...unemployment falls? The headlines say “job losses decrease” and “unemployment falls.”
But these are contradictory statements since any net job losses, even if the number is smaller than the month before, imply a decrease in employment.
This contradiction might be resolved due to the definition of unemployed, which might merely mean that more people have given up looking for jobs.
Or else it might mean that we are getting different readings from two different surveys that often give conflicting results (remember the debate during the “jobless recovery” when unemployment was declining but payroll figures did not show an increase in employment?).
Payroll says unemployment is increasing whereas the unemployment rate would seem to indicate the opposite.
Rhoda:
Try attacking what I write instead of me. It will go much farther toward your argument being effective.
