According to the BLS, in May the number of full time jobs declined to 129,695K, a drop of 83K for the month and the third consecutive decline. In fact, for the first 5 months of 2019, a total of 218K full-time jobs have been lost, with May's number the lowest since October's 129,225K.

Meanwhile, "offsetting" this decline in high-paying, full-time jobs is the increase in part-time jobs, which in May rose by 66K to 26,981K, which brings the total to the highest level since December.

This is NOT a problem.

It simply reflects the mismatch between worker skills and job openings, in a low unemployment environment.

I do not trust the democrat, government institution called, Bureau of Labor Statistics...not one person there likely voted for Trump.

Government, retail and information industries lost 27,000 jobs last month, otherwise, the job generation figures would’ve been 100K+

We’re going to see ebbs and flows with job creation. Next month will probably be a much rosier picture.

The driveby’s are ecstatically reporting this.

Like Hitler when he found out FDR died. FALSE HOPE, fools.

At 9:48 CDT, the Dow is up 311 points. Apparently, investors are not bothered by this jobs report.

[Harpotoo]

Do the too few jobs report consider that we have almost if not full employment at this time? Who can be disappointed with that?

[know.your.why]

If true, good news IMHO.

I am just waiting for the “unexpected” revised upward numbers.

[DownForDCount]

It’s dropping because employers are still trying to get people to take the worst jobs for Obama-era pay and benefits, and people aren’t biting.

I see no shortage of raises in pay for management, funnily enough...
