Don't buy the lies! The feds are LYING about the job market and US economy
The Biden administration isn’t shy when it comes to boasting about how many jobs it’s created — but maybe it should be.
The administration has quietly — and conveniently — deleted 439,000 jobs from its 2023 job reports. This means that almost a quarter of all jobs added in 2023 didn’t even exist in the first place.
Former investment banker Carol Roth cites a saying attributed to Mark Twain in response: “There are three types of lies: lies, damn lies, and statistics.”
“The data is bastardized, and I would argue not even relevant to how our country’s economy is run,” Roth tells Glenn Beck, noting that this is all either odd, lazy, or nefarious.
“Those are your three choices,” she adds.
Meanwhile, there’s a record-high number of 8.7 million people holding down multiple jobs.
“Those are things that would make you scratch your head and say, ‘That’s moving in the wrong direction,’” Roth says.
While government jobs make up much of the recent hiring, Roth says it's “not sustainable.”
“Those don’t have the same level of productivity because they are paid for by our tax dollars and or the printing of money,” Roth explains.
According to Glenn, 216,000 jobs were added in December, and 52,000 of those were government jobs.
“Which brought us to an all-time high of 23 million employees for the federal government,” Glenn says, shocked. “It’s an astounding, astounding number.”
