    Statistics from the US Government under Trump should be taken with the same pinch of salt as statistics from China, Russia or North Korea.

        Well, now that Trump has fired the chief of labor statistics behind this report, yes.

          I’m pretty sure I was underestimating, but I couldn’t figure out the salt content of the moon in a reasonable time frame during work hours so
