(CNSNews.com) - The number of people employed in the United States hit a record 157,288,000 in July, according to the employment report released today by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
That was up 283,000 from the 157,005,000 employed in June.
The unemployment rate held steady in July at 3.7 percent, the same as it was in June.
According to the employment report, the civilian noninstitutional population in the United States was 259,225,000 in July. That included all people 16 and older who did not live in an institution (such as a prison, nursing home or long-term care hospital). Of that civilian noninstutional population, 163,351,000 were in the labor force, meaning that they either had a job or were actively seeking one during the last month. That equaled a labor force participation rate of 63.0 percent--an increase from 62.9 percent in June.
Of the 163,351,000 who were in the labor force, 6,063,000 were unemployed, equaling an unemployment rate of 3.7 percent.
The other 157,288,000 did have jobs, yielding last month’s record number of people employed.
Never saw numbers like that with Hussein in our White House.
Q. Are things better?
A. A resounding YES!
Do I believe the government numbers? NO!
We may have gotten President Trump elected, but the BLS still has the same slugs putting out today’s numbers that put out the numbers for Zer0.....and NOBODY at FR believed them.
All Trump’s fault
Also consider that many of the so called unemployed work for cash, work for family, or are other wise “employed”.
That’s ok. The numbers are compared with the numbers from China.
Just saying.
“Well, how exactly are you going to do that (bring jobs back)? What exactly are you going to do? There’s no answer to it. He just says, 'Well, I’m going to negotiate a better deal.' Well, what, how exactly are you going to negotiate that? What magic wand do you have? And usually the answer is, he doesn’t have an answer.”"Huh? Wass he gonna do? Huh?"
Fine and dandy. Very happy with what PDJT has accomplished for our economy!
But I’m STILL not going back to work! 41 years of steady employment was enough, Thanks! :)
Nice! Says it all.
Piker

Last week the Urban League held a protest in Indianapolis demanding jobs for “young men” in the inter-city. or course these young men have made zero effort to find a job.
