April’s expected hiring boom goes bust as nonfarm payroll gain falls well short of estimates

The employment expectation by the administration was far under the 1 million prediction of new jobs. Only 266,000 job increases happened. So, what does Joey have to say about it? Everything is fine. No reason to panic. Instead, let's pass another big bill to keep people in unemployment. What's going on here!

The reason the unemployment rose to 6.1% is because unemployment income is more than most can get seeking for a job. It's at approximately $15 an hour. People would rather stay home and collect $15/hr than work 40 hours a week for it. Then, there are the unions and liberal corporations that continue to use the pandemic to keep workers home but earning their unemployment or doing teaching by ZOOM. What the Democrat Party is doing is trying to make the U.S. completely subservient to them in Government. Just like Venezuela. The question is why?

In my opinion, Obama started this idea that America is not great. America is a bad country because it started out allowing slavery. Our beginnings, according to the wok leftists, was flawed and we are an evil country. A country that needs to pay for the sins of the past or even destroyed. That's why they either attack the Constitution or simply ignore it. Of course, they are completely wrong. But, they don't care. Their 1619 project is full of crap. But, they don't care.

 

Well, that's crappy news.

Can't say I'm surprised, either...

 

Extremely weird rant. Focus man, focus

 

I very much prefer these than unemployment numbers that include people who have to work two jobs because they are not paid a proper living wage.

Businesses that can't compete with unemployment should shut down.

 

Just a bunch of lazy ass people that are getting used to being fed from the government teat and don't want to go back to work....

 

Man think before you post.

Unemployment is being artificially pumped up by the government at the expense of future generations of tax payers.

But you want businesses to compete with government who can print money....sure.

 

Can't get evicted if you don't pay rent. Team Joe handing out buckets of free stimmy money, and promising that there's plenty more on the way.

Why go back to work?

Joe Biden has created a lazyass's paradise.

 

better than Trump's numbers during the Pandemic, at least were going up

 

lot of republican on welfare staying on welfare to try and make Biden look bad?

 

Do you have a relevant reply you know about the job numbers

 

And that's exactly what's going to happen.

Only in the twisted minds of leftists is the widespread shutdown of businesses somehow a good thing.

 

Yeah let's just shut down all the mom and pop small employers and then bitching rant about the large corporations

 

Simple mathematics and logic seem to be very difficult for some to grasp

 

Exactly this.

Team Joe's idiotic fiscal policies are creating the perfect pressure cooker to destroy small, local businesses, and give massive, nationwide corporate conglomerates the opportunity to continue the Taco Belling of America.

 

Oh God! More conspiracy theories? Does QAnon ever rest?

 

Wow dude you actually think what he said is a conspiracy theory you can't see the reality of it I hope you live long enough to enjoy the downfall of this country cuz you're cheering it on

 

I lost my oilfield job in 2020 and didn't file for unemployment or take a single dime in government aid. I immediately went out and got right back to work. I went from making $150k a year to making $50k a year, but you won't see me pissing and moaning about it. These people that are living on unemployment and refuse to go back to work is just pure laziness...

 

I certainly hope so

Only in the twisted minds of right-wingers are sweat-shops and other forms of modern slavery somehow a good thing.

 

Oh hell yeah the lady bastard ain't going to work if you pay him 200 more dollars a week to stay home they don't understand what the long-term consequences are cuz hey it's free money

 

You do realize it's the small independent businesses they can't afford the unemployment that you're advocating for the most right do you understand that evidently you don't

 

How many folks do you think are claiming unemployment?

 

You mean about evil government pumping up unemployment on purpose for no reason whatsoever? Definitely a conspiracy theory! And, as conspiracy theories go, that's a pretty dumb one. I mean... in the one about Bill Gates injecting nano-robots in the Covid vaccines, at least Gates gets some benefit. But the poster doesn't even bother to explain how pumping up unemployment benefits anybody.

 

As of today's date? Half a million....

 

So they're not paying extra for unemployment?

If I knew you were this clueless about what was going on I never would've responded to you in the first place.

 

In March of 2020, the U.S. government paid out 3.89 billion dollars in unemployment for that month. In March of 2021, that number is now up to 5.36 billion dollars. And it keeps going up, month by month....
