The Department of Labor's monthly report showed that the economy added 245,000 jobs in November, when projections hoped that 440,000 jobs would be added. The unemployment rate decreased to 6.7 percent as COVID cases begin to spike again.

#JobsReport: Job creation slowed in Nov, well below expectations. Payroll jobs in private sector were ??344,000.

Unrate is ??8 % pts from April high but 3.2 % pts higher than Feb. Unemployed, at 10.7M, trends down in Nov but is 4.9M higher than Feb.@WSJ graphics below. https://t.co/rKvdW12HoA pic.twitter.com/CNt10laX8X— Vance Ginn (@VanceGinn) December 4, 2020

As the coronavirus continues to affect the economy, Senate Republicans shined a light on the need for additional stimulus relief, which Democrats continue to block. Additional funding for the Coronavirus, Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act and Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), which were passed by Senate Republicans in the spring, would deliver even more relief to American families and small businesses. 



Today’s jobs report makes it plainly clear:

1. Republican policies are key to the Great American Comeback.

2. Pelosi + Schumer must stop the all-or-nothing obstruction. Congress must pass targeted COVID relief for families across America.

We have no time to waste. https://t.co/irbFJeSk0r— Senate Republicans (@SenateGOP) December 4, 2020

With Speaker Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer continually stalling COVID relief negotiations, the passage of additional funding before the end of the year is unlikely.

It’s going to be great when they tear down the wall and give those jobs to illegals.

I wonder how those Biden voters are going to feel when they figure out that they can’t find a job for $15/hr, the Biden mandated minimum wage, and what jobs are available are being filled by illegals who gladly take less that $15/hr.

A USA Today piece I read had the same headline with, ‘WHILE COVID-19 RAGES ACROSS COUNTRY!’ tacked on.

*Rolleyes*

Our economy has been ‘recovering’ from this Socialist Democrat FARCE for well before the election.

No WAY President Trump lost. None.

The RATE of unemployment or the % of working force unemployed is far more important than is the number of new jobs.

It is quite easy for the “haters” to make an unrealistic or uninformed guess at the number of new jobs they expect to see created and than turn any lesser # into a Trump negative.

The Lefts game plan is old, worn and very obvious.

The Obama/Biden Democrat Party curse on the middle class is now showing in the unemployment numbers. This is only the beginning. Americans, all of you, if you voted for Democrats...you just screwed yourselves, royally!!! The dark days of the middle class have returned to America. Your days of suffering have returned and to boot, this time they will destroy the American Republic and your freedoms & opportunities with it!!! How dumb can you be?

“How dumb can you be?”

Dumb beyond my comprehension. They’ve been indoctrinated, and spend their time with their thumb up their butt while they watch cat videos on tik toc.

You can’t save a country from itself.
