Birth Death Adds 87K To Today's NFP Miss, 491K Jobs In Past Year Due To "Statistics"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Take Green (i.e. double zero), and subtract from it the Birth Death adjustment and presto: you have reality, or what we predicted earlier today- a negative NFP print. Also, for the seasonal sticklers Birth Death has added 491k jobs in the past year: no seasonality here.

Perhaps now the kleptocrats will recognize that they are outnumbered.  Definitely a world war on many fronts coming.  Know your neighbor?  Got physical?  You better.

Why didn't they birth/death adjust 187k jobs, then it could have been an OK print?

Plausible deniability.

They have been jacking the number all year. Gotta stay within the range or even the mental PhD midgets might ask too many uncomfortable questions.

That, plus they have to take them out in Jan 12 so that number which already appears on track to suck might go over the -1 million...maybe they realized the web of lies is catching up with them.  Or maybe not.

Where's MY Job at the B(L)S?
I can be wrong every week, every month and have my work constantly revised by 60%, 80%...

And not get fired for churning out statistical crap again and again...

If the prerequisite for B(LS) or BEA employment is clueless fuck... don't I qualify???

The "big B" little l"BigS" bda number wreaks every month because of where they pull it (a dark place that is not the sand).  It is all BS statistical nonsense.  

So, to answer your question, "why?"  Because the real birth death adjustment was MUCH less.  They pulled every statistical rabbit up to the point of making a total mockery to just get to zero.

"Mr, Prez, it is the BLS, they say it is important"

 

Not now, I'm watching Entourage.  Man, that is funny stuff

 

"They say it is important"

What is it??? (exasperated)

 

"They say they are going to report a number that is a loss of 400 thousand jobs"

 

Come on.  Those morons can't do anything right.  It is our number.  Make it whatever you want!  Use that birth-job adjustment thingie...just get it to some number that ain't negative.  

 

"sir, its done."

 

Man, look at the guy Matt Dillon's brother.  the dog wouldn't play with him..he, he, he....hey that's an idea....maybe the BLS should hire more people....I wonder if I can get in 18 tomorrow...I knew those guys at Solyndra were the wrong horse...I wonder if Bono can come over tomorrow...

Bloomberg headline: "US workers unable to work due to bad weather in August." When will people recognize its because the economy is sick?

Thanks to corporate whore policies... enacted by bought and sold corporate whore politicians... enacted by corporate owned governance...

More small businesses die than are born everyday killing employment...

Birth/Death Should be Running Negatives
Birth/Death ratio should be -87k this month and -491k for the year... But we all know when propaganda is wrapped in numbers...

The Amerikan sheeple are defenseless...

Soooo, yes more deaths...

We should just elect the Birth Death Model president. It is the greatest job creator in U.S. history.

Like Owners' Equivalent Rent (OER)... How much would I pay to rent my own house if I didn't own it....

The BEA Requires a PhD in Economics from the "Right" School
Yeah, yeah that's it... Instead of reality, facts or data we will just pull this number out of our asses for the CPI...

I heard that this morning, as well.  Mike must be hoping and dreaming again.  I guess the term job creation is all realtive when you are scrapping the bottom of the barrel.  QE3 is on its way and will be used to push long term bonds down and force people to short term risks, which will spike commodities.

This article is unfair.  The small business jobs are real but the data is only available annually.  So they have a forecast model that attempts to predict the monthly amount.  At the end of the year, the sum of forecasts is adjusted to the real number.

Birth-death isn't fake, it's a forecast of what the real annual numbers will add up to monthly.  It may be manipulated, but it gets ccorrected with real data annually.

And it's not like the market pays attention to NFP anyway.  They always wait for the annual adjustment, so they can be sure they are trading on accurate data.

Or did I dream that????

Dude, they adjusted it DOWN nearly half a million jobs from last year.  Who ever the forecaster is should be fired cause they suck.

You know what we need? We need to spend another trillion dollars for shovel ready jobs that produce one middle class job per $700k spent.

That's winning.

The DA's do not get it, they create nothing, and destroy everything they touch.

You cannot make this stuff up.

How do they take into account the flow of illegal immigrants in the birth/death statistic? People like Obama's uncle, and aunt.

People like Obama, who were supposedly born in Hawaii but have Connecticut SSN numbers do not get included in the data.  His uncle had a valid SSN number too even though he was here illegally.  Shocker!

The process to create jobs involves the following steps :

Replace the top management of the too big to fail banks, put the existing ones in prison and charge them with fraud and misreprese­ntation. Reclaim the remunerati­on and bonuses that they have earned during their tenure at the bank. Break the too big to fail banks into smaller ones so that they are no longer a risk to the whole financial system. Implement the Glass Stegall Act.

Use the reclaimed billions of dollars from the arrested bankers and use them to improve the infrastruc­ture of the country. This would create jobs instantly and the improved infrastruc­ture would give the confidence to the small businessma­n to hire more people.

Tax the richest 5% of the population heavily as they no longer create jobs in the country but outsource the jobs to the low cost developing nations. Stop completely the funding of election candidates by corporates and rich individual­s so that their influence on politician­s to make rules beneficial to themselves is clipped.

Ban the use of derivative­s and speculatio­n in the stock, commoditie­s and currency markets. Stopping speculatio­n in commodity markets would reduce their prices substantia­lly which would be beneficial to the majority of the population­. This would lead to a better standard of living for the middle class families and they would go out and spend helping the revival of the economy.

But in the real world we can keep on dreaming.
