Which is why a very confusing job report today, assuming doctored up to give the illusion that “all is well”, is actually a double edged sword. Except, in the end, the sword doesn’t cut anything at all.

The impact of "liberation day" tariffs won't be fully reflected in the jobs report for multiple months.
