Wait a minute! 0bama assured us that jobs would not be coming back to America.

You mean...he was wrong? Who’da thunk it?

Some other highlights:

• Manufacturing (+36K): Up on auto (+12K) rebound after fire led to factory shutdowns
• Retail (-21K): Falls on weak Food (-9K) and weak Merchandise (-18K). Merchandise stores is Toys-R-Us bankruptcy layoffs
• Professional Services (+50K): Strong on the back of white collar technical workers (+25K). relatively weak Temp workers (+9K) suggests some weakness: either lack of supply (insufficient qualified workers at level of pay) or demand (employer demand is softer than surveys relate)
• Healthcare (+35K): Higher payrolls create more demand for healthcare

My first instinct is to ask about the Labor Force Participation Rate, but seeing how they include the ages 18 to 65 in this stat, I am beginning to question even this as a measure of the overall health of the job market. A huge chunk of those between age 18 to 22 are still in school and large number of those above 62 ( the eligible age to get social security ), are already retired.

From 2006 to 2016, the U.S. civilian labor force participation rate has hovered in the 62 to 67 range, with a fairly consistent decrease in the participation rate since 2009.

When the unemployment rate was falling under President Obama, Republicans kept harping on the Labor force Participation Rate to indicate how deceptive that measure is. well, what’s good for the goose should be good for the gander.

I’d like to know what this measure is at this point in time under Trump.

In 2016 US employment was 126 million. Increasing employment by 20 million people in two years is quite a feat.

In retrospect it was not rocket science for this to happen.

Getting rid of a Communist President Obama, getting rid of job killing regulations, and cutting income taxes create good jobs. The people innately knew that voting for Trump would put an end to Socialist job killing practices.

This is good news but let's not kid ourselves. We have a long way to go to get back to a point where everyone is working. Way too many people have given up or, worse yet, decided that it is OK to live off of government handouts for the rest of their lives. Trump needs to make it a Hell of a lot harder to get and stay on SSI disability, food stamps, Welfare, etc.

Consider the following. Those who got jobs no longer need government support. Thus, the amount of government support needed for those not working is reduced accordingly. But that is a cut in government support for the needy!

ANOTHER TRUMP ADMINISTRATION FAILURE! SLASHING SUPPORT FOR THE NEEDY!
