0:00

while the government is misleading us

0:01

again and not only are they misleading

0:04

us with the labor report but

0:05

unfortunately they're potentially

0:07

misleading the Federal Reserve as well

0:09

now that's not to suggest that the

0:10

Federal Reserve is stupid it's just to

0:13

suggest that the Federal Reserve bases a

0:15

lot of their actions on what the Labor

0:18

Statistics are telling us and when the

0:21

Labor Statistics come in hot guess what

0:23

the Federal Reserves does they get a

0:25

little more aggressive last report the

0:28

Labor Statistics came a little hot and

0:29

what'd we get we got Jerome Powell who

0:31

came out just a couple weeks later and

0:33

acted a little more hawkish and

0:35

suggested the labor market was so tight

0:37

and wages were so increasing that the

0:40

three parts of inflation that we have to

0:42

deal with only two of them were actually

0:44

coming down goods inflation and

0:46

household inflation like rent inflation

0:47

is finally starting to rotate down but

0:50

wages are surprisingly sticky and

0:52

they're still going up and that could

0:54

lead to a wage price spiral which would

0:56

crash economies and I hate to say it but

0:59

the Bureau of Labor Statistics once

1:02

again came out and actually had to

1:05

revise some of the garbage they gave us

1:07

last month and even at that they're

1:10

still misleading us with some of the

1:12

other numbers in this video I'm going to

1:13

break that down for you first this one a

1:16

little bit more benign but shows you

1:18

graphically some of the issues so Jerome

1:20

Powell who was a little frustrated last

1:22

month was referring to the light blue

1:25

line that average hourly earnings based

1:29

on a 12-month rate of change had

1:31

actually risen in the last Labor report

1:35

and that made Jerome Powell nervous but

1:38

the Bureau of Labor Statistics screwed

1:41

up and they ended up revising the

1:45

average hourly earnings change from last

1:47

month to instead of rising to actually

1:51

lower and then flat at a lower level and

1:55

then down in other words great versus

1:58

bad the that we could see depicted or

2:02

actually written out right here we had

2:05

average hourly earnings for the last 12

2:07

months that came in at 4.6 percent the

2:12

estimate was five percent and the last

2:15

hourly earning read was also revised

2:19

down that revision down was critical we

2:22

saw a revision down to 4.8 percent from

2:26

5.1 for those year-over-year figures

2:28

that's a big shift and that actually

2:31

suggests wait a minute maybe there's

2:32

actually more slack in the labor market

2:34

than we think which is a good thing to

2:37

some degree because it removes that last

2:40

mass of fear the FED has of a wage price

2:43

spiral now don't get me wrong I'm all

2:45

for people making more money but not to

2:48

the point where it looks like people are

2:50

making so much more money that the

2:52

Federal Reserve has to destroy your job

2:54

make you get unemployed and destroy the

2:58

economy much more than they actually

3:01

need to because they think the economy

3:03

is much stronger than it is based on all

3:05

the phony money printing they did

3:07

leading to all this inflation that now

3:09

they're fighting but that's not the big

3:11

part the frustrating part with the

3:14

Federal Reserve is uh they they continue

3:16

to look at some of these headline

3:19

numbers where we go oh look the headline

3:21

number here we were expecting to get 203

3:24

000 jobs would we get we got 223 000

3:27

jobs oh no the employment Market is

3:30

still very very tight now the

3:33

Philadelphia fed has come out and

3:35

suggested just about three weeks ago

3:37

wait a minute maybe we're over counting

3:41

people because there are two surveys

3:43

there's an establishment survey which

3:46

counts how many payrolls there are then

3:48

there's a household survey which counts

3:50

how many people are actually working and

3:54

that means maybe we're double counting

3:56

people who have multiple jobs and what

4:00

did we find out happened between

4:02

November and December's jobs reports

4:06

well shout out to Zero Hedge take a look

4:09

at this chart it's damning job changes

4:13

from November to December ready for this

4:15

full-time job changes minus one thousand

4:20

part-time job changes Plus

4:25

679 000 jobs

4:27

multiple job holders plus 370

4:33

000 jobs

4:34

look usually people in this market work

4:39

part-time not because there aren't

4:42

full-time jobs available they take an

4:44

