Q&A

Why does the government revise down previous jobs numbers?

The pattern of revising down previous numbers raises suspicion and questions about the credibility of the initial reports.

Why do part-time jobs outnumber full-time jobs in recent reports?

Many individuals who lost full-time jobs have resorted to multiple part-time jobs to make ends meet.

How do massive layoffs contribute to improved company earnings?

Layoffs reduce payroll expenses and, in turn, improve profit margins for companies.

Why do average hourly earnings increase while take-home pay decreases?

The decrease in average workweek hours offsets the higher hourly wage, resulting in lower overall pay.

Is the decline in full-time jobs a cause for concern?

Yes, a shift towards part-time employment indicates a lack of stability and opportunities in the labor market.
