Reposted by @eridyn.bsky.socialErika McEntarfer @erikamcentarfer.bsky.social · 07/08/2026This is the way. You can see here why the seasonally adjusted series has started to fall off - employment this year peaked in the fall instead of the spring, the trough is lower. It does look like the sector may have peaked but you can‘t rule out a change in the seasonal pattern either 38019
eridyn.bsky.social @eridyn.bsky.social · 07/08/2026So, I seem to have the most blaisé take of anyone on today's jobs report. Odd for me to be the "optimist" in any group. Mini thread follows, but main point: - Unemployment rate down, labor force status flows suggest due to less job loss - Lack of immigration reduces "speed limit" substantially 121

In fact, that framing obscures what’s really behind it (emotion + identity) and leads people down the false road that “good policy” will solve the problems. It’s the rationalization that refuses to die. 1313
eridyn.bsky.social @eridyn.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Okay. I got this very wrong. The ongoing counting this morning did not further close the margin, and now Stevens has conceded and both Stevens and the DSCC have released statements congratulating AES. So, we're avoiding the prolonged infighting after all. 120
