The US labor market looks completely schizophrenic | @Schuldensuehner

The US labor market looks completely schizophrenic. While the Establishment survey by BLS reports 272k new jobs for May, the Household survey shows a large drop in the number of employed, down 408k jobs. This is why the US unemployment rate has risen from 3.9 to 4% despite a lower labor participation rate.
