scared, inept or ignorant.
I believe they’re complicit for their own gain.
Bingo. I honestly don’t see how this country survives another 2 years. As Sundance has mentioned, all gubbermint agencies have been corrupted under oblambo. Couple that with massive election fraud, does anything living in reality think this will be better in 2 years
Yes. Not recognizable and in ruins but sure, something will still be here. Just remember, these are the good old days of two years from now.
Was watching a certain company put in fiber optic in our neighborhood. This is a well known company and all their workers digging up our yards, every last one of them couldn’t speak a lick of English. These jobs should be American jobs.
Had guys from this same company digging up the front yard, right on top of a French drain I had installed. Went out to ask them to be careful, no luck no one understood English and they weren’t speaking Spanish.
Name of Co. ?
Rhymes with ATT
Guy I golf with retired from AT&T recently, full pension union type. They don’t want to pay that pension anymore apparently.
And most of that money they earn does not benefit our economy…they send it back home.
The cost of a Coyote is a LOT! And Coyotes are controlled by Cartels.
They put a down-payment to get them in U.S.
Then they send payments for balance once they get a job here.
The cartels have collateral–their families still in the country they came from.
I used to have that idea until when remodeling my home the subcontractors all had many hispanic workers.
I learned to appreciate that they showed up each day and did their tasks swiftly, neatly and well done.
Expect even more
Law says USCIS wants the rule so it can focus on granting more work permits to newcomers. The crush of new applications is bc Biden has expanded the number of illegal aliens with tentative legal status, so more people are eligible to apply.
White House blew off public input on policy extending work permits for illegal immigrants
The Biden administration cut corners in its rush to announce new rules extending work permits for foreigners in the U.S., including many illegal immigrants, and the divergence from standard procedures could imperil the legality of the policy.
Not only did Homeland Security dispense with the usual notice-and-comment period for new regulations, but the White House Office of Management and Budget, which gives final approval to rules, blew off a required meeting with stakeholders, according to would-be attendees.
“This entire regulatory effort is a complete disregard of the Administrative Procedure Act, and they’re doing this basically to cover their tracks and avoid accountability for a lot of the policies they’ve instituted,” said Robert Law, director of regulatory affairs at the Center for Immigration Studies, who requested the meeting to share feedback on the new policy.
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2022/may/5/white-house-blew-public-input-policy-extending-wor/
It is illegal to hire illegal aliens.
I just recently did this… I left my current company for 18 months and came back to it last August this time with a 8.00 per hour bump. The owner is now offering performance bonuses worth 10% of our monthly invoices if we hit our monthly goal.
Also, is that 428,000 jobs the corrected number or the final number??
The corrected number lags the announced number by a few weeks and always is a much lower number.
Recall the JoeBama adminstration policy that was put out a few months ago … the offices of the Executive branch are no longer obligated to say anything that qualifies nor corrects the number…they do not even have report numbers.
There are no numbers I would believe coming out of this clown, corrupted, occupant of the white house.
Admittedly, this comment is off topic but the short order waitress used to illustrate this post is wonderfully competent.
Competent workers are not as common as they once were and the really good ones merit recognition and praise.
I was talking about this with my dad the other night. That this COVID BS has destroyed a very unrecognized class of people I call the professional, low wage working class. We all have encountered them…. The guy or gal you knew at the local restaurant, convenience store, etc. that was always there. They made ends meet meagerly and they showed up everyday. My opinion is that these folks were destroyed either financially or emotionally when one day government dictated they were unassential.
I can only speak to the fact that I’m seeing exactly what you described. My wife and I like to eat out a fair bit and every “good” place has gotten mediocre and every “great” place barely classifies as “good” now.
In my own field (IT consulting) I left because every job was touched by the vaccines, either requiring them, requiring exemptions pushing them on people (hospitals). I don’t know what one 155k earner now sitting on his ass for months means, but my philosophy has been:
I spent the last decade saving and squirreling cash away to buy a house (I only recently started earning so much) and every house I try to buy blows me away on cash offers. So I’m spending and living roughly the same quality of life as before draining my savings more quickly than one might (I’m still very frugal as always) because…. What the hell is the value of money?
I was saving pennies a decade ago making $20/hr with 4 years of experience and and education. Now any target shelf stocker makes $15?
Again, what the hell is the value of money? I’d rather spend it now and enjoy it than to see inflation steal away all the best wisdom our parents gave.
If you have high credit card debt right now, about 20 plus years before retirement and a personal IRA or nest egg you can use to pay most or all of it now…. This would be the time to pull that trigger. The interest rates are about to get VIOLENT.
If you have credit card debt, you already pay violent interest rates.
Well… it’s about to get REALLY violent.
Those with skills a strong work ethic and the confidence in themselves can certainly succeed in this current job market. I have moved to at least three different jobs in the last year.
Job jumping makes sense. When I was working, I always said that if I lost my job, I would take any job to keep an income coming in. Then I would look for better paying jobs, and jump my way back up, and hopefully I would be back where I was salary wise within a year.
Side note: That pic at the top looks like a whole lotta cardiac arrest right there! Thats another reason why we dont eat out very much.
