26. Ok... I think the main point from TFM and my posts
was that it's unreasonable to call it "lying" when both the raw figures and the adjusted ones are reported and the prose of the report gives the rest of the data.

The "headline" number accurately describes the employment/layoff situation. Still weak but improving significantly over just a few months ago. It's clearly a "better than expected" figure.
