Good Morning!
So the unemployment numbers came out today, and these headlines have me dizzy:
NYT:
WaPo:
Unemployment rate stays steady at pandemic low of 3.6%
U.S. employers added 390,000 jobs in May, keeping the unemployment rate at 3.6 percent.
CNN:
3.6% is still a good thing, right? I mean, WTF.

I fear that a lot of news operations are more interested in having a horse race in the fall so that their ad revenues go up than looking at the facts. How are these numbers indicative of a slow down? They are not. However, I guess that the narrative is important than the facts.
