Great Again! Job Numbers +201,000. Wages Up Too!

[The Purge]

Why can’t we agree that everything is going well now? Why must we point fingers and insult one another?

It is what the left does when they are on the losing end!

Today during the press conference, Trump financial adviser Hassett admitted they fudged the numbers to show a wage increase when there really isn't one. They said they left off the wage number, the new employees in the work force because they are generally the ones with lower wages. It's dishonest of them to do, but at least he admitted it.

Was that a "If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor moment" or not quite as bad?

Ha! The most used comeback when Little Trumpsters are backed into a corner.
Trump has over 4,200 documented and verified lies since he has been president, that neither Trump, his team or Little Trumpsters have been unable to debunk.
Chew on that.

Aw, you can read all about it at...

Economy adds more jobs than expected in August, and wage growth hits post-recession high

Don't need more liberal heads exploding....it is getting messy!

Is this chart right? I didn't vet it or anything.

Let's see if you notice the spike in unemployment after Obama almost spent a trillion dollars after his stimulous and no spike after Trump's tax cuts.....

And what about the 8 year continued drop?

This is very good news.

Every year since 2009ish has had the unemployment news it seems.

Yeah, that 4.1% is at or below the natural unemployment rate. This is generally a concern as it tends to drive inflation as the demand for goods goes up.

On top of that, the tariffs decrease the availability of goods while also adding a tax on top of the price.

Things seem a bit out of balance.

We can debate the finer points of slow implimentation of tariffs but generally I like them. I'll stand behind the Donald on that one.

Plus just because he did it doesn't mean its a bad idea.

Also, our standard of living CAN take a hit. We dispose of a goofy amount of our income IMO.

Cool.

Does that show young Republican small business owners feel good about what Donald will do?

Really that counts for SOMETHING. Folks hiding their money in socks doesn't churn the economy. Optimism charts just seem....kinda like liberal arts. They make you feel good and the degree does mean SOMETHING.

• U.S. wages growing at fastest rate in 9 years as unemployment stays at 3.9 percent
  
  Washington Post ^ | Sept. 7, 2018 | Heather long
  Hiring picked up in August and so did worker pay -- registering the fastest wage growth since 2009 in an encouraging sign that wages may finally be moving higher after years of sluggish gains. August was the 95th straight month the U.S. economy added jobs, with a robust 201,000 job gains, the Labor Department reported Friday, while wages for U.S. workers grew at 2.9 percent in the past year. The national unemployment rate remained at 3.9 percent, one of the lowest levels in half a century. The higher pay is a sign that businesses are having to compete hard for...

I guess you just bury your head in the sand about the 423,000 jobs lost in the Household Survey...you know it, the one the U-3 is based on?
Or that almost all of those losses were full time jobs?
Or that the employment population ratio (a far more accurate means of measuring unemployment) went down?
