6.5M sidelined want work participation rate keeps falling…
1. Sector Breakdown
June job gains were led by gov’t, healthcare, and hospitality—low-wage, service-heavy sectors. Meanwhile, business services, manufacturing, and tech were flat or shrinking. This isn’t strength—it’s a shift toward unproductive labor. pic.twitter.com/STzuNl5NM8— The Coastal Journal (@1CoastalJournal) July 3, 2025
3. People Not in Labor Force Wanting Jobs
Over 6.5 million Americans aren’t counted in the labor force but still want a job. That’s hidden slack the headline numbers ignore—discouraged workers left behind despite “strong” job growth. pic.twitter.com/dJIGqwfLmn— The Coastal Journal (@1CoastalJournal) July 3, 2025
People working 2 jobs are still at record levels meaning more people working more jobs with fewer people working pic.twitter.com/nksJrTUbru

States “hired” 100,000 teachers in June?
When every school in the country is let out for 10 weeks.

Almost half the June jobs created were non-productive government jobs. The 4.1% official unemployment rate is a joke. Before 1994, the BLS used a broader definition—more like today’s 7.7% U-6 rate, which better reflects reality. The labor market is weak. Don’t believe the hype.

The internals show that govt hiring hiding significant prvt sector slowdown
Private employment:
(74K vs 100K cons /137K prior (revised from 140K)Ditto Mfg (-7K vs -2K cons / -7K prior)
The delta comes from Govt employment +73K vs last month’s -1K. Federal govt is shedding 7K…
