Dems/Media Just Got KO'ed By Today's Jobs Report

Oh, dear. This is Shirley terrible news for the democrats. Their hopes for a crashing economy are crushed.


Employers in the United States added 177,000 workers to their payrolls in April, the Department of Labor said Friday, and the unemployment rate was unchanged at 4.2 percent, defying predictions of labor market sluggishness following President Trump’s announcement of tariffs.

The strength in hiring came from the private sector, which added 167,000 jobs. Economists had expected private employers to add just 125,000 workers. This was nearly unchanged from the downwardly revised 170,000 jobs added in March.
 
Not great, but not bad.

The labor participation rate is the real number to watch.

DOW's back up over 41,000. We were sure we were headed to another great recession a week ago, remember?

Excellent job, Mr. President! If you notice, the guy ALWAYS comes through.

So will this ruin the reputations of the leftwing economists who predicted disaster? No. The leftwing media recycles "experts" who have always been wrong. No mention is made of past failures. That's why we continue to see Nate Silver election after election. Same with the weird guy Carville. Same with economists Mark Zandi and Paul Krugman. Same with the climate change nuts like Algore who have been wrong on every prediction.

In part, the labor participation rate is within the employment number as reflected in the private sector number.

What’s devastating for the left is the strength of the numbers. They were hoping for numbers indicating doom and gloom…
because, you know, they’re self-loathing and retrograde.

But but Trump is trashing the economy. All you have to do is listen to the democrats 24/7.

Maybe if for one day they would stop lying, the voters would believe what they have to say. Grant it, Trump's poll numbers have taken a temporary nosedive because of the tariff situation but nobody trusts what the Democrats have to say on any day of the week. What a bankrupt party.
 
A Democrat Senator has now folded like a cheap pack o' cards:

On Thursday’s broadcast of “CNN News Central,” Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR) stated that the minerals deal between the U.S. and Ukraine appears positive and he appreciates President Donald Trump changing his approach.

Merkley said, “Well, what I really like is it creates a partnership between the Trump administration and Ukraine, which is such an improvement from where we’d been, where Trump was essentially mimicking or mouthing all of the talking points that Putin wanted him to mouth.


And it does have elements that we’ve heard about that sound good. It’s not demanding that Ukraine repay us for the aid that we’ve provided so far. It doesn’t ban them from joining the European Union.

It creates an investment fund that both parties will put money into. So, the outlines of it — I don’t know about all the details — but the outlines of it are positive. But the biggest positive is a partnership that has been forged with this administration and Ukraine.”

Co-host Kate Bolduan then asked, “Do you applaud President Trump for pulling it off?”

Merkley answered, “Well, I appreciate the change in tone and the change in commitment. We really saw kind of with the body language at the funeral, at the pope’s funeral in Italy, that there was a different dynamic at work. And what all went into that change of that dynamic, I’m not sure. But thank you, President Trump, for changing your approach.”


Somebody sees which way the political winds are blowing.

It will be fun to see who's left standing when the music stops.

As always.
