Job growth still strong with 429,000 new jobs created.

[HandleTheTruth]

Yes, following the trend in job growth that Trump inherited...

​

Longest job growth spurt in the history of the united state.

Got love this.

"Jobs created" is such a ridiculous statistic, both sides use it to show how great they are, all it shows is how ignorant people are.

 

[Hossfly]

How do you figure 10 million short?

Counted 'em on my fingers.

 

[jotathought]

Yes that is a global issue all around the world. If it's was only in America I would say Biden policies did that. But it's not it's a world wide thing including oil prices.

Ahhh .. So the war in Ukraine with limited interactions and crushing sanctions from Biden had nothing to do with oil prices? How about his policies and outlook on fossil fuels? Nothing to do with it? How about the illegal immigration issue which has surged under Biden? COVID deaths far outnumber those under the Trump administration? and good old inflation -- caused by flooding the market with money (e.g. stimulus and extended unemployment) and now Biden wants to forgive student debt -- adding additional flow of cash to the economy.

Yeah .. sure glad Biden didn't do any of that ..

Ah, so you mean 10, not 10 million. Figures.

Agree .. It's not necessarily "new jobs," it's filling existing jobs where resources were needed. Not in all instances, but in many.

Damned hard to take a family vacation with 5.00 gas and jet fuel at all time highs.

Everything costs more today than the day Joe took office.

And that usually follow recession and the government is not in control of supply chain problems and labor shortages.

The jobs that went away and are now being recreated.

U.S. weekly jobless claims rise; productivity plunges at fastest pace in 74 years

New claims for U.S. unemployment benefits increased to a more than two-month high last week, but remained at a level consistent with tightening labor market conditions and further wage gains that could keep inflation hot for a while.

They got to train new employees for the new created jobs. So productive is going to lag.

 

[HandleTheTruth]

I'm sure the tapering down of COVID had nothing to do with it.

Last summer covid was at this level If I remember correctly. And sure covid cases and deaths are down. Thank God.

Trump dropped unemployment by 1.6%.

Joe Biden had to drop it by at least five percent.

Also a "new job" could be some dude at Walmart dies, and someone replaces him. Or some dude at Walmart gets fired, goes to McDonalds where some dude has been fired, the McDonalds dude goes to Walmart. Two new jobs "created"

Could be. Or it could be that a new position was created in management and a employee got a promotion and they need to hire a new person to replace them.

I miss John Doe 101....Don't you?

 

[easyt65]

Well Biden already created more jobs than any president in history.

But that still isn't good enough for republicans.

Biden didn't create shit. He and COVID put a record number out of work, & people are just starting to return to work.

 

[easyt65]

Covid deaths are down because it's summer I'm assuming. We will see if it comes back again the fall and winter. It's been a trend.

...like the flu.

What are you talking about??

The unemployment rate increased 36% under Trump.

It has decreased 44% under Biden so far.

 

[frigidweirdo]

Yep, it could be that too. Problem is, we don't know what it is because the statistic doesn't say.

So, what's the point of a pointless statistic?

"Claims at 200,000 are viewed as consistent with strong demand for workers. They have declined from a record high of 6.137 million in early April 2020."

hardly a buzkill

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

And the covid deaths spiked. But it's good the economy is creating jobs like crazy.

Millions and millions of new jobs.

Sure thing Jake...
