23. On 9/30 the 150,000 "fork in the road" Federal Employees got their last paycheck.

They were technically employed until that date

Yeah, they'll probably commit a public fraud to try to hide the bloodbath October jobs report, but reality is.... well, real.

I don't think they can paper over the horrific numbers. Other data sources can be tapped. Sure, ADP doesn't include the public sector, but reports that fail to account for their illegal firings will be easy to expose. There are other public records like, ya know, the Federal payroll.
