Honestly, did you ever think you would see a 3.5% unemployment rate?

Since they've changed how it's measured I wonder what it would be if counted as it was during the 1980s.

I think it will stay below 3% if Trump keeps it up.

You all are fools if you think the unemployment rate being this low automatically equates to high paying jobs. Having a job and having a job with a living wage is entirely two different things. We need to stop paying attention to the raw employment rate. People working two or three jobs to survive skews that number greatly. Rumor has it there is a statistic on jobs that pay a liveable wage. That is the number that we need to see. And since some insist healthcare should only be provided via employment we need to see how many jobs provide real health benefits. The very recognizable corporations providing healthcare with a $6,000 deductible do not count on that score.

This is one of the reasons the liberals are in such a snit. They don't have any excuse to freeload off of people and it's pissing them off royally.

They can't run against his job performance.

They can't beat him regarding policies and issues.

Hence, the perpetual bullshite that keeps NPC idiots like bmy and big scrub energized and hoping for a miracle.

It's sad, really.

Here are the latest state by state statistics. That bunch of slackers in the bottom ten are dragging the average down. Then there is Vermont at 2.1% N.Dakota at 2.4% and Iowa and New Hampshire at 2.5%.

3 years ago the BLS statistics were fake numbers according to the right wingers.


Never thought I would see it happen. Hats off to Trump.
