Feb jobs report

Housing starts up 18+%...

Mixed news. Should be better, but it's not a horror show at this time.

‘Don’t hit panic’ — economists find the jobs report wasn’t as bad as 20,000 headline suggests

This is the "Your wife left you & ran away with the banker, she drained your accounts, took your kids, took a sledge hammer to your truck, ran over your dog but she left you your golf clubs." response?

Since most dims don't work - they just live off other people - what do they care?

Oh? Let’s see your proof of that...

Since most dims don't work - they just live off other people - what do they care?

Why do you tell lies? Why do you think of the best jobs are in blue states? Why do you think red states are such economic basketcases? If they weren’t able to get rid of EPA regulations and live in filth they wouldn’t even be economically viable.
You know these facts for truth.

Why, when you pick your nose, does your head cave in?

 

[RealDave]

Any Trumpettes want to talk about this yet?

Do you know how to link to an article when starting a worthless leftist traitor hack thread? Dumass?

No he doesn't. All he can do is spew worthless libtard tripe.

It is all over the news. You people are just being stupid.........oh wait.

I'm not worried about hourly moves in the market.

Or daily. Or weekly. Or monthly. They mean nothing.

Either way, I'll continue to hope for the best, regardless of the politics.

We are 410 days into a period of stagnation. How many more days till it is a concern for you?

So, the next time we get a good jobs report, you will not say much except "housing starts are down"?

 

[SmokeALib]

Lot of factors, weather, govt shutdown, etc. One month is one month see what happens in March

Worst Feb on record for snow, ice, temps in midwest/rust belt states. Tends to slow things down...

 

[airplanemechanic]

We already have more jobs available than people to fill them. How many more jobs do we need created over and above the labor pool?

■ 20,000 jobs were added last month. Analysts had expected a gain of about 175,000, according to MarketWatch. It was the 101st straight month of job gains, but the weakest report since September 2017.

■ The unemployment rate was 3.8 percent. It was 4 percent in January.

■ Average hourly earnings rose by 0.4 percent after growing by 0.1 percent in January. The year-over-year gain is now 3.4 percent.

Putting the weakness in perspective
January’s payroll gains were exhilarating. February’s numbers were disappointing. Together they offer a potent reminder that each monthly employment report from the Labor Department captures just a moment in time. Longer-term trends are what matter, and the streak of job growth continues to set records.

Still, as Carl Tannenbaum, chief economist of Northern Trust in Chicago, said: “This is a disappointing report. I don’t think there’s any way to sugarcoat it.” Rising wage growth is good for workers, but combined with soft payroll growth, he said, “it’s a signal we need to be cautious with the U.S. economic outlook.”

The sluggish job growth was in stark contrast to the two preceding months, both of which look even stronger after revisions announced on Friday. January’s gains were revised to 311,000 and December’s final estimate was 227,000.

Whats the numbers?

Only 20 thousand jobs were created in February.

U.S. adds a disappointing 20,000 jobs in February

 

[Crepitus]

Any Trumpettes want to talk about this yet?

U.S. Economy Loses Steam, Adding Only 20,000 Jobs Last Month

Worst Feb for jobs since 2010. Less than 8% of the average jobs created in Feb over the last 8 years.

Trump’s trade war damage is expanding past the financial markets.

You forgot to mention the real unemployment rate is about 41% according to trump and there are 101 million people not working.

Since I have to take this stuff seriously, my level of concern rarely changes.

This is all just partisan noise.

I'll just point out the big picture, as I always do.

And no doubt some winger won't like that. As usual.
