Only 38k new jobs added in May.
Would have only been 78k if Verizon workers weren't on strike.
What is going on?

We're still waiting for 2008 Recession: Part Deux to hit.
None of the fundamental problems that caused the 08 recession were really fixed, they were (literally) papered over.
Most of the jobs lost were good paying and full time. Most jobs gained since are part time wage slave bullshit.
In propping up the flawed system, they've prolonged the malaise and may even make it a depression instead of the recession it could have been.

It's a good sign. It means more neet millionaires are being made.

They were expecting 100k.
Where did the 22 thousand go?

They hired nearly 20,000 temporary workers.
Yet temp workers fell in this report.
This is a shitty excuse.

Can someone explain to me why the Verizon workers would have affected this figure?
Wouldn't these workers only count toward the total unemployment, and not newly created jobs?

The government heavily fudges its numbers for unemployment and "jobs creation"
