There's an instruction I would ignore. The stock market number isn't a higher good than knowledge about the economy.

I do appreciate Trump cares about it. Bully for him.

Trump administration asks states to keep quiet about unemployment numbers
by John Gage March 19, 2020 09:43 PM

The Trump administration wants state labor officials to keep quiet about the exact unemployment numbers as they seek to keep the stock market from plunging further.

An email, obtained Thursday by the New York Times, told state labor officials to "provide information using generalities to describe claims levels (very high, large increase)." The department said it would release the number next Thursday.

"States should not provide numeric values to the public," Gay Gilbert, the administrator of the department’s Office of Employment Insurance, said in the email.
