Biden unfazed by modest jobs report and signs of a hiring slowdown [economy slowing?]
Washington Times ^

Posted on 08/04/2023 6:51:29 PM PDT by GulliverSwift

President Biden said Friday that the economy is continuing to grow despite Labor Department data released earlier in the day showing weaker-than-expected growth in the employment market.

“Unemployment near a record low and the share of working-age Americans who have jobs at a 20-year high: that’s Bidenomics,” the president said in a statement.

The report also found that unemployment dipped slightly to 3.5% last month from 3.6% in June and average hourly wages grew 4.4%, slower than last year.

Mr. Biden‘s positive rhetoric on the economy followed the release of a relatively modest July jobs report, which showed that U.S. employers added 187,000 jobs last month. The number fell short of the 200,000 jobs that were expected to be added. It also remained static from June, when 185,000 jobs were added.

Republicans were quick to contradict Mr. Biden, who is vacationing at his beach house in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.

“Bidenomics is simple: you pay more to get less. Families and small businesses, who are already failing to keep up with sky-high prices and falling real wages, are left to foot the bill as Biden bounces from vacation to vacation avoiding any accountability or responsibility for his failed economy,” said Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel.

“Biden is unfazed by anything except his BM’s.”

Exactly. Biden has no clue as to what is going on.

I guess all that’s left is to ask voters whether they feel better off now than they did under the previous administration.

Joe thinks he is doing a great job.
Hell, there are so many jobs now that lots of people have two.

Joe doesn’t care

He’s continuing the Manchurian Candidate’s work of the ongoing destruction of America
