The Fed was LIED to *AGAIN* -- SHOCKING Reveal.
FULL TRANSCRIPT
while the government is misleading us
again and not only are they misleading
us with the labor report but
unfortunately they're potentially
misleading the Federal Reserve as well
now that's not to suggest that the
Federal Reserve is stupid it's just to
suggest that the Federal Reserve bases a
lot of their actions on what the Labor
Statistics are telling us and when the
Labor Statistics come in hot guess what
the Federal Reserves does they get a
little more aggressive last report the
Labor Statistics came a little hot and
what'd we get we got Jerome Powell who
came out just a couple weeks later and
acted a little more hawkish and
suggested the labor market was so tight
and wages were so increasing that the
three parts of inflation that we have to
deal with only two of them were actually
coming down goods inflation and
household inflation like rent inflation
is finally starting to rotate down but
wages are surprisingly sticky and
they're still going up and that could
lead to a wage price spiral which would
crash economies and I hate to say it but
the Bureau of Labor Statistics once
again came out and actually had to
revise some of the garbage they gave us
last month and even at that they're
still misleading us with some of the
other numbers in this video I'm going to
break that down for you first this one a
little bit more benign but shows you
graphically some of the issues so Jerome
Powell who was a little frustrated last
month was referring to the light blue
line that average hourly earnings based
on a 12-month rate of change had
actually risen in the last Labor report
and that made Jerome Powell nervous but
the Bureau of Labor Statistics screwed
up and they ended up revising the
average hourly earnings change from last
month to instead of rising to actually
lower and then flat at a lower level and
then down in other words great versus
bad the that we could see depicted or
actually written out right here we had
average hourly earnings for the last 12
months that came in at 4.6 percent the
estimate was five percent and the last
hourly earning read was also revised
down that revision down was critical we
saw a revision down to 4.8 percent from
5.1 for those year-over-year figures
that's a big shift and that actually
suggests wait a minute maybe there's
actually more slack in the labor market
than we think which is a good thing to
some degree because it removes that last
mass of fear the FED has of a wage price
spiral now don't get me wrong I'm all
for people making more money but not to
the point where it looks like people are
making so much more money that the
Federal Reserve has to destroy your job
make you get unemployed and destroy the
economy much more than they actually
need to because they think the economy
is much stronger than it is based on all
the phony money printing they did
leading to all this inflation that now
they're fighting but that's not the big
part the frustrating part with the
Federal Reserve is uh they they continue
to look at some of these headline
numbers where we go oh look the headline
number here we were expecting to get 203
000 jobs would we get we got 223 000
jobs oh no the employment Market is
still very very tight now the
Philadelphia fed has come out and
suggested just about three weeks ago
wait a minute maybe we're over counting
people because there are two surveys
there's an establishment survey which
counts how many payrolls there are then
there's a household survey which counts
how many people are actually working and
that means maybe we're double counting
people who have multiple jobs and what
did we find out happened between
November and December's jobs reports
well shout out to Zero Hedge take a look
at this chart it's damning job changes
from November to December ready for this
full-time job changes minus one thousand
part-time job changes Plus
679 000 jobs
multiple job holders plus 370
000 jobs
look usually people in this market work
part-time not because there aren't
full-time jobs available they take an
extra full-time or a part-time job
because they have to they have to
supplement their income that's why you
get a big bump in multi-jobholders and
part-time but then you also see another
bump sort of the the rest of the chart
right because if multi-jobholders let's
say this is the multi-jobholders portion
you still have another part over here
that's part-time that isn't also
full-time and that could be represented
by a couple things a people with
full-time jobs need to get an additional
part-time job not because they want to
have an additional part-time job driving
Uber or doing Dior de Shay but because
they have to they're Americans they pay
the freaking bills they do what they got
to do they get another job and they get
through a hard time by working harder
and paying the bills rather than giving
up they keep going now that sucks you
don't want to do that forever it's hard
but hopefully that pain is temporary but
you also see an increase in part-time
workers potentially as people who
retired realize oh even though I got a
nice Cola cost living adjustment for
Social Security dang things are still
expensive out here I gotta go get
another job or get a job again
so you enter the labor force as a
part-time individual
this is a very different story than
seeing Oh number of jobs uh went up by
223
000 in December
um well what kind of jobs well
apparently not a lot of full-time jobs
apparently a lot of part-time jobs and
multi-job holders uh and massive changes
in those sectors November to December
but if we actually look at march to
December so we zoom out a little bit
more what do we get here we actually get
a decline of full-time employment by 288
000 a net increase of part-time
employment of 886 000 and
multi-jobholders up 684 000. point is
between March and December it looks like
we have actually on net lost full-time
employment yet what is the Bureau of
Labor Statistics tell us well they tell
