He says this shit bc people don't know how to look at these data. Total private (aka non-gov't) employment was up 30k. Even if all lost retail & accom/food svc jobs were due to the WC, that's doesn't get you near 100k AND those trends were present in prev. months. See also: -103k rev for May & Jun

Um, there are no where near 1M farms in this country. Per QCEW Q3 2025 data, there were a total of 80,685 establishments in NAICS 111 (crop production) and NAICS 112 (animal production & aquaculture). Hell, there aren't even 1M individual workers—combined employment was 858,122 in 9/2025.

Screenshot of BLS QCEW data for Q3 2025 for NAICS 111 & 112.

Um, there are no where near a million farms in this country. As of Q3 2025, total private establishments in NAICS 111 (crop production) and 112 (animal production and aquaculture) was 80,685. Hell, there aren't even 1M WORKERS—total combined employment was 857,122 as of 9/2025.

Yes, but that would put IL in 7th place in the region.

What intern came up with this "analysis?" Of course Illinois, which has nearly a million more people than Ohio and over 2x as many as IN has more people employed. I mean, come on, percent of population employed is the only valid approach here, and that puts IL in 7th place.

How bout our evil regime just lets these other two evil regimes fight it out? There are no good guys here except the innocent civilians targeted by all 3 evil regimes.

And the fear—and thus the hate—is a direct result of this precious "way of life" they love so much, in which one never has to meet anyone not exactly like them, never has to recognize the humanity of people who aren't exactly like them, and never has to hear or do anything new.

Even if you ignore 2020, Biden still grew the sector at a faster rate than Trump did—3% vs. 4.6% (and this doesn't include 2024, as annual averages are not yet available).

Similarly, the average weekly wages of manufacturing workers grew more under Biden as well. And when the outlier year of 2020 is removed, they grew significantly more:

Re-posting with corrected charts! Manufacturing employment growth under Biden far outpaced growth under Trump I, even when 2020 is removed from the data (3% vs. 4.6%).

Second point is a huge lie. Made up bullshit. The only "recent" year in which gov't employment growth outpaced private was 2023 and that was by .6%. Between 2020-2023, private employment grew by 11.3% vs. 3.2% for gov't, and y/y average was 3.6% vs. 1.1%. Source: www.bls.gov/cew/download...

OK, I pulled the 2023 annual averages (2024 is not yet available). Government added jobs at a slightly higher clip than private in 2023. Overall, private employment grew by 11.3% vs. 3.2% over the period and y/y avg growth was 3.6% vs. 1.1%. Source: www.bls.gov/cew/download...

The second point is just a straight up lie and is easily disprovable from basic BLS data. I only have up through 2022 on hand, but:

Knowing about the rate hikes, I kept my thermostat at 63 this year vs. 67 last year, and this is what I got for it.
