The big question is: will the NYT continue this fraudulent employment reporting system after Trunp is elected.

After Jan 20, 2017, they’ll suddenly discover all sorts of social and economic pathologies.

Isn’t is amazing how the New York Crimes manages to constantly prove the wisdom of my tagline?
It makes me proud, but sad at the same time.

By the end of Hillary’s term, the unemployed will be so depressed that all of them will have stopped looking for work and unemployment will be at zero percent.

The Christmas season always comes just in time for Obama's jobs numbers. The sad thing is that people get excited now about reports that would have been devastating news in the past.

Anyone that has been paying attention will recognize that for the last several years first quarter and second quarter numbers are lousy, third-quarter is OK, and fourth-quarter is back to lousy. All of which add up to a sub 2% GDP growth.

This has been timed for the election for a long time now. It was to be the thing that boosted Clinton into office. Oops, they didn’t count on having a Republican candidate that actually fights back.

Most of that number was part-time jobs for women. That is a miserable jobs number for men and those wanting full time employment. Obamacare is to blame.

With all these jobs available the 25% increase in Obamacare should be no problem

Of course not. They will make it look even worse. And the best part...they will have all of the corrupt govt. agencies fudging numbers for them.

HEADLINE WILL BE: TRUMP ECONOMY WORST IN 150 YEARS!!

Yes - the chart you posted tells the real story.
So does this:
Unemployment Rate for October 2016 is 23.0%

This means nearly 40 percent of ALL people able to work are not working.

Only if you call 17 year old students and geriatric retirees "able to work".

The chart is correct, but my figure was not. The actual labor participation rate was 62.8%, not 68.6%. My first figure was just for non-disabled persons and not seasonally adjusted.

I have to laugh. If GW Bush Labor Department ever reported less then 250,000 in a month these same “Journalists” were ranting and raving about how we were showing signs of a “slowing economy”.

Getting ready with PT help for Black Friday, which has already started, and CHRISTmas. BOYCOTT anti CHRISTmas stores. If they can’t put up Merry Christmas, skip them.
