There's no unemployment if we fire everyone at BLS!
It seems almost unavoidable at this point that we are headed for a deep, deep recession. Just based on 200K+ federal firings & pullback of contracts, the March employment report (to be released April 4) seems certain to show bigger job losses than any month ever outside of a few in 2008-9 and 2020.

EXTREMELY BAD NEWS for economic research, per former BLS Commissioner @ericagroshen.bsky.social on LinkedIn.
BLS is suspending access to its restricted data "for the forseeable future." Applies to projects through the Federal Statistical Research Data Centers & onsite projects with BLS.

From the BLS -- Food at Home (Groceries): +1.9%
SMITH: I see so many great things - gas coming down, oil coming down, groceries coming down. All these good things are happening but consumer confidence has taken a pretty significant hit. Why?
LUTNICK: That's why we have to people watch Fox, so they actually get the truth rather than the fake news

If this happens - and if Musk et al get control of BLS - then all economic bets are off.
I can’t say it any more plainly than that.

NEWS: Sources tell me that DOGE is setting its sights on the Department of Labor next. DOL workers have been ordered to give DOGE access to whatever they ask for—or risk termination.

So they refused to release the monthly jobs report and pulled their nominee to run the BLS. Also, the cuts at BLS make it more difficult to collect employment data. Not great signs from this administration.
