Between Omicron (crazy transmissible! but much milder!) and this jobs report (yucky jobs growth! fantastically low unemployment!) it really is a wild time for takemongers in the pick-your-own-narrative market. Be safe out there.
The establishment and household surveys keep diverging because everyone is making it big on substack.

I think it is genuinely possible that we've seen a boom in self-employment and new small firms.

It's #JobsReport day so time to update our jobs tracker.
The topline:
34m jobs = 16 yrs Clinton Obama
6.2m jobs = 11 months Biden
2m jobs = 16 years 2 Bushes Trump
Already 3 times as many Biden jobs as last 3 GOP Presidents, COMBINED. 1/
