A ton of corporate jobs are being offshored to places like Thailand and India. All these corporate bastards want to do it make as much money off the backs of others and don't care who it fucks over.
Uh huh, hey, why don't these job numbers reports ever talk about whether these new jobs are keeping up with the cost of living? Seems like it'd be important to discern how many jobs are paying minimum wage and how many are paying enough to actually afford to survive longer than the next 24 fucking hours. Oh, and how many of these new jobs are union jobs that protect worker's rights? Pretty fucking important bits of information to just never ever report...
That's a very good point.
An "Income From Work" report would show far better how most people are being impacted.
A quick proxy could be overall wage increases for the year. I'm sure average wages for new jobs may be findable somewhere, but BLS recently released this:
Compensation costs for civilian workers increased 3.4 percent, not seasonally adjusted, for the 12- month period ending in December 2025. Wages and salaries increased 3.3 percent and benefit costs increased 3.4 percent over the year.

From BLS report USDL-26-0184 on Feb 10, 2026.
Thanks. And fair enough, I'm just feeling sore about the state of things lately I guess. Wages and workers rights could always be way better in the US imo, so whenever these jobs reports come out, I get cynical. Sometimes unnecessarily so.
Cynicism is warranted. If you also look at inflation/CPI, it held pretty firmly at 2.7% for the year. That puts a 3.3-3.4% increase in salaries and benefits in a bit more perspective. I'm not even sure that 2.7% figure is very realistic. The way they measure CPI is pretty outdated. There are a lot of services we consider necessary now that aren't covered, and those things have been going up a lot in recent years. Just as an example, my cell carrier bill went up 14% last year. I'm looking at other options, but it's just one example of a service provider that either increased prices or watered down their product to try and squeeze more profit out of us in recent years.
but DIDN'T THE DOW BREAK 50,000 DOLLARS
Yeah, in my bank account.
Those tariffs are really juicing the US economy straight the moon.
Since most companies give crap raises I regularly browse available jobs and can say that both quantity and quality of available jobs is way down compared to 2024.

Hodl for the sweet sweet trickle down boys and girls. Just a bit longer…
The trickle down IS happening right now. Do you not like your golden shower?
It took me 8 months of looking to finally get interviewed. Luckily, they hired me, otherwise I would probably still be applying.
I was told that Biden had the worstest economy in history and that Donvict was here to fix everything!
When, uhhh, when WAS the US economy good for most? Has to be pre-pandemic at minimum.
I hate to tell you, hell, I hate that I even have to say it at all, but you were lied to.
Even my $5k DOGE check? It’s not in the mail?
As someone looking for a different job, it shows.
I wish you the best of luck finding something that works well for you. You got this.
Didn't the orange moron fire the guy who gave mediocre job numbers last time.
Let's revise those numbers for reality.
-1,810,000 jobs
Yes. She would have not been directly involved in the production, amd she was fairly new to the position anyway in the grand scope of the methodology and procedures behind this type of report (she was about a year and a half in), and statistical agencies and the civil servants who work there take methodology VERY seriously (I know, I've worked with these kinds of agencies) and they'd have a LOT of reviews and checks in place for something this high profile to ensure it's as accurate as it can be.
If anything it was more a slap in the face of the non-political government workers who geek out on statistical methodology and just want to produce the most accurate stats they can.
Have no knowledge of this website, but here's an article about her firing:

We're at such a weird time, low job growth, but productivity is still increasing due to technological automation. We need a new New Deal.
Its fine guys.
All the young smart people have left.
Also we have these special "wellness camps" now for poor people, mental health addicts, and young women at risk of pregnancy.
By reducing the number of people competing for jobs, there will be more jobs to go round.
But the Dow is over 50,000 doll.. I don't know why you're laughing at me...
