The Jobs Crisis Is Here — And Washington Is Gaslighting You

The Numbers Say Recession, But the Bureaucrats Say "Relax"

The November jobs report should have been a wake-up call. Instead, it was spun into just another technical anomaly. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, unemployment rose to 4.6%, the highest it’s been since 2021. We lost a net 105,000 jobs in October, and only gained 64,000 in November.

But don’t worry, say the economists — it’s just a quirk in the data.

We’re being told that the job losses were due almost entirely to federal government cutbacks at the end of the fiscal year. On paper, 162,000 federal jobs disappeared in October, thanks to a buyout program known as DOGE. That’s the excuse. And while that may account for the drop in government payrolls, it completely ignores the deeper private sector weakness hiding just below the surface.

Even the so-called “positive” stat — an average of 75,000 new private sector jobs per month — is abysmal. That doesn’t even keep up with population growth. Worse, healthcare and social assistance accounted for 116% of all private sector gains during this period. In plain English: every other sector is either flatlining or bleeding jobs.

Ignore the Statistical Jargon — Here’s What’s Actually Happening

Yes, the October data was affected by a government shutdown. And yes, more first-time respondents in November’s household survey may have nudged the unemployment rate higher than it really is. But this fixation on decimal points and methodology is a distraction from what people on the ground are actually experiencing.

A few critical facts:

• The number of full-time jobs in the U.S. dropped by nearly 1 million between September and November.
• At the same time, part-time jobs surged by over 1 million — meaning the economy is replacing stable income with gig work and low-wage scraps.
• Manufacturing is down 66,000 jobs since February.
• Transportation and warehousing is down 78,000 jobs.

These are not marginal sectors. They’re the industrial backbone of any functioning economy. When they contract, it’s not a rounding error — it’s a signal that the real economy is seizing up.

The "Soft Landing" Myth Is Collapsing

Jerome Powell, ever the cautious technocrat, says the Fed needs to be “careful” with interpreting this data. That’s code for: “We’re stalling, and hoping no one panics.”

The truth is, we are in a jobs recession already. The economy added just 100,000 net new jobs over the last six months — a catastrophic shortfall of 800,000 jobs compared to what’s needed just to maintain status quo.

Meanwhile, college graduates are applying to hundreds of jobs and hearing nothing back. Middle-aged professionals are running out of unemployment benefits with no prospects. The economy is becoming a zero-sum game — and the middle class is losing.

Don't Let Their Lies Destroy Your Livelihood

You are not imagining this. The labor market is unraveling. The "gradual slowdown" line is a façade — a calculated narrative designed to avoid panic while the real damage accelerates.

Behind every number is a human being pushed closer to financial ruin. While the bureaucrats massage decimal points, families are draining savings, losing homes, and falling into debt traps they may never escape.

If you’re still hoping the system will save you — stop. It won’t. But you can still save yourself.

Take Control Before They Do It For You

Washington is already preparing the next move: central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), negative interest rates, capital controls. The same people who told you “inflation is transitory” now want control of your money at the level of code.
