As if the actual dismal job report released by the Department of Labor for September was not bad enough, an anchor at Univision saw the need to spice things up with a sprinkling of FAKE NEWS as to why 4.3 million American left their jobs that month, attributing the lie to the U.S. Department of Labor.
Watch as anchor Elyangélica González, from the midday Univision News, Digital Edition, misinformed the audience by saying that, "according to the Department of Labor", the job separations were “happening due to a combination of increased opportunities with better pay elsewhere, in addition to fear over the Delta variant.”
When it comes to liberal journalists, one never misses a chance to cleanup Biden's mess:
Let’s move on because our number of the day is: 4 million, 300 thousand. That’s the record number of Americans that quit their jobs, which is the highest since December of 2000 and which is equivalent to 3% of the workforce. August hirings fell to 6.3 million, as opposed to 6.8 million in July. According to the Department of Labor, this is happening due to a combination of increased opportunities with better pay elsewhere, in addition to fear over the Delta variant.
The press release distributed by the Department of Labor DID NOT INCLUDE such reasons as stated on-air by González. Here is a portion of the press release regarding separations:
Total separations includes quits, layoffs and discharges, and other separations. Quits are generally voluntary separations initiated by the employee. Therefore, the quits rate can serve as a measure of workers’ willingness or ability to leave jobs. Layoffs and discharges are involuntary separations initiated by the employer. Other separations includes separations due to retirement, death, disability, and transfers to other locations of the same firm.
A Univision.com report on the same subject speculated on the possible causes for the exodus; but for González to state alleged official government information as fact, she deserves to be called out for what it is: FAKE NEWS.
Fact checkers take note.
