The jobs report scheduled for release tomorrow will either be:

1. Delayed
2. Cooked with false numbers.

For context ADP is reporting weak numbers.

1. The two choices are not mutally exclusive...nt

[tinrobot]

2. 3. Ignored because he did something to distract from it.

[Silent Type]

3. If they cook the books, plenty of experts will respond with truth.

4. I thought the new guy announced no more monthly reports, just quarterly? Nt

6. Math is not their strong suit

10. I told you previously that He hasn't been confirmed yet.

And while that is what the nominee said he wanted to do, Trump hasn't publicly agreed to it yet.

See Post 8.

The quarterly data for 1st quarter 2025 will be released September 9 as will the preliminary estimates of benchmark revisions for March 2025..

5. I've got $5 on...,

3’s and 6’s will become 8’s, 2’s - 5’s
A zero or two thrown in.

7. 'TRILLIONS OF JOBS!!!'

'LIKE NO ONE'S SEEN BEFORE'

[Wiz Imp]

8. Neither.

Trump's pick for new BLS Commissioner has not been confirmed yet. In the meantime, Bill Wiatrowski is the Acting Commissioner. He's a long time BLS employee who came up through the statistical programs and has served as Deputy Commissioner and Acting Commissioner on several different occasions previously. In addition, Julie Hatch Maxfield is still the Associate Commissioner for Employment and Unemployment Statistics which oversees the jobs report. She has spent her whole career at BLS working in the CES (jobs) program eventually moving up to upper management overseeing the program. I know Bill & Julie and can say unequivocally that they will NOT falsify numbers. They are good honest people. The numbers will come out on time and they will be legit. What happens after this month remains to be seen, but as long as Bill & Julie are running things, the data will be legit.
