The imaginary recession is over. The number of Americans working rose to 158,593,000 a record high. That is the sixth consecutive record high for this metric. Jobs growth soars in November as new jobs surge by 266,000 Average hourly earnings rose by 3.1% from a year ago, slightly above the 3% expected by economists polled by Dow Jones. “Bottom line, America is working,” Larry Kudlow, director of the National Economic Council, told CNBC’s “Squawk on the Street.” “These are very strong numbers. These are happy numbers, these are sunny Friday numbers.” https://www.cnbc.com/2019/12/06/us-n...mber-2019.html https://www.breitbart.com/economy/20...s-in-november/ https://www.dailywire.com/news/jobs-...an-impeachment Great news for Donald and disastrous news for the Democrats who are losing public support for their impeachment thing day by day. |

False positive I’m afraid, more jobs are being taken because more people are having to work multiple jobs because of the cuts that are decimating the working class

The WSJ is significantly right-of-centre and is plainly not for employers, it's for traders, who will be happy if the news is good for trading purposes. And the actual accuracy of the news actually matters very little for that. A positive report on employment is good for market confidence which is good for Wall Street.

I'm not saying it's bad news or even fake news by the way, employment may well be up but I'd take the figures with a huge dose of salt... looks like stats propaganda to me. Neither hourly earnings (meaningless without knowing if there have been hours decreases) or number in employment (again, useless if we don't know if it's meaningful employment or 5 hours a week) are good measures of the employment situation in a country.
I'd want to see stats on the number in full-time employment and if there's been an increase in average household income, personally. Last edited by Toy Soldier; 06-12-2019 at 04:58 PM. |

Without the horror show that is the Radical Left,
Do Nothing Democrats, the Stock Markets and Economy would be even better, if that is possible, and the Border would be closed to the evil of Drugs, Gangs and all other problems! #2020 Donald has been tweeting |

Yes because gangs and drugs don't ever come from within America in the first place.

if you are forced in to employment for $1 a week, it doesn't mean a lot. One needs to see all the relevant data

A low rate of unemployment means little when a huge number of working class families in the US are on the poverty line or below it despite working full time.
It's like when the Tories bragged about unemployment rates during the rise of zero hour contracts, it doesn't matter if you are employed if your job cannot support you. Figures like this are only meant to placate the gullible and the ignorant. |

Given that anything that helps the poor is shut down as 'EVIL SOCIALISM!' by the republicans, I think the crawl towards liveable nationwide wages will be a slow one. I don't think a wage boost in the future will do much to comfort families that are struggling now. |

Some people refuse to see the truth when it stares them in the face because they prefer the lie.
