Unemployment down to 3.9%

[Dschrute3]

Boy, rough day for Democrats and their Fake Newsters. How they gonna spin this great news for America? Trump's on a roll. It's gotta sting.


US jobs report: Unemployment falls to 3.9%

Job growth accelerated in April, cutting the nation's jobless rate as U.S. employers added 164,000 jobs compared to the revised 135,000 in March.

While cold weather in March and April probably held back job growth, hiring is moderating as the labor market hits full employment.

The drop of two-tenths of a percentage point in the unemployment rate from 4.1 percent in March pushed it to a level last seen in December 2000.

For the April report, the unemployment rate came in at 3.9%, down from the prior month’s 4.1%, lower than expectations.

More Trump winning, it's warmer today than it was 3 months ago, must be Trump's winning that did it.

I eat more in the winter and help add to greenhouse gases by farting to help raise the temp. But Trump is bigger and eats much more and contributes more greenhouse gas emission from his mouth and ass than I could ever accomplish....

You a real sicko, kid.

[Moonglow]

and now thanks to Trump,,we have more job openings than people looking,,,,McDonalds is so desperate, they may have to hire Monkeys and Goats

He has achieved near to Full Employment for the country. It's amazing.

Can you tell on here where Trump's term began?

Sorry near to or at Full Employment isn't good enough for y'all haters. But it is for rational common sense-thinking folks.

You fucking haters sat there and denied the UE was going down under Oblama. Spectral illusion for rightist hatefags, now everything is utopian during Trump....Like how many pills do you pop a day to get so dreamy?

You mad, kid?

You delusional?

 

[pinqy]

BTW, that 164,000 headline number is a COMPLETE JOKE.

Why?

Because of the creative math the Fed used on the Establishment Survey called the 'Birth/Death Model'. This latest attempt by the government to distort the numbers to make them look better is based on the fact that the BLS does not know how many companies were born and how many died. So they guess. They use some sort of nonsensical mathematical model...but the bottom line is they guess.

And last month...they guessed to the tune of 260 thousand jobs. So that means they guesses that there were 260,000 more jobs created by new businesses then there were jobs lost to dying businesses. And that pathetic guess is added to the number.

CES Net Birth/Death Model

Let me ask liberals on this forum this question:

Had the unemployment rate gone UP to say....6 percent.....would ya'll still be on here saying its a useless measure and that it doesn't indicate anything?

Me thinks not.

I used to accept U3 as an appropriate measure of unemployment

But Republicans have convinced me that it is a made up number by corrupt Deep Staters

The REAL number of unemployed is 172 million or 52 percent.

Don't let pinqy see this...he will freak.

I, like you, used to accept the U-3 as fact.

But now, like you, I realize that it is a joke. Set up to make the unemployment situation look much better than it really is. Easier to keep the masses quiet that way.

From April 2016 to March 2017, BLS estimated a net gain of 930,000 jobs based on the birth/death model. The actual change, from unemployment insurance tax records, was +1,111,000.
So without the birth/death model, the BLS estimate would have been off by over a million jobs, while with it, it was off by 181,000. I'm not sure why MrRocket thinks that being off by 1.1 million would be better.

CES Benchmark Article

Now, during the recession, some serious problems were discovered with the birth/death model (which was then applied annually) and it way overestimated the number of births. So in 2011, BLS changed the adjustments to a quarterly basis, and the accuracy has improved.

I'm also not sure why MrRocket thinks the intended consumer of the BLS statistics is "the masses," when in fact it is economists and policy makers.

True

172 million are unemployed under Trump

Liberals are so desperate now they're counting babies.

Trump chose to include retirees, the handicapped, stay at home moms, high school students in condemning Obama’s employment numbers

Why not look at ALL unemployed

Unemployed means......NOT employed

172 million are not employed

You don't think there's any difference between not employed because you cannot find a job and not employed because you don't want/need a job or cannot work?

i can still remember how bad things were during the Obama years, it was so bad that the local donkeys and horses turned to prostitution just to feed themselves. I didnt excatly enjoy having to pay $4.00 hr for their services

 

[Care4all]

wage stagnation continues.... normally, wages would rise with low unemployment... but we no longer compete with only our own labor force...labor is world wide now.... and maybe this is why wages are not rising well above the cost of living rate?

'
that may be true for you, but for the rest of America wages are rising, when there are more jobs, employers have to compete for employees and that makes wages go up. What you may be seeing is the result of illegals in the workforce working for less than americans will work for.

no, what I am seeing as example is: if the inflation rate is 2.0% and wages rise by 2.1%, there really is NOT a rise in wages and disposable income.

I feel sorry for you, care4. The rest of us are doing quite well and the economy is booming. Sorry that you missed the boat.

I don't work, and am not retirement age Redfish..... too bad you have to....

Some people at the top, or even higher paying middle class jobs will benefit from the tax cuts, and many of those at the bottom even the lower middle class, will not....

It's not going to be the exact same benefit to all involved, and never would be expected except maybe in a communist country.

but implying these tax cuts have been great for everybody is simply bull crud....

