Of that number, 118,000 were/are part time jobs!

Lots of people got paid to protest the election results... hey, it's jobs, right?!

Their goal is to jigger the number so low Trump can never beat it and it Obama will have handed him an economy that has full employment.

Never to be bested ever again......

Gee, I’ll bet this has nothing to do with seasonal holiday retail hires. Couldn’t possibly be. Nope. Because we NEVER see a jump in employment (especially part-time) in November every year.

They will save these and the market rally stats for the next 8 years to claim day after day that the economy was already in a strong recovery when Trump took over. Ba$tards.

We’ll all have TWO jobs!!! And there still will be ZERO unemployment!!!

It’s the biggest boom in American history!!!

That’s why Hillary won.

“Trump should release the real numbers soon after getting into office.”

ABSOLUTELY.

Day one he needs to clean out the government agency, and I mean clean it out, producing these numbers. The new head of this agency within 30 days needs to revise the unemployment number to reality and have a press conference revealing the TRUE unemployment rate in the US.

Failure to do this will allow the same clowns cooking the books to start publishing an INCREASING unemployment rate. At the midterm elections the news would be: Unemployment rate spikes higher under Trump.

CAN’T be allowed to happen.

The purpose of government is not to lie to its citizens. These lies actually hurt and distort economic activity. Just ask all those people who started green businesses during the 5-6 recovery summers that Obama lied about.

No, the jobs were probably added after Nov 8

This is the latest tactic. CNN the other night was claiming Hussein was leaving Trump a healthy economy and a resurgent labor force, neither of which are true. But after January, the Left will (finally) release honest economic news(which we all know will be bad), to blame Trump..
