My favorite of these, by the way, is Threads now has community notes.

And there's a post I put out, I mean, in which I say, you know, the economy's going well, blah, blah, blah.

There's now a Threads community note checking that and saying I'm wrong, quoting a different

post by Justin Wolfers.

So I actually think it's great.

It's a good reminder for all of us to have a little bit of intellectual flexibility to be willing to change our minds, to be willing to update when the moment demands it.

I will say to you very directly, there is no evidence whatsoever that this number has been in any way falsified or tampered with.

No data are perfect.

This data surely is not perfect.

It's just an estimate.

It may later on turn out to be an overestimate.

But it's a good, honest, totally serious estimate, and we should update our views about the world accordingly.

Yes, absolutely.

So there's one sector called healthcare and social services, which has, since Trump became president, has created 901,000 jobs.

Everything else, every other part of the economy.

If you're not working in healthcare and social services, the rest of the economy actually has lost jobs.

On its face, that's a very striking claim.

And, you know, the last three months has been a little bit more mixed than that.

But, you know, you never want to go off one month.

So that's why I'm saying, you know, over the past year, it's all been healthcare and social services.
