#ADP employment report (of private employers) shows a gain of 155K jobs, which is better than expected. This is not an indicator of how the BLS report, this Friday, will be. ADP uses its own (anonymized) clients' payrolls to track employment, while the BLS is a broader indicator including public employment.

In other news, GDPNow's forecast is -3.7%.

In other, other news, the Beveridge Curve remains vertical.

Though weird, it's possible GDP goes down but unemployment is stable.

GDPNow chart showing a steep dive in the projected Q1-2025 GDP over two weeks, now at -3.7%, following four weeks of the projection floating between -1.8% and -2.1%.
Beveridge Curve showing, since Nov 2021, the curve being broadly vertical, meaning despite fluctuations in the jobs openings rate from ~4.1% - 7.4%, the unemployment rate has had very little movement between ~3.5 - 4.2%. Normally, the curve would negatively correlate openings to the unemployment rate. This suggests a lot of backlog of work.

So the english gov are going to base #UniversalCredit disability payments on the pip assessment, which they are also making far harsher. Regardless of all this being a massive fuck you to the poorest in society how the hell is that going to work in #Scotland ? Most people, myself included are now on our much fairer #ADP system, will UC honor the ADP assessment or is this another way to put people through the trauma of #PIP even if we no longer claim it? #disability

To explain: Apple withdrew ADP from the UK, which means the UK can continue to request any data they like regarding UK citizens.

The problem is that the UK claimed jurisdiction over Apple encryption globally, saying the UK had a right to request any data from Apple from anyone across the globe they have an interest in.

With the whole #ukpol on #e2ee forcing #apple to disable #adp and #usa going mad under #trump many seem to switch to #Signal over #WhatsApp.

But it seems still most people do not realize that if you use #Outlook, #Gmail, #Yahoo etc those very same governments have full access to everything that ever went through your mailbox.

Over at @privacyguides we have some good recommendations to switch to.

I agree with #jasminecrockett that this is a freaking nightmare.
Quote #leolaporte from #securitynow #podcast in context of #adp removal from Apple in UK in expectation of what might happen in the #USA :
"This is is a weapon, we now have a #weaponized #law #enforcement in the United States. This is the time to download some #secure #encryption and start paying attention to your privacy because law enforcement's going to go after their enemies." ( See: twit.tv/shows/security-now/epi )
