Of course these numbers are doctored. I can't believe people actually consider these highly telegraphed releases legitimate, and now there's an election for heaven sakes, with the Ministry of Propaganda out in full force. Everything in the markets revolves around these made up numbers, people talk as if they are real. But for me, I'm just going to focus on finding the truth. I would characterize that (the truth) as 1. raging inflation: bad news for financial markets. 2. maladjusted economic conditions, almost completely dependant on debt creation primarily from asset bubbles. Asset bubbles will be more affected by the negative reaction to 1. and 1's feedback loop, bond crashes, housing price collapse and financial panics, than from job reports. And 3: There is a capacity destroying Train Wreck underway, see numerous posts. However, I do follow the labor market (as a secondary economic indicator of importance) through actual employment withholding taxes which cover 98% of all workers.