extra full-time or a part-time job

4:46

because they have to they have to

4:48

supplement their income that's why you

4:50

get a big bump in multi-jobholders and

4:53

part-time but then you also see another

4:55

bump sort of the the rest of the chart

4:57

right because if multi-jobholders let's

5:00

say this is the multi-jobholders portion

5:02

you still have another part over here

5:04

that's part-time that isn't also

5:06

full-time and that could be represented

5:09

by a couple things a people with

5:12

full-time jobs need to get an additional

5:15

part-time job not because they want to

5:17

have an additional part-time job driving

5:19

Uber or doing Dior de Shay but because

5:22

they have to they're Americans they pay

5:24

the freaking bills they do what they got

5:26

to do they get another job and they get

5:28

through a hard time by working harder

5:29

and paying the bills rather than giving

5:32

up they keep going now that sucks you

5:35

don't want to do that forever it's hard

5:37

but hopefully that pain is temporary but

5:40

you also see an increase in part-time

5:41

workers potentially as people who

5:44

retired realize oh even though I got a

5:46

nice Cola cost living adjustment for

5:48

Social Security dang things are still

5:50

expensive out here I gotta go get

5:52

another job or get a job again

5:54

so you enter the labor force as a

5:56

part-time individual

5:57

this is a very different story than

6:01

seeing Oh number of jobs uh went up by

6:05

223

6:07

000 in December

6:08

um well what kind of jobs well

6:11

apparently not a lot of full-time jobs

6:13

apparently a lot of part-time jobs and

6:15

multi-job holders uh and massive changes

6:19

in those sectors November to December

6:21

but if we actually look at march to

6:24

December so we zoom out a little bit

6:25

more what do we get here we actually get

6:28

a decline of full-time employment by 288

6:32

000 a net increase of part-time

6:35

employment of 886 000 and

6:37

multi-jobholders up 684 000. point is

6:41

between March and December it looks like

6:45

we have actually on net lost full-time

6:48

employment yet what is the Bureau of

6:51

Labor Statistics tell us well they tell

6:53

us that we've actually created

6:56

2.1 million more jobs than the household

7:00

survey shows but what kind of jobs are

7:03

we potentially creating well it doesn't

7:06

seem to be full-time work it seems to be

7:08

a lot uh to some degree here part-time

7:10

and multi-job work now this is a little

7:14

wild because you have a Federal Reserve

7:17

that is starting off with looking at

7:20

these headline numbers and they're

7:22

saying uh-oh looks like we have wage

7:24

inflation looks like we have more uh

7:27

more jobs being created it's time for us

7:29

to be more aggressive and talk about how

7:31

we're going to raise interest rates more

7:33

but it seems like there's a very real

7:35

risk the Bureau of Labor Statistics

7:37

isn't actually doing the best they could

7:40

and maybe they're trying but it's hard

7:42

for them with the data they have but it

7:44

doesn't look like we're getting the best

7:46

uh in terms of clear data when we zoom

7:50

in and we're we're starting to realize

7:52

holy smokes

7:54

we're losing full-time work average

7:57

hourly work weeks are also declining now

8:01

that's another issue compared to all of

8:03

what I've just described that's another

8:04

issue because watch this if you go here

8:07

to the average hourly work week for all

8:10

employees in this last report declining

8:13

by 0.1 hours that's actually very

8:16

important I'll give you a very quick

8:18

example let's say you're paid a salary

8:20

of two thousand dollars okay so you're

8:23

paid a salary of two thousand dollars

8:26

that's different from being paid hourly

8:28

right but let's say you in your case are

8:30

paid salary two thousand dollars per

8:33

week okay if your average hourly work

8:36

week was

8:37

34.4 like it was last month 34.4 2000

8:42

divided by 34.4 that implies you were

8:46

paid about 58 dollars

8:48

14 cents per hour but if your average

8:51

hourly work week actually went down to

8:56

34.3 then 2000 divided by 34.3 it makes

9:02

it look like you made more money in this

9:05

case about

9:06

16 17 cents more money 17 cents might

9:11

not seem like a lot but it's a big deal

9:13

because when we look over here and we go

9:15

the average payrolls in the last report

9:18

increased nine cents

9:21

then that implies wage inflation is

9:23

occurring but wait a minute if in this

9:26

example 17 cents was made up by the fact

