The current #unemployment number is much weaker and reliable than total percentage of people employed and is certainly less of a reliable indicator to inflation or economic problems than default rates and other metrics as the author points out. Watch the facts not what is convenient to get a real gauge on inflation and market risk. Oil and trade wars are the most likely to cause inflation and default rates and unhealthy debt are currently the most likely to cause a market crash.
I agree, I stopped believing in #unemployment data a long time ago. It's hard to know what to believe any more with all the manipulation, fake news and interference by foreign governments (and our own).
I agree that there doesn't seem to be any near turn downturn, however, not because of #unemployment claims which have been manipulated so much that it's not a good long term indicator. Total percentages of the population employed remains poor and sadly young people are having a hard time getting into the workforce as well as many are underemployed. This has been the case for so long now, few seem to care besides those suffering.
I find the correlation interesting that as #unemployment decreases, the demand for consulting services increases and thus these stocks are more valuable and poised for great growth.
David---thanks for your many articles that pull the cover off of the mass media headline numbers nonsense. The best indicators of the state of the world #economy are statistics such as this-shipbuilding, Baltic Index, trucking etc not the government churned out #CPI, #unemployment numbers. Thanks for great work....Alan
