"Federal government employment continued to decline."

Actually, this is a good thing. We've had a bloated government for
6+ years. Biden hired government employees to puff up his employment
numbers, not because of the need.

oh crap, how many of Biden's jobs were government jobs?

By the way, how can you count people going back to their jobs
after the pandemic? I mean.....seriously.

Your argument doesn't hold. We are at record breaking deficits.
Following recent trends, healthcare led with 37,000 new positions, though multiple other sectors also saw gains.

Transportation and warehousing added 30,000, retail rose by 22,000, and social assistance saw a gain of 17,000.

On the downside, information services lost 13,000, part of a continuing trend that has seen the category down 342,000 jobs since November 2022, coinciding with the rise of artificial intelligence. That has equated to a loss of 11% of jobs during the period.

Most of the jobs lost has been from the reduction of government jobs, Zinc.
We really did have a bloated government.
I am all for reducing the deficit through a reduction of spending, not adding taxes.
How about you?

Feds have been hiring back. Please cite your support for your statements.

Lets reduce the deficit by cutting all nonSocial Security and nonMedicare spending by 50%, eliminating the SS cap, and changing the tax rates back to the Kennedy Administration. Agreed?

One has to take into consideration that Biden was riding on the COVID recovery. Job increases were inevitable no matter who was president unless they had enacted really, really bad policies. That's why you saw them spike in 2022, when we were passed the pandemic for the most part and then the increases gradually declined.

, and changing the tax rates back to the Kennedy Administration. Agreed?

Kennedy rates with the Kennedy deductions? Well, okay, not sure what that does, but....if it make
you sleep better nights.....

April jobs report: Economy adds 115,000 jobs, far better than expected​

Payrolls rose by 115,000 last month, and the unemployment rate stayed at 4.3%, the Labor Department said Friday. Economists surveyed by Bloomberg had estimated a median gain of 65,000 jobs following March’s blockbuster increase of 178,000 roles, which was revised upward to 185,000.

Apologies but google AI:
Key Aspects of the Kennedy Tax Cuts (Revenue Act of 1964)

• Individual Tax Rates: Lowered the top marginal rate from 91% to 70% and reduced the bottom rate from 20% to 14%.
• Corporate Taxes: Reduced the maximum corporate tax rate from 52% to 48%.
• Small Business Focus: Targeted a reduction in the corporate tax rate from 30% to 22% for the first $25,000 of income.
• Capital Gains: Proposed reducing capital gains tax rates from 25% to 19.5%.
• Impact: The legislation led to strong economic growth, with real GDP growing over 5% in 1964, 1965, and 1966.

Not thrilled by the growth of long-term unemployment and the expectations beat were pathetically low. It doesn't matter much to me one way or the other as I approach the end years of working already well-positioned. I do have trouble seeing what the long-term will look like for my whippersnappers just starting toward the real world though. I've noticed a lot of jobs starting wages seem to be retreating but not a lot of prices are retreating.

And inventories are down, and Consumer Confidence falls again.

No one know what's going on.

You nuts dont even TRY to understand facts. That is the frustrating thing… You chose to be stupid. Why? I’d love a reason.

The Trump policy on jobs is to hurry AI and robots along so oligarchs won't have to pay workers anything anymore

Consumer Confidence came in a bit better than expected and inventories are falling.
