I know where there literally hundreds of jobs that go unfilled in the NW Arkansas area....Good paying jobs with careers in trades...As the old timers would tell me when I was young, "that's house buying money"...
The trucking industry is in bad need of drivers, my eldest son makes around 60K a year...He's in Japan right now on vacation...

Nothing makes a conservative happier than a disappointing jobs report while a democrat is POTUS.
Still....the economy is good enough that your nutbag orange weirdo hardly brings it up. Your dreams that it will tank in the next 60 days wont come true, freak boy.
All you have left is a prayer that Julian Assange and the Russians really have something juicy to release. It must suck being you.

there is no news bad enough that the left wing won't ignore it if a democrat is president. Truth up.

I already knew it was going to be 8 years of 0.0 job growth. Stupidity of those who are democrat/obama or Hillary supporters actually believe that any amount of jobs is jobs growth. How can 150,000 new jobs be considered growth when 90 Million people have been out of work for several years?

While I agree the economy is not as rosy as the WH would like you to believe, I have to question the numbers you posted. U.S. population = 330,000,000 +, yet you post that 94,391,000 not in labor force. That's 33% of the total population, that's would be believable if you are including the elderly and children, not so much if it does not include them.

they cook the numbers for elections, another example of rigging.

Well there are a large demographic of us baby boomers that are retiring...

the mining and logging industry is hurting.... my state is hurting from less logging and less paper mills
the construction industry down as well, but we have so many homes that were built in the housing bubble time that are empty
and then the chart shows manufacturing as the worst.

the bottom has really slipped out of the trucking industry
one was able to easily make 60 grand or better back in the late 90s

Commercial masons are starting at 25 bucks an hour, up from 21, 5 years ago..

After 8 years it is almost back to pre-2008 numbers. Not much to crow about.
