'Is this real life?' The upcoming jobs report must be *really* awful if Jen Psaki's busting out this explanation for unemployment data [video]

Friday’s jobs report day, and you know what that means: spin.

And it looks like Jen Psaki’s getting the party started early this month:

In preparation for job numbers to be released, Psaki makes it clear that 9 million people called out sick because of omicron at the time data was taken. pic.twitter.com/j1fsJGwWfK

Jen’s just trying to manage expectations! And she’s succeeding, because we fully expected her to stand up at that podium and try to BS us.

…lol what

You heard her. Employees calling in sick means higher unemployment. Pay attention!

Call in sick takes away people's jobs? 🥴 https://t.co/4418F4RpVk

So just being out sick, means you’re unemployed….. is this real life? https://t.co/qOZjmnS7wq

It’s life during Joe Biden’s administration.

Just to show you how dishonest Jen Psaki is – how much she lies to America every day – she's saying that jobs data will be weak because people called out sick.

As we all know, people calling out sick are not UNEMPLOYED, and they are not counted in JOBLESS data.#PsakiLies https://t.co/0Vdtkiza6o

As others have pointed out, being sick does not cause you to be counted as unemployed.

Amateur hour. https://t.co/mAdnMGCLvZ

Not only is Jen Psaki seriously deluded if she thinks that Americans with functional brain cells will believe her spin, but it sounds like she knows something about the jobs report that makes her feel like she needs to make excuses for it.

That's not how any of this works, and that they're putting this really senseless excuse out shows it's not good news. https://t.co/r62YQBUA6l

Anyway, here’s some food for thought:

It is not a perfect analogy, but a CEO of a public company who made an intentionally false statement intended to downplay the forthcoming disappointing earnings data of her firm would expect a call from the SEC. https://t.co/AkeNdbROmN

In a sane world, we’d expect a call from Jen Psaki to apologize to us for mocking us and lying to our faces.
