They trumpet this but in 3 or 4 weeks when the claims raise higher than in 30 years it won’t get a mention. We’ve seen this cycle for 7 years now.

Yes fun with numbers again. More people binge watching walking dead equals improving job market.

The idea is to hope the spin confuses the middle class who are earning less money to think all is well and put a 3rd term of Obama back in office. Notice with GDP they always give the gross figure but never PER CAPITA? Meaning a 1.2% GDP growth is negative growth per person if the population grows at 2%.

Which also means people aren’t quitting their jobs,looking for new work,so there is no people changing or going into new career fields.

I believe unemployment is quite low but a lot of the working population is overworked and less then happy,with where they are working.

There isn’t truly any a lot of meaningful work out there.
