(CNSNews.com) - The economy is the second most important issue for registered voters as the midterm election nears, a new Gallup Poll says. And there was very good economic news on Friday, as the Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics rolled out the October employment report -- the final one before next week's midterm election.
The number of employed Americans has never been higher. The 156,562,000 Americans employed in October is the twefth record set under President Donald Trump.
In October, the number of employed men age 20 and up -- 80,405,000 -- set the 12th record since Trump took office; and likewise, for the 12th time, the number of employed women age 20 and up set a record, reaching 70,909,000 in October.

Seems like a lot of good numbers, even if unemployment were slightly higher. Non-labor force numbers dropped as well.
 
We knew that was coming, might as well get it out of the way.

:lamo

I had a stop watch going...you made me lose a bet. I figured it would take you longer to respond.

Happy Friday, ya grump.
 
Obama: recovery from the worst recession since the Great Depression ---> HE'S THE WURST

Trump: elected in an already-great economy, which continues on the same trajectory it had been on for several years --> PRAISE THE ORANGE GOD!

:roll:


The rate of improvement actually slowed a bit under Trump, so what's the argument that something he did is responsible for the overall numbers? I never see an argument.

Tongue in cheek or not, it's a valid point....

Agreed...the tongue in cheek bit speaks to the audience, not the point. ;) I probably would have been less tongue in cheek, but it's Friday, and I'm bored of getting into hateful brawls at the moment...haha

how is a 1.5% gpd growth per year a good thing?
this was long after the so called recession. obama had one of the poorest post recession recoveries.

LOL no the economy wasn't that great. the GDP growth was at 1.5% that is anemic.
by the end of 2017 it jumped to 2.4% now it is project to hit 3%.

a lot has to do with Trumps economic policies and plans and things he has implemented that makes it
easier for businesses to operate.

Not a trap, trying to understand: Specifically what economic policies put forth by Trump has driven this change and how?
 
Thanks, Obama!!


:lol:

Yes, you are right, to a degree.

BO did his part by getting the sam hell out of Washington. The best thing he ever did for the nation and the economy.

Happy Friday, Yankee.

That's what leftist call good. Didn't you know that? :)

I mean, all that success is unacceptable to leftists.

Cut in capital gains tax, massive reduction in asinine regulations.

my only question about rapid growth is that rapid growth can't continue. the economy works on the
basis of diminishing returns.

at some point the economy will shrink a bit and a recession will occur which is normal.
economic corrections are needed. the point is riding out the wave.

Exactly.

You know how good the numbers were under Obama? They were so ****ing good that conservatives had to call them the "fake unemployment numbers". They had to call them fake in order to say the economy was bad.

Thanks, Grok...that was actually a pretty chill response for you...I find myself nervously waiting for the other shoe to drop...hehe... ;) I'll educate myself on this from the conservative perspective.

Happy Friday.
 
Thanks, Obama!!


:lol:

Right. 1.5% GDP and NO WAGE GROWTH....the "New Normal" under Obama....doesn't HOLD A CANDLE TO THIS...

Tax cuts, regulation cuts, remember when Obama said "Those jobs aren't coming back"? They came back...
