This is the basis upon which you've been running around here telling everyone else they are uneducated?

Compared to you, I'm a PhD. You are hopelessly stupid.

Even worse....you are dishonest.

So funny. I have officially beat them into submission when they are relegated to posting memes and help wanted adds as a response to the overwhelming data that jobs are disappearing.

Grim news regardless of your party preference. Employment is the temperature gauge of the nation’s economy. The number of unemployed people looking for work more than six months has surged to its highest level since the pandemic. Basically these are people put out of work during Trump’s first few months and still are not employed.

Nice job Trump.

Why a surge in long-term unemployed workers is ringing alarm bells

The number of unemployed people looking for work more than six months has surged to its highest level since 2021.

www.cbsnews.com

As of August, the number of long-term unemployed people had risen to 1.9 million, according to government data — the highest level since 2021, when the nation was still reeling from the pandemic.

With the job market faltering in recent months as employers put the brakes on hiring, more workers are being sidelined for months on end, economists told CBS News.

"We're continuing to see this low-hire, low-fire environment," said Laura Ullrich, Indeed's director of economic research for North America and a former official at the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. "There aren't really new jobs being opened up for people — there isn't room for new people to come in."

A CBS News poll released Thursday captures the dimming view many Americans have of the labor market, with 33% of respondents describing it as "good," down from 41% in April. What's more, 48% said they think there are fewer good jobs where they live compared to five years ago.

Things like this don't happen if the economy is good and Trump's tariffs are working

The Trump administration is preparing to roll out a bailout package worth up to $15 billion to support farmers hurt by trade disputes.

Maybe you mean for the rich guys at the top. Yea, I'm sure this is better.

How about farmers?

The Trump administration is preparing to roll out a bailout package worth up to $15 billion to support farmers hurt by trade disputes.

The US economy is growing, with strong GDP growth in the second quarter of 2025, driven by resilient consumer spending. However, high inflation and increasing tariffs are concerns, with inflation rising since April and economists expecting it to end the year above 3%. While the economy is performing better than many feared, uncertainty and weak consumer confidence suggest challenges remain.

This is not what we were promised.

The middle class and seniors got a huge tax cut. Wages are up ore than inflation. They have more money to spend after Biden crushed them with 9% inflation and 6 dollar a gallon gas. We are still in the Biden economy it will take a year to take us out of the hole he put us in. Its already much better.

Biden didn't cause that inflation. Trump lost in 2020 because he caused the mess Biden had to clean up.

How are wages up in a slowing job market?

Trump wants to lower interest rates which will cause inflation.

You don't know what you are talking about. Go back to watching Fox News

Trump gave Biden 1.4% inflation 6.4% GDP 2.00 dollar a gallon gas. Biden drove it up to 9.1% in 14 months by spending and driving up energy costs. We didn't need the American Rescue plan. It was funded by debt and printed money. Bidens war on oil did the rest of the damage.

Wages are up now after Biden crushed them with inflation.
If was such great president why didnt he run

Trump handed him a mess.

The economy as whole is better

In recent statements made during the October 2025 government shutdown, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene publicly remarked that prices have not come down and wages have not gone up for Americans. She used these observations to express concern about the economic struggles faced by her constituents and Americans at large.

Picking winners and losers I guess. Something the republicans claim not to like but do in spades.
