What does party affiliation have to do with posting a twitter link as your source of economic "facts" ???? That's as good as posting a Facebook link.

Go post your twitter link over in the Economics forum if you believe it that strongly.

Try reading analysis done by REAL economists:

He's just citing the same complaint as in the OP which, as I've pointed out, can be explained by a decrease in the # of self-employed and household health workers.

The person in my Twitter link is also a real economist.

Wow, that must surely disqualify her. We all know that everybody who likes cats is a fake and a phony.

This playbook is getting old, Democrats / Leftists disregarding everything from someone they don't like or isn't sufficiently credential'd to their liking in order to conveniently dismiss inconvenient arguments.

If the data is valid, and the argument is sound, it does not matter who is making it

Ok, but you're also gatekeeping "the facts". Truth is, economists can come up with three explanations for any data point. No one can predict whether the job market will collapse in the future. Economists make educated guesses. Will jobs tank in the future? I dunno, I read OP, and I read the Economist on twitter. Both make reasonable arguments based on data. We won't know for some time who is right.