9:29

that you got paid the same amount even

9:30

though you worked a little bit less

9:32

because there was less work to be done

9:35

at the factory than a lot of potentially

9:38

that wage increase could actually be

9:40

written off as a shorter work week

9:44

which actually might mean wage inflation

9:47

in reality is

9:50

flat or negative

9:52

that's wild so peace piece all of this

9:56

together here as sort of a bottom line

9:58

and and you see how Wild this is okay so

10:01

what do we have first we have that the

10:04

headline numbers double counting double

10:08

counting people and even the

10:10

Philadelphia fed said this the

10:12

Philadelphia fed said that in Q2 the BLS

10:15

suggested we created 1.1 million jobs

10:18

the reality was more like maybe we

10:21

created 10 000 jobs the Philadelphia fed

10:25

pointed out that the Bureau of Labor

10:27

Statistics might be wrong okay and

10:30

that's because of the double counting

10:31

but it's not just that where we're

10:33

seeing the real big increase in jobs

10:36

isn't part-time jobs

10:39

multi-job holders which when you have

10:41

multi-jobholders it's an implication

10:43

that there's economic stress

10:46

and actually a decline in full-time job

10:49

holders

10:51

at the same time average hourly earnings

10:55

May we're not certain about this but may

10:58

appear higher as the work week shrinks

11:04

so all of a sudden I I mean I'm not I

11:07

don't want to come across as like hey

11:09

I'm just I'm just looking for reasons to

11:11

be like hopeful here in fact I'm not

11:13

very hopeful when I look at the

11:14

government data because it just it seems

11:16

like the amount of revisions we get and

11:19

the amount of sort of misleadingness

11:21

that we get with headline numbers that

11:23

aren't actually reflective of what's

11:25

really happening it makes you a little

11:27

frustrated because the labor report we

11:30

got that headline number implies oh man

11:32

dang that job market it just continues

11:35

to be tight what the heck

11:37

well then you break it apart and you're

11:40

like wait a minute we're a barely

11:43

creating jobs according to the

11:45

Philadelphia fed we're getting people

11:47

who are working more because of well

11:50

rate hikes uh and inflation leading to

11:54

more pain in the economy people's

11:56

household net worth is going down their

11:58

stocks are going down their car values

12:00

are going down everything's going down

12:03

in terms of things that you own which is

12:05

very painful so people potentially get

12:07

another job so they can go buy that new

12:09

paintball gun or whatever they want and

12:11

hey I'll go paintballing with you okay

12:12

big fan but anyway then what else do you

12:15

get you get a decline in full-time

12:17

workers now that's weird because you

12:19

think like does this mean people are

12:22

less needed oh no well if that's the

12:26

case then maybe it means production is

12:28

actually falling and companies realize

12:30

we're going into a recession they're

12:31

actually laying off which is what we're

12:33

starting to see even McDonald's is

12:35

talking about laying off more of their

12:37

corporate staff and their stocks only

12:38

download like one percent year over year

12:41

and average hourly earnings may actually

12:43

appear even higher as that work week

12:45

shrinks that's wild

12:48

and in my opinion

12:51

seeing this

12:53

I become somewhat hopeful that soon and

12:57

remember hope is not an investing

12:58

strategy okay I'm a licensed financial

13:00

advisor I run an ETF I run educational

13:03

courses on building your wealth link

13:04

down below you know long-term investment

13:06

mindsets buying real estate wedge deals

13:08

I teach you everything I know

13:12

and I'm not here to say hope is a good

13:15

strategy but I am here to say that the

13:19

more we look at the actual Deep dive

13:21

numbers

13:22

the more concerned I get

13:24

that the FED is going way too far way

13:28

too fast and they're acting based on

13:31

numbers

13:32

that may actually not be as accurate as

13:34

they think and that's scary because when

13:37

you have somebody driving the car that

13:40

doesn't even realize they're being

13:42

Reckless

13:44

you're tightening your seatbelt because

13:46

you're like dude we're coming in for a

13:48

crash man

13:52

happy Saturday everyone thank you so

13:54

much for watching consider sharing the

13:55

video if you found it helpful and we'll

13:56

see in the next one good luck and

13:58

goodbye
