The US economy added 379,000 jobs in February, far outpacing expectations amid a sharp drop in coronavirus infections that helped loosen the pandemic’s grip on the labor market.

Hiring accelerated significantly last month after non-farm payrolls added 166,000 jobs in January amid a deadly surge in COVID-19 cases that led many states to impose new lockdown measures, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said Friday.

Last week, weren’t the employment numbers “unexpectedly” low?

They just make stuff up, right?

What are these “added” jobs when the new applications for unemployment claims is running at DOUBLE that number?

I do not understand the arithmetic involved. Perhaps it is similar to the algorithms built into the Smartmatic software used on the Dominion voting machines.

I have a question: Why does a system that has as its primary function, the tabulation of data as a simple addition, have to have convoluted and complex algorithms built into its programming?

Figures do not lie, but liars can figure. Simple statistics can be built into very complex interpolations that have no congruence whatsoever with the reality upon which they were supposed to be based.

Despite the Rat Party’s attempt to destroy the economy and their campaign to badmouth the Trump vaccines during the campaign the Trump economy is starting to recover. However,when the Feels Up/Heels Up economic policies start to kick in it will go back down the toilet.

Well the guy who pumped out my septic says he’s got two openings for driver technicians and can’t find anybody.

You need a CDL (pass drug test) and Hazmat license.
The trucks are even equipped with automatic transmission for ease of operation because nobody can drive stick anymore.

One of the sawmills in buy from in Eastern WA state was telling me they have a hard time getting enough people to work at their plant. Starting pay is about $17/hour with full benefits. They even completely pay your medical insurance.

Keep in mind lumber is at all time highs. They would love to add a second shift but can not hire enough people.

Here in NH they have been advertising for warehouse work at the Walmart warehouse in Raymond, NH. This ware house serves all the stores in New England. It is the largest building in New England(over 25 acres under roof). Starting pay is 19.50-22.50/hr.

Many of the long haul trucking companies can not hire enough drivers. There has been a trucker shortage for several years.
