This is probably not accurate. I suspect they’re fiddling with the statistics.
The liberal press will still be employed! Bad news.
Are we back to real numbers or still using Obamanomics?
They are assuming our do-nothing congress will follow Trump’s agenda
The participation rate is still pretty low. Many on here ignored the unemployment numbers under Obama but now crow about the number.
The unemployment rate is not dropping due to expansion. It’s dropping due to demographics.
In 1978 if we had unemployment this low the economy would be running at nearly double digits.
Don’t be fooled; the unemployment paradigm has shifted dramatically.
Liberals are already giving Obama credit for the stock market increasing value, falling unemployment, and improving economic conditions.
Now if only the size of the government would collapse to 1960s levels, then we’d really have something. Leftism would be rolled back just by slashing government and tax “reform”would be real, not just tinkering with who gets screwed.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Ain't nobody gots time for dat work sh*t. Gots to get me a new weave.
Federal government RIF’s will retard the rate of unemployment decline
Not tired of winning yet - but I understand the concept now...
Silly to compare modern unemployment numbers with the past. Twenty years ago, if you lost your job you looked in want ads, typed up a resume and mailed it with cover letters to prospective employers. The 4% “frictional unemployment” metric reflected those inefficiencies. Now those mechanics are replaced with instant, electronic, alternatives. Perhaps the modern number is 3%, or 2%.
And the media will not attribute it to Trump.
Buy stock and get rick next year.
And that’s silly, in that while things have improved, the economy has not absorbed the millions dropped off the records as long-term unemployed.
That’s going to take a while.
