21. Think we may have read two different articles.

Thu Dec 11, 2025, 01:49 AM

Thursday

The one I read was making a comparison to 2020 during the pandemic. Of course with Yahoo, who knows what you will find. To be realistic, I trust ADP more on this data.

The reason why the government figures exist is so we can have an accurate and agreed definition. But with the mob boss and his underlings, that can't be relied upon anymore. After he's out, think a lot of things will be restated. I just read these various articles as more of a pulse, one or two with other economic indicators saying the opposite, a fluke (but keep it in mind, never know if it might be the start of a new trend). But with all the closures, bankruptcies, layoffs, etc. it seemed to trend the right direction. If it was accurate, I'm not sure if it was, just making a note of it.

Right now, I've got bigger personal problems in life, I'm just wetting my finger and trying to find which way the wind is blowing so I can adjust.
