thejobchick: Unbelievable. The U.S. has already logged 10 MILLION layoffs & discharges (BLS JOLTS) from Jan—June 2025. June alone: 1.6M.

Let’s estimate July around the same (~1.6M) + half of August (~0.8M) = 12.4 MILLION job losses in 7.5 months.

And here’s the thing, y’all…

If BLS is misreporting the unemployment rate (as many suspect)… how much worse are these numbers in reality?

They call this a “strong labor market.” You tell me.
