April jobs report called "weak"; "big miss"

100,000 jobs created last month.......a disgrace

We miss the Great Obama

Of course you do with his failed foreign and domestic policies, disasters in the ME, benghazi, record unemployment, record numbers of welfare, failed ocare, more debt accrued than all the other presidents. Yep, the great O!!

The Great Obama was only a community organizer but still managed over 200,000 jobs a month

Donnie Dealmaker called that “a disgrace”
Where are the jobs?
Fake news.
100,000 jobs seems very real

Crooked Donnie just slashed taxes on the “job creators”
This is what we get
 
The US economy added many fewer jobs than expected in March.
US stock futures fall on trade fears, weak jobs report

A big miss: Dan Alpert on Twitter
Many of the jobs created are crappy (low-wage).

Worse than one month employment data, slowed GDP growth for Q1 also now expected:

If the rest of the year will be anything like Q1, Republicans are going into November with a presidential approval in the low 30s. Trump's many deep character flaws are mostly tolerated on his businessman mystique and if all the big promises add up to mediocre-to-low growth, big deficits and stalled stock market, then many Republicans will not turn out.


Having said that, Q1 has been very finicky in recent economic history, pretty consistently coming in weak.

Just relax the U.S. still added an average of 202,000 jobs last month after a surge of 326,000 in Feb, faster than the average gains in 2017 and 2016. All other indicators point to a healthy jobs market, wages up, inflation fears lowered, historic low unemployment. Don't let the sour grapes left spin it.

You resume is not part of the discussion, also you lie they clearly noted the biggest increase was manufacturing.

Actually, all the indicators that were up in 2017 are now starting to reverse. The financial markets are in the red for 2018, first time jobless claims spiked this month, the GDP looks like it went backwards, and now the jobs created are slowing down.
 
From the report-

Total nonfarm payroll employment edged up by 103,000 in March, following a large
gain in February (+326,000). In March, employment grew in manufacturing, health
care, and mining. (See table B-1.)


In March, the unemployment rate was 4.1 percent for the sixth consecutive month,
and the number of unemployed persons, at 6.6 million, changed little. (See table
A-1.)

Among the major worker groups, the unemployment rates for adult men (3.7 percent),
adult women (3.7 percent), teenagers (13.5 percent), Whites (3.6 percent), Blacks
(6.9 percent), Asians (3.1 percent), and Hispanics (5.1 percent) showed little or
no change in March. (See tables A-1, A-2, and A-3.)

At 1.3 million, the number of long-term unemployed (those jobless for 27 weeks or
more) was little changed in March and accounted for 20.3 percent of the unemployed.
Over the year, the number of long-term unemployed was down by 338,000. (See table
A-12.)

The labor force participation rate, at 62.9 percent, changed little in March, and
the employment-population ratio held at 60.4 percent. (See table A-1.)

The number of persons employed part time for economic reasons (sometimes referred
to as involuntary part-time workers) was little changed at 5.0 million in March.
These individuals, who would have preferred full-time employment, were working part
time because their hours had been reduced or because they were unable to find full-
time jobs. (See table A-8.)

Suddenly stock market performance is not an indicator? I wonder why the change of heart :rolleyes:

And I don't think you get it - if all Trump can put up is status-quo any ol' community organizer was good for then his goose is cooked. The bargain he sold to his voters is that they tolerate his glaring personal shortcomings because he is such an awesome deal maker and businessman that he will "easily!" unleash on economy big league growth.

The Labor Department revised its estimate of February’s job growth upward, but January’s figure was revised sharply downward. The net result was a loss of 50,000 jobs relative to prior estimates.

O was adding the burger jobs for the dumbest generation. You were cheering wildly with arms flailing and screaming like a banshee. Your savior lost 3.4 million jobs during his first 6 months while trump has added 1.1 million in his first six months. O was a horrid disgrace to this country.
