More people working and fewer people on food stamps is a good thing. Median family income up is a good thing. Wages rising is a good thing. All are happening under the Trump administration.

Absent a recession, the number of people working always goes up because of population growth.
SNAP participation is also a function of the general economy. So, why is Trump cutting SNAP?
Average wages are rising because states raised the minimum wage in January, which Trump had nothing to do with.

Why Wages Are Finally Rising, 10 Years After the Recession - The New York Times
"The faster growth at the bottom is probably being fueled in part by recent minimum-wage increases in cities and states across the country."

Meanwhile, Trump is giving $16 billion a year away to farmers hurt by his tariffs.

More bad news for the Democrat-Socialists. EVERYTHING in the economy is looking fantastic as Trump continues to Keep America Great. Things are already good and just keep getting better. Everyday. EVERYDAY!

In the mean time, the Democrat-Socialists continue to lie, deceive, distract, deflect and disdain.

Lowest unemployment in 50 years. Wage rates up 3.1% and rising with a bullet. Trump programs work and are working for ALL AMERICANS.

Watching the Fake News Guys "report" on Trump is like watching a home sports reporter saying that the winless home team is among the best in the country.

Will ANYTHING honest about Trump EVER be reported by the Fake News Guys?

The U.S. economy blew away expectations, adding 266,000 jobs in November, boosted by resolution of the General Motors (GM) strike. The jobs report showed private-sector payrolls grew by 254,000 workers, including roughly 46,000 returning GM employees. Average hourly wage growth came in at 3.1%, also better than expected. The jobless rate matched a 50-year-low 3.5%. After the robust November jobs report, Dow Jones industrial average and broader stock market futures pointed to a strong open, helped by positive China trade news.

Now, is the real number closer to 200,000 than 266,000?

Also, 1/4 Government jobs?

Even if Obama had the bus on the right road, Trump is doing AT LEAST as well as the Big 0.

That argument from the Liberally retarded thinkers is REALLY getting tired!

Additionally, Trump is taking on China (and everyone else) in addressing the trade abuses they've been executing for decades.

"Do the right thing" seems to be the basic tenet of his administration. "Doing the right thing" is such a foreign concept to the Democrat-Socialists, they think it's an impeachable offense.

That explains just about everything...

One month does not a trend make. Note January.

While this month was good, the Year-to-Date was the slowest jobs growth since 2012. In fact, the last three years were rather slow. Manufacturing is contracting. Agriculture is also taking a severe hit, as is shipping. This is after the economic miracles promised from GOP tax-cuts and tariffs, that put around a fifth of the economy effectively in recession.

Exactly! Look at the chart that I just posted. The economic miracle Trump promised isn't happening.
Not only is jobs growth slow but GDP, which Republicans criticized Obama for being "only about 2% annual," is about 2% annual. In fact, forecasts were for lower growth but this jobs number boosted it all the way up to 2%.

GDPNow -
Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta
The GDPNow model estimate for real GDP growth (seasonally adjusted annual rate) in the fourth quarter of 2019 is 2.0 percent on December 6, up from 1.5 percent on December 5. After this morning's release of the employment report by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and this morning's wholesale trade report from the U.S. Census Bureau, the nowcasts of fourth-quarter real personal consumption expenditures growth and fourth-quarter real gross private domestic investment growth decreased from 2.0 percent and -2.8 percent, respectively, to 2.3 percent and -0.8 percent, respectively, and the nowcast of the contribution of net exports to fourth-quarter real GDP growth decreased from 0.40 percentage points to 0.35 percentage points.

Just like with most issues you buy what the media tells you and ignores what the official results tell you. Trump inherited an economy that was declining, 1.6% GDP growth, so let me educate you on what Trump did inherit

Federal Dollars going to the states
GDP Growth 2013 to 2018

2013 16974.9
2014 17521.7 736.8
2015 18129.3 607.6
2016 18707.2 577.8
2017 19485.4 778.2
2018 20494.1 1008.7
2019 21337.9
1.
2016 GDP growth 1.6% annual vs 2.9% 2018 with those terrible tax cuts, 3.2% January thru March 2019

Unemployment Rate 4.7% January 2017 vs. 3.5% today

Employed 152 million January 2017 to 158 million today

U-6 in January 2017 9.3% vs 7.0% today?

Part time for economic reasons, 5.7 million January 2017 vs. 4.4 million today?

African American unemployment 7.7% vs. 5.4% today?

Remember those wonderful Obama years leaving Trump with a 1.6% GDP growth, declining GDP dollars and let's not forget adding 9.3 trillion to the debt with much of that gov't spending in those GDP numbers

Your loyalty to liberalism is not explainable

Why were those same numbers and higher never good under Obama but now they suddenly are?
Click to expand...

The numbers were higher and began a downhill slide when Obama started to put his liberal lid on the economy. You only think this is "suddenly", but it's taken a while for the citizens to realize that Trump is helping the economy, not using it for a social experiment. The economy is booming. My daughter owns a restaurant that was barely squeaking by, and now she is opening a second location, AND a food truck (I think that's a crazy idea, but she is bullish on her chances). Her parking lot is constantly full, and customers have learned to make reservations, something there was no need to do during the Obama malaise.
So what is different between Trump's economy and Barry's?

LOL, great recession recovery? You mean the recession that ended in June 2009 and was called the worst recovery in the history of this nation? What is wrong with people like you with such loyalty to a particular agenda and no understanding of data or results? You actually believe that an economy that couldn't generate 3% GDP growth after the "worst recession since the Great Depression" is a great recovery?

Obama had four straight years of trillion dollar deficits, 2009-2010-2011-2012 and now trillion dollar deficits bother you? Any idea what created the current deficits? Do you know the difference between mandatory and discretionary spending? Any idea what 7 interest rate hikes did to the deficit?

You seem to be very young and very inexperienced so going to educate you on reality. Go to bls.gov, bea.gov, and Treasury.org to get official results and context because context matters. For example when you create part time jobs for economic reasons that skews the employment and unemployment data but really doesn't benefit the economy. There are well over 1 million fewer part time jobs today than there were when Obama left office. African American unemployment is a full 2+% points below what Obama left us with, and the U-6 rate is 2% lower than when the recession began.

In addition Democrats controlled the Congress from January 2007 to January 2011 and Obama was hired to get us back to pre recession levels. Democrats wanted the WH so badly they didn't do the job to prevent the recession and now want to ignore their two years in power and give Obama credit for the numbers he inherited and not what the numbers were when the recession began.
