A survey of 77 economists was a complete waste of time after the August jobs report proved every one of them wrong.
National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett joined Fox News to discuss the report, which showed that the U.S. economy added 162,000 jobs in August. He noted that this defies the expectations of a large number of economists who had been surveyed by Bloomberg, with “every single one of them” getting the number wrong “by a lot.”
Watch:
🚨 WOW! In a stunning loss for the “experts,” it was just revealed that 77 economists were asked about their expectations for the August jobs report…
…AND EVERY SINGLE ONE WAS WRONG. +162,000 ADDED.

“If you recall, last month what happened was there was a kind of strange seasonal adjustment problem and so there was a big reduction in employment for teachers. And we knew that was going to come back once school started up and that we’d have a strong number, but this number skyrocketed so much more than we expected,” Hassett said. “To put it in perspective, Bloomberg surveyed 77 economists and said, ‘What do you think the jobs number’s gonna be?’ And this blew past every single one of them. All 77 got the number wrong, and by a lot. This number is four standard deviations above the average of their forecast. This is one of the best numbers relative to expectations I’ve ever seen.”
X users weighed in on the experts once again getting it so very, very wrong:
They were not wrong. They on purpose made bad ‘predictions’ hoping to hurt the economy and thus Trump. Needless to say, they will do it again. And again.

Looks like the experts aren’t so expert after all, and obviously suffer from TDS. Anti-American clowns.
