Employers added 130,000 jobs in January, topping expectations

Manufacturing jobs created since 2000:

W. bush : -3,500,000

Obama: +1,405,000

Trump: -212,000

Biden: +610,000

Trump : - 110,000

How did Republicans trick their supporters into believing that Republicans are good for the economy?

Biden's job numbers were negative even after all the jobs he added to the Federal Government for people who literally did nothing. Government jobs only add to inflation.
Trump has fired huge swaths of federal workers but still gained 100k jobs. (Biden's numbers always revised downward)

All that being said.

I still am not trusting Trump's numbers.
Jobs require shipping no matter what. Which affects shipping prices. More goods being shipped even if its just hot tubs or desks.

Both domestic shipping and INTNL container rates haven't budged. Both are in recession territory. The ONLY one up is exports and only slightly at that. (Meaning we are exporting more goods....a good thing)

So....even the construction industry is flat. No materials like steel, copper, and glass being shipped.

I'm not buying the 100k jobs.

Biden’s private sector jobs were NOT negative. Even if you take away the bounce back for Covid in 2021.

• In 2019 before Covid Trump had 139M private jobs.
• Trump left with 121M jobs
• In 2025 Biden had almost 145M private jobs.

Trump wishes he had that job growth instead of his flat private sector job growth. Biden added 6M jobs after making back the 18M Trump lost during the TrumpFlu.

I'm not buying the Biden Job numbers....except for the gubbermint jobs. (Causing inflation)
And they didn't offset the private job losses.(Which also caused more inflation and explains history precisely)

And I'm not buying Trumps numbers either.

When I see consumer confidence & spending increase without debt and transportation cost rise without energy prices rising....then I'll be a believer. Not until.

Supply and demand affects prices....

Economists had forecast a monthly payroll gain of 75,000, according to polling from financial data company FactSet.

The unemployment rate in January stood at 4.3% in January, down from 4.4% in December, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said Friday.



The leftists here won't like that.

Unemployment down too.

While Trump deported MORE THAN 130,000 illegals in that same month

Its all good

 

[Hafar1014]

Its all good

These are all private sector wealth creating jobs. 300000 useless government jobs have been terminated and 3 million illegals deported. Even more government jobs were lost last month. Thats how you build a strong economy

The only one we can’t trust is you who admittedly made up numbers. I linked actual numbers. Why would we trust your assessment of government numbers when you just admitted you made your numbers up?

Ive always asked what constitutes a job. 20 dollars per hour to me is not a real job.

I cited several verifiable reports to look at.

Transport costs aren't fictional....you can try to claim that but shipping and freight rates are still down. New trucks are not being ordered either. (Check to see if I'm telling the truth)

So you not believing me doesn't do anything but show your blind leadership to a party who wants you to drink kool-aid.

Good luck with that.

Supply chain increases do not raise costs. Fact.

You didnt cite anyone or any reports in this thread. Feel free to tell me what post that is in. Its not in here.

Transportation costs are down from what? Peak Covid recovery? No shit. Intermodal shipping has bounced between $1100 and $1200 per container for over a decade with minor spikes and troughs from covid.

Container shipping from Asia spot rates was $2k pre covid and $2-3K now.

Transportation costs are a super minor portion of final prices.

If you are expecting me to teach you how transportation rates and container prices are directly proportional to jobs and economic growth....I want MONEY and a LOT OF IT.

Especially since I'm having a battle of wits with someone who has admitted that he is unarmed.

I am expecting you to post the data you said you cited. You cant because you didnt.

Here is your claim and here is every post from you - none of which cites data or supplies any data.

Even your claim is specious. Rates are down from what? You didnt answer.

You can insult all you want but I assume you are on a debating board to debate. Get to it or get out .

Ummmmm
I'm not going to engage in a battle of wits with someone unarmed.

The charts and information is kinda standard and extremely well known. I don't have to tell anyone even halfway knowledgeable how to find stock charts or container rate charts or domestic shipping rate charts.....nor do I have to tell someone how to find Google or Wikipedia or anything else.
It's called "Prima Fascia" evidence.
And you not acknowledging this PROVES beyond a reasonable doubt that you are completely disinterested in honest discourse and are nothing but a troll.
ESPECIALLY in light of previous exchanges I have had with you.

Either get a brain and elevate your conversations above that of a troll or forget it.

LOL. So the dude who said he ALREADY cited data (I posted your quote) in this thread is now saying he doesn't have to? You have been exposed as a fraud my man. It would have been easy to say "oops, I thought I did. Here it is". But nope. Now you have gone full gaslight on yourself.

I guess it must be embarrassing to be so easily routed by someone as brainless as me.

Apparently you didn't notice....
But you urinated on yourself.
