So, just vibes then?

There is zero reason to believe the unemployment numbers have been altered by political actors.

All non-government reporting matches the BLS figures. There is an ongoing correction in the tech labor market, healthcare is growing rapidly, hospitality is growing slowly, and manufacturing remains flat.

If you want be in your sads and just dream up some conspiracy, I can’t stop you. But, you should know it’s willfully stupid.

No, verified facts

There is zero reason to believe the unemployment numbers have been altered by political actors.

Other than the FACT that "The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics does not define people as “unemployed” unless they are actively looking for work.“.

All non-government reporting matches the BLS figures

Because they're reporting based on the same skewed criteria.

There is an ongoing ~~correction~~ massacre in the tech labor market

Fixed it for you.

healthcare profit is growing rapidly,

And again.

and manufacturing remains ~~flat.~~ historically low

And one more 'gain.

If you want be in your sads and just dream up some conspiracy, I can’t stop you

Gee, thanks! Likewise, I can't stop you from pretending that everything is hunky dory and that mass layoffs is a "correction" rather than the deprivation of throngs of blameless workers, but someone should.

But, you should know it’s willfully stupid.

Right back at you.
