What article is not mentioning is this, for the US:
Private sector: + 687,000
Government sector: – 319,000
Total: + 181,000
---
The government sector doesn't produce virtually anything that counts toward GDP, so GDP growth relates not to 181k of total employment growth but to 687k of private-sector growth.
So, no, this is not about eliminating jobs and a few people getting rich.
It is about statistcs, and lying to force the agenda.
