Oh u/CowboyNealCassady, how you scratch me where I itch! I used to sing the praises of the BLS, but they fucked me in 2006-2007, again in 2010 (resulting in a loss of eight years of wages, though admittedly my case is probably unique/ rare in a unicorn-ish way), and yet again their forecasts from 2017-2018 are yet again proving to be grotesquely, double-digit percentage-points off and Iā€™m just waiting for the inevitable offshoring for a career field with a 26% growth forecast through mid-decade just four years ago. BLS statisticians are either evil, or incompetent, but they all need some serious Lord of the Flies federal severance packages.

I really appreciated this follow-up. It makes me really question the long-term societal impacts of corporate sway over residential real-estate, a la the death of the American dream and all.

It looks like you shared some AMP links. These should load faster, but AMP is controversial because of concerns over privacy and the Open Web.

Maybe check out the canonical pages instead:
