    It looks like several of the reports are attributing it to the 65+ bracket returning to work or simply not exiting the workforce.

    That could be seen as both a good and a bad thing depending on prospective.

    The unemployment rate was much higher when Obama was president in January 2015 5.0% compared to Trumps 3.5% so adding more than 225k jobs was much easier.

    The market has not had a real correction for a very long time. Many investors have been selling winners to take advantage of an expected significant drop. It has been a bad bet so far.
    The corona virus, among other things, could easily lead to a 20% drop.

    The Chinese virus. The recent market rise was it's factoring in the probability of Trump being re-elected, given the death of impeachment and the Dem IA fiasco.

    Neither Obama nor Trump added a single job. Hard working, risk taking, entrepreneurs hired these workers. Government can only hinder growth.

    Also, how is he making the numbers up? They come directly from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and you believe an opinion article over that.

    Trump told us they make up the numbers in 2015, and now they’re doing a huge downward revision

    Yep. I watch it all the time and the coronavirus outbreak caused the market to fall from 29,300 to 28,500 in two days. Now it's back up over 29,000 and broke another record yesterday.

    The CONGRESS is SPLIT!!!!!

    Had the left controlled the House and Senate, the market would be in the tank as well as the economy. We saw that happen when they controlled the Congress from 2007 to 2011.

    Wow. If I recall correctly the forecasters at Fox Business were expecting 165,000 jobs.

    Great way to start the year...:beer:

    The average workhours is 34.3 hours meaning we have a hell of a lot of less than 40 hour per week full time workers.
