The U.S. economy continued to add jobs at a solid clip in May, with nonfarm payrolls up 223,000 while the unemployment rate was 3.8 percent, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday.

Trump bests Obama again just 2 years into his first term

 

[Google]

But they said once Trump won the economy was going to crash!?! I don't understand!!!

 

[BluesLegend]

At this point in Obama's presidency Obama was still whining and blaming Bush.

 

[TNHarley]

According to economists a couple years ago, that number should be closer to 38%

Good news for America.

the unemployment rate was 3.8 percent, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday.

Donnie Dirt Bag himself says that number is FAKE!
He says the real number is the "not in labor force" total which increased by 170,000 causing the LFPR to drop another .1%
Donnie Dirt Bag's unemployment percent is due to loss of available workers.

JAN. 11, 2017 press conference
TRUMP: There will be a major border tax on these companies that are leaving and getting away with murder. And if our politicians had what it takes, they would have done this years ago. And you’d have millions more workers right now in the United States that are — 96 million really wanting a job and they can’t get. You know that story. The real number — that’s the real number.

Payrolls rise by better than expected 223,000 in May, jobless rate drops to 3.8%

The U.S. economy continued to add jobs at a solid clip in May, with nonfarm payrolls up 223,000 while the unemployment rate was 3.8 percent, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday.

Economists had been expecting payroll growth of 188,000 and the jobless to hold steady at 3.9 percent.

The unemployment rate was last this low in April 2000.

And for the purposes of adding insult to injury and pouring salt on the wound(s), heard some “source” during a radio news break yesterday speculating 2Q GDP could be in the 4.4 neighborhood.

It’s getting to be buzz kills on steroids for the hopelessly lost lefty lunatics these days. Fun, huh?

How are fake numbers good for America?

Ha yeah.

 

[Faun]

Good news for America.

That’s odd? I don’t recall you saying that once while Obama was president, even though jobs were being added at roughly the same rate as they are now...

 

[Faun]

According to economists a couple years ago, that number should be closer to 38%

Ha yeah.

Are you laughing at Trump’s lies?

 

[rightwinger]

Big deal....Trump added some burger flipping jobs

 

[rightwinger]

3.8 percent is a bogus number

REAL unemployment is at 52 percent

You do know the real Q1 2018 GDP was adjusted DOWN to 2.2%, don't you? If you remember the forecast by the Atlanta Fed for Q1 2018 was 5.4%

Are you laughing at Trump’s lies?

Come on, ya'll did predict the sky would fall if Hitlery didn't win.

Ha, this is gonna be one of your longer Hissy-fits, huh? I love it.

Well Trump did say the unemployment rate was 42% when it just a couple of points higher than it is now. So anyone laughing at the suggestion the unemployment rate is much lower than that must be laughing at trump’s lie, right?

 

[edthecynic]

3.8 percent is a bogus number

REAL unemployment is at 52 percent

Actually it is up to 69.3%
111,980,000 not working and labor force of 161,539,000.
