Oops
When the U.S. government’s official jobs report for May came out on Friday, it included a note at the bottom saying there had been a major “error” indicating that the unemployment rate likely should be higher than the widely reported 13.3 percent rate.
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.

You equate Tweety with the economy, he’s failing on every side.
Though he has successfully built a wall, around the White House.
Don’t forget Tweety refused to release the economic forecast for the next quarter, much like he didn’t release the DNI’s report on National Security.
