Disliked{quote} i tend to agree. but to be honest, you can´t compare us and (for example) german unemployment data because of the diverging methodology. if the german method would be applied to the us labour market, unemployment figure would rise sharply. one can only look at the change in data over time and compare it with the expected value once new data is released.Ignored
Example - 200k jobs added or 1 job added by itself says nothing until put in context. 200k, 100k, 500k, 250k....ok now we are starting to see a trend....so if a 1 pops up we have an "oh shit!". Same could be said the other way.....1 job, 5, 4, 9, 3, 100k (can you spot the oh shit?)
Well put! Here- have a boat