America eats to much! No dessert?
America doesn’t eat too much, you can eat too much spinach and the result is pooing your guts out not getting fat.
Americans are offered far too much crap food. McDonald’s is enemy, not large salads.
Because they would never inflate the job numbers and lie
Been there and done that. As a non-degreed blue/white (ivory?) collared computer field engineer in the Carter era, the only way to get a raise was to change employers. Sometimes it worked just to quit and get rehired at the same company. Starting salaries were above existing worker’s.
Familiar with that!
When I started one job…we were told–Do NOT say anything about how much you are being paid.
Found out that coming in at entry level-we were making 4k more than people who had been there for 8yrs!
People were actually quitting…then reapply..and come back. Or finding other jobs.
They finally got smart and evened things out after a couple of years. Employee retention became a priority.
Better to keep employees you have trained and have experience.
Every time I’ve been told to not discuss your pay by management, it’s because someone is getting screwed (not always me).
I believe it’s uncool to bring it up, but when the topic comes up around coworkers I’m comfortable with, I’ll mention mine.
If someone is offended by how much I make, well, maybe I do make too much and need to up my game. Or maybe I make too little and now I need to leave….either way, I’m better for it.
What happens when you add all the illegal aliens into the stats>
THREAD: This morning I spoke with migrants departing Gov. Abbott’s buses in DC. Here’s what they had to say:
Going to Maine where there is no housing available. Soon some states/Biden will force you to take illegals into your home. It is coming.

“In order to qualify for these programs, you need to have very little income,” she said. “For disability, you can’t work at all. So then you have to go through all of these steps to get help to pay for electricity, the cell phone, the internet, or qualify for food stamps. It’s a horrible way to help low-income people. It’s either all or nothing.”
-That lady meeds a mirror to realize SHE is the problem. My God if she focused 25% of her attention on making her life better instead of figuring out the “system” she would be 110% better. But instead she’s going to run as a politician and make Lewiston, ME a more socialist utopia! News Flash!! If you want to succeed? Get the hell out of Maine… The state economy sucked even during the best of times under PDJT.
The real bottom line is who knows what the presented “employment data” actually portray. All my client businesses, talking 16 years ago since retirement, received those survey form packets and most, if not all, threw them away. The packets would take an hour or two to complete and they weren’t going to waste the time. Reliability is a function of accuracy of the raw data and accurately compiling the results, given it being the BLS…forget it.
buy ammo… its really cheap right now…look for deals…price is about half what it was 2 years ago..but it wont last
Probably the added ones are in government bureaucracy – and the ones lost directly related to horrible regime tactics.
Job recently posted in my career (IT) for which i am fully qualified would be a $4,000 per month raise. Job is in a lower cost of living red state.
The poaching of employees has begun.
The bottom line is that the Bureau of Labor Statistics is run by the same people who run the CDC, NIH, FDA, FBI, DOJ and DHS not to mention the Ministry of Disinformation so whatever they report is going to sugarcoat Biden and the Democrats!
This is my daughter. She was working part time at a national retail chain for $12.50/hour. They were constantly losing employees because they refused to hire full-time so they didn’t have to pay benefits. Her schedule fluctuated between 20 and 25 hours a week and that salary was not enough to live on.
She started interviewing and got a full-time job at $15/hour with benefits. However, come time to do benefits and they say not enough people want them to make it worthwhile and what she thought would be a 30-35 minute commute was an hour each way. She had more interviews, got hired for a job at the same salary and was getting ready to start it in a few days but another company interviewed her and offered $16/hour to start and $17 after a month. In the meantime, she signed up for benefits under her husband’s job.
All of this took place over a 5 week period from the initial job to the current one, where she is really happy and working 15 minutes from her apartment. She’ll leverage what she is learning in this one to get a higher paying one in a year or two, if she wants to change.
The two of them made $25K combined in 2020 and are now around $75K plus overtime. They got most of this increase by job hopping and changing positions within his employer plus not being closed for nearly 3 months.
Good for them!!
And me because they don’t live with me anymore! 🤣🤣🤣
That’s the way to do it!
And if they work hard…earn a good reputation…
Then the head hunters from other businesses will come looking for them to try and recruit to work for them…more money..more benefits!
Happened to me 3 times in my career.
Good for them!!
I think young people’s lack of work ethic contributes hugely.
Many employers won’t hire low level entry workers full time so they don’t have to provide benefits. Even if you are making $15/ hour, it’s hard to support yourself with one job of 20-35 hours. Get a second job and hope that each employer respects your “availability”. A lot of them don’t. How motivated would you be?

The Biden wrecking operation is now hitting stride. Up next – tax hikes.
Read an article that contributes to the info pointed out by Sundance. It appears that not only are workers taking jobs one or two rungs up the ladder, but many of the jobs coming open are in upper or mid level management positions formerly held by people that are taking their skills, knowledge and experience with them in a massive brain drain that while providing opportunity is also creating confusion, delays and stagnation. Those companies that were forward looking demographically and were proactive in their training and mentorship will recover more quickly than those who weren’t. I observed this within my own career at UC California in the 1990’s and the effects of golden handshake retirements were devastating and was never offered again.
