The economy added 228,000 new payroll jobs and unemployment held at 4.1 percent in November, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday.

Forecasters had expected 190,000 new jobs as the Texas and Florida economies continued to recover from the hurricanes that made September the worst jobs month in years.

Under Obama, we would get bad employment numbers, but the unemployment rate would drop and look awesome,

Under Trump, we get good employment numbers, but the unemployment rate holds steady, which is boring and deserves no media coverage,

Yeah, but “Homelessness” ™ . The snowflakes pulled that moth eaten rag out from the back of the closet they’d been hiding it in for the last eight years, and now they’re waving it around like a Frenchman with a white flag.

The Cash for Clunkers and Shovel Ready jobs programs laid the foundation for this recovery. Its unfortunate that the Trump Administration is taking credit for the Genius of Obamas economic policy/s.

Meanwhile, MSNBC.com reports ZILCH about the economy, instead focusing on Russia, Russia, Russia!

Aren’t they adorable...

MSM always slips in, like this morning on the radio, how real wages have not risen. Such a mystery. Corporations are replacing american professionally paid workers with foreigners who are willing to take half the wages. They are doing this at an accelerated pace and this keeps wages stagnant. The companies know this won’t hold up if Trump survives in office.

Sounds great but I dont believe the numbers because they are based on BS phone calls (called the household survey). Is the economy getting better, no doubt, ADP manufacturing numbers up, GDP up, etc...but to continue the charade of of these fabricated numbers has to stop. Trump needs to fix this horsedung.

I remember during last year’s election, the Democrats and the media were constantly saying “those jobs are never coming back”.

All of this is just a residual effect from the Obama presidency!

There, I wrote the headline for MSNBC, CNN, etc

Yet Americans are more concerned about sexual misconduct (according to the Pew poll (74% for sexual harassment, 71% for the economy and jobs)).
