I don't like to conspiracy theorize, and I certainly don't think they'd be able to just make up these numbers out of thin air. But I want some statisticians and economists to dig into them and figure out what's going on.

How do we get millions of new unemployment claims every week and end up with net positive jobs created? I know they're measuring different things, but they ought to be strongly correlated. Did they change how they're weighting some of the averages? Somebody on TV mentioned that they noted some covid-related adjustments. I'm suspicious.
