I’d have to look again, but a few weeks ago I was looking at something else and ran into these numbers.

I don’t think we were anywhere near 15 million new jobs since 2010.

Probably were. However, if a job is added to the created list it never goes off if that job is lost. You'd have to subtract the number of those created jobs that didn't last. I'm betting they never do.

In point of fact, the employment numbers for construction and manufacturing was at 2007 levels according to the Dept of Labor. These are the highest paying jobs available to the less educated. This tells you a lot about why Trump won the working class. A lot of those who obtained jobs in that period were paid a lot less than in construction/manufacturing.

Perhaps. But for every one STEM job created since Y2K, foreign visa workers have taken 1.4 STEM jobs in the USA.

Half of US citizen STEM graduates cannot get hired in their fields.

This particular segment of the unemployed are extremely not likely to be druggies, drunks, or any other category of sub-humans. They've just been targeted for genocide by the liberal Democrats and RINOs.

"I don’t think we were anywhere near 15 million new jobs since 2010."

Don't forget that the US population grows every year, through natural growth, legal immigration and illegal immigration. The job growth rate must match the population growth rate Just to tread water. When the government brags that "150,000 new jobs were added," that is NOT good news. It's losing ground.
