轉： 白宮操縱股市： 勞工部今天公布就業數字有誤，實際上失業率為16.3%

不好下周股市要跌回去了，勞工部今天公布就業數字有誤，實際上失業率為16.3%

https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2020/06/05/may-2020-jobs-report-misclassification-error/#click=https://t.co/oFrdlw99el 由於勞工部“技術失誤”，把部分新冠疫情下崗失業人員都算成因其他原因在職休息，導致計算出五月失業率下降到13.3% 剔除失誤的話，五月份實際失業率要高3%，應為16.3%，比4月份的14.7%還要高了不少。 勞工部否認是政治因素造成了失誤，正在緊急修改錯誤 補充：一共計算錯誤了490萬名失業人員，但出於政治考慮，沒敢及時更正 The May jobs report had "misclassification error" that made the unemployment rate look lower than it is. The BLS admitted that some people who should have been classified as “ temporarily unemployed” during the shutdown were instead misclassified as employed but “absent” from work for “other reasons.” The special note said that if this “misclassification error” had not occurred, the “overall unemployment rate would have been about 3 percentage points higher than reported,” meaning the unemployment rate would be about 16.3 percent for May. The Bureau of Labor Statistics, the agency that puts out the monthly jobs reports, said it was working to fix the problem.
