Pretty constant rise since April. I wonder what happened then.

More firings, I suppose.

Why does this remind me of the ending of this?

Could be Monopoly money that can be used to help when you land on Boardwalks with a hotel. You just need to broaden your thinking.

September 2025 employment report from the BLS:

https://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.nr0.htm

Total nonfarm payroll employment edged up by 119,000 in September but has shown little change since April, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. The unemployment rate, at 4.4 percent, changed little in September.

The change in total nonfarm payroll employment for July was revised down by 7,000, from +79,000 to +72,000, and the change for August was revised down by 26,000, from +22,000 to -4,000. With these revisions, employment in July and August combined is 33,000 lower than previously reported.

So ... will anyone get fired this time for reporting these numbers?

Ax, you’re fired.

I know you were being sarcastic, but coding...? Not really, with Gemini 3 coming out and "vibe coding" and "agentic coding", plus of course Claude Code and others... we really are on the edge of a cliff of just being a coder is no longer valuable. Weird to say. I have more to say but I'll shift it to the AI threads.
