A record number of Americans quit their jobs in November and the media wants you to believe that’s a GOOD thing???

I’m a little dumbfounded at a breaking news story and the way it’s being heralded by the media. According to new BLS numbers, 4.5 million Americans quit their jobs in November and the AP is saying that’s a sign of ‘confidence’:

A record 4.5 million American workers quit their jobs in November, a sign of confidence and more evidence that the U.S. job market is bouncing back strongly from last year’s coronavirus recession.

A record number of Americans being ‘hired’ would be a sign of confidence to me. Americans quitting their jobs before Christmas? That sounds like something is bad wrong.

The AP even goes on to claim that the economy is doing great:

The job market has bounced back from last year’s brief but intense coronavirus recession. When COVID hit, governments ordered lockdowns, consumers stayed home and many businesses closed or cut hours. Employers slashed more than 22 million jobs in March and April 2020, and the unemployment rate rocketed to 14.8%.

But massive government spending — and eventually the rollout of vaccines — brought the economy back. Employers have added 18.5 million jobs since April 2020, still leaving the U.S. still 3.9 million jobs short of what it had before the pandemic. The December jobs report, out Friday, is expected to show that the economy generated almost 393,000 more jobs this month, according to a survey by the data firm FactSet.

The unemployment rate has fallen to 4.2%, close to what economists consider full employment.

Suddenly the job market is close to full employment? This doesn’t make sense. Haven’t we been hearing that businesses are struggling to fill positions all over America because people don’t want to work? Help wanted signs everywhere?

Back to the premise of this article, there’s something else about these 4.5 million Americans who supposedly quit their jobs that seems very fishy. This mass exodus from jobs happened during Biden’s vaccine mandates, yet the media isn’t mentioning that at all. Biden’s BLS is saying these people ‘voluntarily’ left their jobs, but it seems to me that the number is likely so high because many quit their jobs when they were told they had to get the jab. According to CNN, “Workers particularly quit jobs in the hospitality industry as well as health care”. That can’t be a coincidence.

The AP now appears to be onboard with pushing the Biden administration’s phony propaganda about the economy.
