If at 5pm ET, Trump Starts Posting about “Fake” Employment Numbers, Be Prepared

The White House receives embargoed BLS (and other) releases before the official release at 8:30am. If memory serves (and is still relevant), this is late afternoon the day before. So (if as before), Trump starts posting to get people to ignore the numbers, be prepared for a disappointing release.

Current consensus is +66K for NFP, +70K for private NFP (Bloomberg).
