Actually, as it is such an old expansion, when you would expect to see such numbers plateauing, instead of accelerating,
it makes them far MORE significant.
It gives even MORE weight to the ideas behind them.
AND suggests what I want to see, ie, a change not in the short term numbers, but a deeper changing in the underlying long term trends.
They are not accelerating...there was one good month...in a month that is historically the 2nd best for job growth.
You people get way to excited over a single month.
This is rapidly leaving "isolated report" behind.
And it is accelerating. This recovery is ancient. In the normal course of events, it would have ended long ago.
That Trump is getting improvements in manufacturing at this late date, is shocking.
There is no acceleration, this year will be the slowest year since 2011, and then only because Jan and Nov were outliers from the rest of the year.
13,000 new manufacturing jobs is really nothing to bring crowing about
Do you care about the rise in lower end wages?
What does that have to do with my post?
Well, you are dismissing one encouraging trend. I wondered if you were dismissing another, and if it two positive trends might suggest a pattern to you.