At best, the “jobs created” are just reopening jobs that were shuttered by CV1984 tyranny. The workers who filled those jobs are either gone to open states or hung in where they were so no net gains, except in FL and TN. Just how it looks from this limb down da bayou.
Just returned home from a long road trip; from central OK to Tallahassee, FL. Stayed at a La Quinta Hotel in Mobile and although it’s a relatively new hotel, it was built cheaply, prices high, no amenities, very sparse and the service was awful. The people manning the “customer service” desk were anything but customer service oriented.
In Tallahassee, stayed at a Fairfield Inn for 2 nights; prices were even higher than the La Quinta and the service people were awesome. Wish I could say the same for the hotel itself, but not so. Very few amenities, had to ask for another roll of toilet tissue and an extra towel, etc., was by request. Didn’t like the hotel at all.
Moved to the Hampton in a different part of town and again, the people were awesome, but the same 4 people (cook, desk and housekeeping) appeared to be almost interchangeable. Wonderful people, but again the rooms were not well appointed and notices on the door that the room is only cleaned on checkout or if you are there 4 days your room can be cleaned.
First day we went to an IHop where there were 2 servers at lunch time, and one person to greet, seat and help clean tables. They freely told us they couldn’t find help so they were limiting the number of people they would seat to those they could cook for and serve. We waited 30 minutes for a table in a half empty restaurant. The food was good, although the order wasn’t correct. We didn’t return it or mention it to the overworked staff, because we thought the kitchen staff must be understaffed as well. They were doing the best they could.
We ate at local restaurants the remainder of the time and didn’t experience the short staff situation anywhere else.
What was last month’s “adjustment?” People are job hopping or just dropping like flies?
Job jumping is exactly what my daughter did in January. She left one company (which also was implementing Covid/Vaccine requirements in line with the Biden Administration’s recommendations) and joined another company doing the exact same work only at a 30% wage increase and with the added benefits of no Covid/Vaccine requirements.
People are resourceful and will find ways to get around draconian measures. My friends in Siberia, all old enough to have lived many years in the former Soviet Union, tell me great stories on how they circumvented the regime’s demands. We’re learning those same lessons here, today.
I can safely say that after two years, I’m glad I took the blackpill.
It’s helped me know that countries and civilizations are beyond preservation.
The blackpill is not all depressing, it just shows truth through the insides of the earth and it rejuvenates your soul once you understand everything given.
As a restaurant owner in a small Texas town, I can tell you the horrors are real.
Not long ago I had great staff in the front and back of the house, great reviews, and plenty of business and harmony with the community.
The past 11 months or so have thrown us to the wolves.
We’re scratching by due to our customer base, and that has been touch and go, and sometimes gone fishing to get back
We have a decent staff, most front of the house, but my kitchen can be hell. Hard to find decent cooks, preps, and dishwashers that can do the job or stick around. It’s maddening!
The covid thing was bad enough but didn’t last long, and it seemed to bring a more entitled class looking for work with demands that just aren’t doable to successfully run the place..
Getting to wits end with it some days, but I love my peeps.
My son just started his third new job this year. All were promotions with pay raises. All in food production.
Blah Blah Blah !
How many steel mills , foundry’s , manufacturing and assembly plants , shipyards opened up with jobs paying skilled labor $60 to $70 dollars per hour in wages and benefits ?
Answer ZERO !
That was the industrial engine that created the tax base for the American society and standard of living ! This is the tax base that built roads , bridges , schools and paid salaries and benefits to public employees ! From teachers to police and fire protection and all manor of public services . That base is gone, the victim of rape and murder economically by political parasites and wealthy oligarchs that own the politicians and the process . Never fear the parasites in their infinite idiocy and lunacy replaced that tax base with money printing and debt in the trillions and Real leans on the future in the quadrillions .
Remember NOTHING in any government format regarding anything is believable unless you are a connected kool aid drinker benefiting from what really amounts to organized theft and plunder then you retire at 50 with life left to live and the means to do it thanks to a system that pays you and piles the debt on that $15 dollar per hour working stiff !
Take home pay won’t take you home anymore !
Welcome to the Great Reset brought to you by the WEF !
You will own nothing and be happy : OR ELSE !
The other factor is that the those who are willing to work are taking second jobs to make ends meet. I can say for a fact that this is happening.
People are still dropping from the work-force. They are mostly retiring boomers, but there are plenty of marginally employed people that are being forced into government dependency by extreme “Bidenflation”. Watch what happens with food-stamp enrollment over the next 3 months and we’ll get an idea of the split.
Folks who believe food service jobs are for unskilled morons, look hard at the picture of the waitress (or server-person if that floats your boat). Could today’s average college grad balance four plates on two hands and arms, remember to whom each is to be delivered, and do it all with a smile? HA.
As long as this radical d-rat biden regime poo poos oil and gas (fossil fuels) inflation will never reverse. This regime knows exactly what it is doing to the American people and they do not care one iota (an extremely small amount) They are destroying America and the American way and doing it on purpose, d-rats are evil and corrupt, liars, haters, cheaters, deniers, intimidators, manipulators and complete and total hypocrites.