us that we've actually created
2.1 million more jobs than the household
survey shows but what kind of jobs are
we potentially creating well it doesn't
seem to be full-time work it seems to be
a lot uh to some degree here part-time
and multi-job work now this is a little
wild because you have a Federal Reserve
that is starting off with looking at
these headline numbers and they're
saying uh-oh looks like we have wage
inflation looks like we have more uh
more jobs being created it's time for us
to be more aggressive and talk about how
we're going to raise interest rates more
but it seems like there's a very real
risk the Bureau of Labor Statistics
isn't actually doing the best they could
and maybe they're trying but it's hard
for them with the data they have but it
doesn't look like we're getting the best
uh in terms of clear data when we zoom
in and we're we're starting to realize
holy smokes
we're losing full-time work average
hourly work weeks are also declining now
that's another issue compared to all of
what I've just described that's another
issue because watch this if you go here
to the average hourly work week for all
employees in this last report declining
by 0.1 hours that's actually very
important I'll give you a very quick
example let's say you're paid a salary
of two thousand dollars okay so you're
paid a salary of two thousand dollars
that's different from being paid hourly
right but let's say you in your case are
paid salary two thousand dollars per
week okay if your average hourly work
week was
34.4 like it was last month 34.4 2000
divided by 34.4 that implies you were
paid about 58 dollars
14 cents per hour but if your average
hourly work week actually went down to
34.3 then 2000 divided by 34.3 it makes
it look like you made more money in this
case about
16 17 cents more money 17 cents might
not seem like a lot but it's a big deal
because when we look over here and we go
the average payrolls in the last report
increased nine cents
then that implies wage inflation is
occurring but wait a minute if in this
example 17 cents was made up by the fact
that you got paid the same amount even
though you worked a little bit less
because there was less work to be done
at the factory than a lot of potentially
that wage increase could actually be
written off as a shorter work week
which actually might mean wage inflation
in reality is
flat or negative
that's wild so peace piece all of this
together here as sort of a bottom line
and and you see how Wild this is okay so
what do we have first we have that the
headline numbers double counting double
counting people and even the
Philadelphia fed said this the
Philadelphia fed said that in Q2 the BLS
suggested we created 1.1 million jobs
the reality was more like maybe we
created 10 000 jobs the Philadelphia fed
pointed out that the Bureau of Labor
Statistics might be wrong okay and
that's because of the double counting
but it's not just that where we're
seeing the real big increase in jobs
isn't part-time jobs
multi-job holders which when you have
multi-jobholders it's an implication
that there's economic stress
and actually a decline in full-time job
holders
at the same time average hourly earnings
May we're not certain about this but may
appear higher as the work week shrinks
so all of a sudden I I mean I'm not I
don't want to come across as like hey
I'm just I'm just looking for reasons to
be like hopeful here in fact I'm not
very hopeful when I look at the
government data because it just it seems
like the amount of revisions we get and
the amount of sort of misleadingness
that we get with headline numbers that
aren't actually reflective of what's
really happening it makes you a little
frustrated because the labor report we
got that headline number implies oh man
dang that job market it just continues
to be tight what the heck
well then you break it apart and you're
like wait a minute we're a barely
creating jobs according to the
Philadelphia fed we're getting people
who are working more because of well
rate hikes uh and inflation leading to
more pain in the economy people's
household net worth is going down their
stocks are going down their car values
are going down everything's going down
in terms of things that you own which is
very painful so people potentially get
another job so they can go buy that new
paintball gun or whatever they want and
hey I'll go paintballing with you okay
big fan but anyway then what else do you
get you get a decline in full-time
workers now that's weird because you
think like does this mean people are
less needed oh no well if that's the
case then maybe it means production is
actually falling and companies realize
we're going into a recession they're
actually laying off which is what we're
starting to see even McDonald's is
talking about laying off more of their
corporate staff and their stocks only
download like one percent year over year
and average hourly earnings may actually
appear even higher as that work week
shrinks that's wild
and in my opinion
seeing this
I become somewhat hopeful that soon and
remember hope is not an investing
strategy okay I'm a licensed financial
advisor I run an ETF I run educational
courses on building your wealth link
down below you know long-term investment
mindsets buying real estate wedge deals
I teach you everything I know
and I'm not here to say hope is a good
strategy but I am here to say that the
more we look at the actual Deep dive
numbers
the more concerned I get
that the FED is going way too far way
too fast and they're acting based on
numbers
that may actually not be as accurate as
they think and that's scary because when
you have somebody driving the car that
doesn't even realize they're being
Reckless
you're tightening your seatbelt because
you're like dude we're coming in for a
crash man
happy Saturday everyone thank you so
much for watching consider sharing the
video if you found it helpful and we'll
see in the next one good luck and
goodbye
