    Trump being a crook defended to the hilt by a rabid cult of personality is all on the Democrats? I'm sure they would be surprised to learn that.

    Anyway, back to the actual topic:

    Jobs growth soars in November as payrolls surge by 266,000

    ...
    The jobs growth was the best since January’s 312,000 and well clear of the November 2018 total of 196,000. While hopes already were up, much of that was based on the return of General Motors workers following a lengthy strike. That dynamic indeed boosted employment in motor vehicles and parts by 41,300, part of an overall 54,000 gain in manufacturing. The vehicles and parts sector had fallen by 42,800 in October.
    ...​
    https://www.cnbc.com/2019/12/06/us-nonfarm-payrolls-november-2019.html

    Can't thank Trump for ending the GM strike. We can thank Trump for growing the federal deficit and national debt to record highs just to get a short-term gain in economic performance to make himself look good, which may or may not have had an effect on unemployment and job gains.

    Non-farm payrolls and the national debt are unrelated for the most part.

    Obamacare cut everyone's hours to where people who had a job forever, suddenly couldn't get more than 30 hours forcing lots of people to get 2nd jobs.

    This hurt a ton of people.

    Yeah Obama didn't create the gig economy, but he doubled down on it for sure.

    What has Trump been convicted of? Clinton was guilty of 11 items of wrongdoing during his impeachment. Cult, huh? Says the side that was on hopium for 8 years.

    Yup we all know Mr. Obatard was the king of Burger flipper and waiter/waitress jobs! We are celebrating real jobs that can put you in a home and actually tuck a little away in savings ¯\_(º¸º)_/¯

    There's truth to that. But nobody in either camp wants to address the deficit and debt.

    The pro-growth agenda began when the pro-growth president Trump got elected. Average annual GDP growth under the pro-government, anti-business "You didn't build that!" president Obama was a paltry 1.48% - which puts him close to the bottom of all time for any president - and GDP growth during Obama's last year in office was an anemic 1.49%.



    Yes, growth under Obama was pretty much in spite of all his failed economic policies, and Obama's failure was not only to be expected but unsurprising given that jobs and the economy were something he famously "pivoted" to when he was forced to take his attention away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America. As many of us remember and Obama sycophants are eager to forget, Chuck Schumer lamented how Obama and his fellow Democrats ignored the primary concerns of ordinary Americans - jobs and the economy - and focused their attention on their own primary concern - ObamaCare:

    "We took their mandate, and put all of our focus on the wrong problem, health care reform."

    Captain Obvious, in the flesh.

    Fortunately for Obama, the economy had nowhere to go but up, despite his fondness for increasing taxes, mandates, regulations and ever more government, most notably the massive and fantastically expensive new government boondoggle that bears his name and failed to deliver on its phony promises.

    Finally, there's the inconvenient fact that Donald Trump would't be president today if Obama's horrendous economic record hadn't been one of the worst of all time.

    This is not true.

    Sure, the rate of growth in part-time work might have been faster than full-time work; however, part-time positions usually remain stay part-time. Eventually, people transition into more secure form of employment, which is why you'll see a decline in part-time work over time.

    Apparently they didn't even know what service sector jobs were, no wonder Mr. Obatard was so popular with them.. Mr. Obatard had it EASY compared to Trump! One creates $8.00 an hour jobs and is a hero, Trump creates living wage jobs and he is Sumbitch.. Makes you wonder where and how the leftist mind works ¯\_(º¸º)_/¯

    Sorry, the chart I posted didn't come through for some reason. His claim is laughably false.

    I'd like to know how it is that Trump is supposed to be causing high-paying jobs to go up. It's a patently absurd claim to make, since Trump has no control over this. No president does. It is up to employers and, in part, the legislature to provide for full-time work and benefits. Employers have consistently done as little as they can possibly get away with legally, especially the large (corporate) employers. Trump's "easy" trade wars aren't bringing any jobs home. They might cause some to move from China to other developing countries, but they aren't about to return manufacturing to the US. This is because tweaking tax rates and slapping tariffs on imports does not alter the fundamental economic reality and does not suddenly stop inertia in that direction.

    From:
    https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/12/06/this-is-what-trump-economy-looks-like/

    Looking at the monthly change in employment since January 2009, it is not immediately obvious where the transition between President Barack Obama and President Trump occurred.

    The recession stands out, certainly. But after that, it’s a broadly static increase of between about 100,000 and 300,000 jobs a month. Some months are lower, some are higher, but most fall somewhere in that range. That includes November 2019, in which the economy added 266,000 jobs, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data released on Friday.

    If you’re curious, the break occurs here:

    Democrats don't want Americans to remember their "new normal" and "managed decline" global policies. To a Democrat, if making 1 American poor makes 3 foreign nationals wealthy. It is worth it. This is why America first as a slogan is so appealing.

    But that does show types of jobs.. One can certainly work "Full time" as a waiter/waitress or fast food out of necessity, that doesn't do much in the way of economic growth! And that was sorely apparent under Mr. Obatard eight year average..
