Yup. Anyone believing anything from any Western government today is a fool.

The "jobs" and "unemployment" reports, regardless of administration, are pretty much always horseshit. The "jobs" report can always be juiced at any time by government disbursing billions into its own agencies, creating counterproductive make-work positions there, or by awarding contracts to private industry, whether useful or not. By excluding unemployed but theoretically employable people who aren't seeking jobs, the "unemployment" report is always overly optimistic, since it reports only those who are seeking work as "unemployed". Both are little more than propaganda.
