This. It's one thing to add jobs, it's another thing to be adding jobs like this when we're at full employment. But the left will still "but Obama!"
Has the coronavirus gone away now? LOL whenever the index drops the coronavirus is blamed; when the index rises no mention of the virus
Age is the deciding factor in that statistic. Kids with part time jobs and old people semi retired. 25-54 year olds in the earning years work forty hours Age Age 16 years and older: 38.9 Age 16-19: 24.1 Age 20-24: 34.8 Age 25-54: 40.5 55 and Over: 38.0
A different viewpoint ............ President Obama's first inauguration was held during the depths of the Great Recession. The economy had lost nearly 3.6 million jobs in 2008 and was shedding jobs at a nearly 800,000 per month rate when he took office. Trump only accomplishment was not to screw up the Great Economy he inherited in spite of Trumps effort to do so thru Bad Trade Tariffs decisions
Obama inherited a housing bubble burst and the economy had bottomed out. He presided over the slowest post war recovery in history and did so with his focus on obamacare and his funding for shovel ready jobs that never got funded because the money instead was spread around for political payoffs. By the end if his second term the economy was stagnant and obama called it the new normal saying those jobs aren't coming back. Enter Trump. Obamas job killing anti corporation policies were systematically repealed. Manufacturing job started coming back, wages started rising, blacks and Latinos set record high employment levels, stock market went on a tear. Its basically a repeat of the Carter malaise and the following Reagan boom years which turned into decades.
I wouldn't sell to raise cash for a cruise ship or airline ticket unless you really like pathogens. Maybe sell to raise cash to buy the coming dip because corona is going to get a lot uglier before it gets prettier.
Strongest growth is usually when we come out of recessions when their is plenty of room for it. Once you reach full employment and have a restricted labor force it's hard to reach those levels. Business had to turn to productivity gains which in fact is good for wags and salaries and as we see those are showing solid gains.
Not only that, the 225,000 "new" jobs number is completely FAKE! Tramp's BLS is doing what he accused Obama of doing! Total employed DECLINED by 89,000 in Jan!!!!!!!
Agreed Just a couple of addendums. Obama inherited what two years of a Democrat Congress, of which Obama was a full voting member, had helped produce with their lack of policies to try to mitigate the slowdown which then turned into a recession and in fact policies that exacerbated that and a loss of business and consumer confidence. If you follow the historical numbers the more the Republicans took back the better things got under their policies.
Because the numbers in the Tramp report are FAKE and the market looks at the actual numbers which show that the total number employed DECLINED by 89,000 rather than increased by 225,000, and the total unemployed INCREASED by139,000.
At this current level of unemployment? You really think nonsense spin like that fools intelligent people Mello Guy LMFAO
No, they came from the press release, the actual BLS data numbers show a DECLINE of 89,000 in total employed in Jan.
I'm semi retired and work while retired.. Why sit around with your thumb up your ass? Walking five miles a day gets pretty boring when you could use the same energy to make a buck, work a little harder at it and maybe take that extra money and help real people in destress around your community
JANUARY 2020 ADP National Employment Report Private-sector employment increased by 291,000 from December to January, on a seasonally adjusted basis. https://www.adpemploymentreport.com/2020/January/NER/NER-January-2020.aspx
That is a typical Limbaugh LIE you are mindlessly parroting. PT jobs for economic reasons actually DECLINED after the PPACA was passed in March 2010. Don't take my word for it, look up the actual BLS data, LimpBoy lied to you because he knows you will NEVER look it up!
The democrats played a huge roll in that crash too.. Plus morons that thought they could make a $1500 house payment on a $2000 a month take home job! No loan oversite was a direct problem created by Frank an Dodd.. Ya I know, no amount of data can get thru that barrier you throw up.. So just keep believing ONE party did it all, it prolly helps you sleep better and makes it less painful standing at a mirror