When we all see...that your famous saying of ''the rising tide raises all boats"... helps all, then we can say, it was a success...

Right now we have the government giving people a raise via your tax cut on the expense of your kid's shoulders and backs....

When incomes go up annually at 4% or 5% and inflation is running 2%, then some advance in improving American's lifestyle can happen.... that would be a success, that would make America, Great Again!

The Bureau of Labor Statistics said that manufacturers added 24,000 workers in April, extending the 22,000 gain seen in March. It was the seventh consecutive month with robust growth in hiring in the sector, averaging 26,571 per month over that time frame.

BLS says GOVERNMENT jobs INCREASED by 265,000 in April, from 20,957,000 to 21,222,000. All of a sudden the lying scum Right doesn't care about growing the government.

military jobs are government jobs, idiot.

Active duty Military are NOT counted by the BLS, IDIOT!

Civilian noninstitutional population (Current Population Survey)
Included are persons 16 years of age and older residing in the 50 states and the District of Columbia who do not live in institutions (for example, correctional facilities, long-term care hospitals, and nursing homes) and who are not on active duty in the Armed Forces.

Ok, let me clarify, when military spending is up, civilian jobs are created, good paying blue collar jobs building ships, planes, tanks, armor, uniforms, boots, rations, etc. I should have been clearer in my earlier post. Mea culpa.

But that doesn't change the fact that Obama was CONDEMNED for increasing government workers to bring down his UE numbers, which was actually a typical LIE from the lying scum Right (Obama actually REDUCED the number of government workers from 21,196,000 when he started to 20,803,000 when he left) Now suddenly since Tramp, like Reagan, has INCREASED government workers it is now a good thing. HYPOCRITE!!!!!

You don't think there's any difference between not employed because you cannot find a job and not employed because you don't want/need a job or cannot work?

That is not the point, pingy, of course you are correct, but the point is Tramp and the lying scum Right did NOT accept that difference when Obama was president, so we are simply applying the same standard they used for Obama to Tramp.

JAN. 11, 2017 press conference
TRUMP: There will be a major border tax on these companies that are leaving and getting away with murder. And if our politicians had what it takes, they would have done this years ago. And you’d have millions more workers right now in the United States that are — 96 million really wanting a job and they can’t get. You know that story. The real number — that’s the real number.

 

[Rexx Taylor]

you can tell when the unemployment level is so low just by seeing how many job fairs are popping up. like they are here in Fla. I dont recall any job fairs when Obama was President,,,but I do recall millions of people filing for unemployment throughout the 8 years of hell.

 

[JakeStarkey]

The UE downturn is overwhelmingly an Obama victory, and do give credit to Trump for following Obama's legacy.

you are very correct, a tax cut means nothing to someone who is already paying no taxes. Duh. the tax cuts benefit every working American who is paying taxes and every retired American (like me) whose retirement income is subject to income taxes.

You say you don't work and are not retired, so you must be dependent on someone who is working or you are living on money made by your parents or grand parents. Either way you have no idea what a tax cut means to working blue collar americans.

if a news anchor said that this was the lowest unemployment since the days of slavery,,,can u imagine how the loony left would of reacted?

Good news for America. Lowest since 2000.

160k new jobs. Good news.

Happy Friday!

The Black man is better than an Orange Man. Facts Matter!

Mathematics are difficult for you guys. We know.

Really? Clearly, GOP's are not the ones you want on the job to lower unemployment.

Just Whitey (Orange Turd) claiming the hard work of a Black Man, Calling IT his own hard work.

 

[gipper]

For the first time in decades.The media is exploding with anger as usual. Why? Besides the fact that they hate America, it's because Trump has won again. As we know, according to them the whole world was supposed to fall to depression if Trump won. Instead, the unemployment rate of blacks fell to never before seen lows.

U.S. Jobless Rate Falls Below 4% For First Time Since Late 2000

As such, it's no surprise that the shills are lining up to tell us why this is bad, bad news.

Well, do you know about boom and bust?

You know who loses out big time in the bust periods? 7 million Americans lost their homes in the last bust, while Warren Buffett made something like $10 billion.

Is this a good thing? It's good people have jobs, it would be better if this were a permanent thing, rather than temporary.

The worst is that Trump is taking credit for something that was almost certain to happen no matter who was the president.

True enough...Obama did NOTHING for poor and middle class Americans who lost homes, jobs, and much of their net worth because of the actions of criminals on Wall Street and in the federal government.

He did bail out his buddies in the Big Banks, auto unions, and other Fortune 500 firms.

Yet...he is a man of the people....and recently accepted a $70 million pay check for a book he won't write.

Except Trump aint responsible, Pres. Obama is. Trump still hasn't accomplished anything, other than making billionaires richer. He relies on poor, dumb rubes like yourself to keep these billionaires richer than they've ever been

That what CNN and NBC told ya? They lie. Movin on...

You wouldn't understand the truth if it slapped you across the face. Every educated person knows that Trump supporters are the least educated and most misinformed people in this country, and perhaps in any westernized democracy anywhere in the world.

Movin' on….
