That's a big "unless" considering the news of the last few days.
 
Another set of bad numbers... has to be 250-300k if we are to follow the GOP mantra under Obama.

My guess is that he will lose in the Republican primary in 2020. Only way he wins is if dems smartly vote for him to help their candidate in Nov 2020.

On the surface this looks great but when I have time I will get the numbers inside those numbers but for the present, thank you Obama for giving us Trump and over a million new taxpayers in just 6 months in office

HAHAHAHA!!!!

No, thank you Obama for these economic numbers. Trump has not passed a single solitary piece of legislation that would have any significant impact on the economy, and even if he had it would take a lot longer than 6 months for us to see the effects of it. These numbers mirror the numbers that we've been seeing consistently under Obama for the last 80 consecutive months. The economy has no where to go but down at this point, and when it does Trump is going to own it.

Full time employees went down, Part time went up. Marginally attached went up, Discouraged went up, the U-1, U-4, and U-5 all increased. Part time for economic reasons went down.

I think those are all the factors you like to look at.
 
Always look beyond the headlines.

This is not a bad report...but it ain't nothing great either.

Looking at the household data...393,000 new part time 'jobs'...yet 54,000 LESS full time 'jobs'.

Look at the numbers since March?

302,000 new 'jobs' part time.
66,000 LESS 'jobs' full time.

This is just more of the same in the McDonald's/Mercedes recovery...the Fed 'artificially' pumps up the DOW (making more millionaires) while the rest of the economy grows thanks to lots of crappy jobs.

More rich, more poor, less middle class and an ever-increasing wealth gap...along with dropping home ownership rates and mediocre GDP growth.

This is America post-housing boom.

Lots of cheap money...most of it going to the wealthy.

Are you aware this is nothing more than a continuation of a trend that began nearly 7 years ago?

When Obama does it, it is not enough but then Trump does it and it is the second coming of Christ. Being able to continue a trend does not change the fact Trump is an incompetent leader and has abysmal approval.
 
FAKE NEWS!!!

Oh, wait. Trump is President. Never mind. :mrgreen:

The job numbers look OK, though economic numbers are still a bit mixed, and in particular wages are still flat. I have a feeling that the people who felt unsure about the economy 6 months ago haven't seen much actual improvement yet.

Except Trump didn't do it. He is still riding on Obama's coat tails.
 
Can anyone cite a single specific action by Trump and how man specific jobs that has resulted in and why?

You are so right and I rightfully thanked Obama for giving us Trump for you see, businesses today aren't scared of Trump's economic policies and know they will not be punished for their successes in the Obama class warfare battle. 80 months consecutive months of job creation gave us a GOP Congress and GOP WH. thank you Obama

As stated yes I will look at those factors and drill down on the numbers, my bet is the left isn't going to like the results. Since when was part time for economic reasons and discouraged workers a problem for the left?

As stated I will post the numbers now that I am home but my question remains, why do you care how much money the rich earn or pay in taxes? Looks to me like in the 6 months Trump has been in office over a million new taxpayers were created which explains why the debt is down

Oh, exactly right, no question about it, businesses operating without fear of punishment by the Administration through more regulations and taxes. Thank you Obama for giving us Trump

What is obvious is you have no understanding of leadership or the responsibilities of leadership. Thank you Obama for giving us Trump

Yep, EO's that reversed Obama's business killing EO's but you are too focused on the Russian issue to pay any attention. Businesses today know they will not be punished for success so thank you Obama for giving us Trump
