“Unexpectedly” lmao okay sure
Expectedly.
Unexpectedly, pretty sure everyone who knows anything about anything could disagree. 
Cue the fox News report on how it's actually good to lose jobs. The economy is "getting leaner" or "more streamlined" or some bullshit.
The most magnificent, strongest, and healthiest economy... It's really the best, you can't do any better and we're doing it. We're really doing great work with it
A truly bigly covfefe economy.
I read magnificent as malignant. Not sure which is better to your average kleptomaniac writing about "the economy".

Imagine thinking the market is in anyway okay rn
Bu bu but the dow! The DOW!
winning!
okay so they split out farm payrolls as an attempt to remove seasonal workers but did they actually remove seasonal workers from their datasets or are they pretending farm workers make an effective proxy? because i bet you if i dig into the dataset they are not.
everyone knows seasonal workers get fired in january and february. i bet the real numbers are way worse.
so much winning
