On the one hand, he's trying to court Wall Street by incessantly demanding lower interest rates, but this seems toxic to them. Politicizing this means any future data is suspect.

The jobs numbers are such a huge part of the capitalist opera, and I don't think every major investor wants to try to gather their own data.
