Economy adds 194K jobs in September, way below expectations

The U.S. added just 194,000 jobs in September as the economy struggled under the delta surge of COVID-19, according to data released Friday by the Labor Department.
The unemployment rate fell sharply in September to 4.8 percent, a decline of 0.4 percentage points. But employment growth fell sharply for the second consecutive month after a staggering rise in coronavirus cases began in late July. Economists expected the U.S. to add roughly 500,000 jobs last month, just half of July’s employment gain of more than 1 million. LINK

Expect pudding and circle back to parrot this non-stop today.

I’m surprised it’s even positive with this administration, so I take it as a sign that benefits may be running out

The numbers failed the projection by 61%. Ouch.
Under Biden we have:
1. Mass illegal migration
2. Inflation of basic goods
3. The Chinese imposing their will
4. A botched withdrawal from Afghanistan
5. Complete Taliban takeover of Afghanistan
6. Further freedoms overridden by a “Vaccine mandate”
7. Declining jobs
8. Higher gas prices
9. Potential tax hikes on the middle class
10. Record spending
Feel free to add to the list.

They have been missing the mark big time over and over

Stay home and collect them Biden Bucks!

That fricking sucks.
Way off projections, again.

100% by design.
Collapse the system, cause chaos, rebuild 'back better ' with the tyrannical authoritarian socialist utopia.

I objectively cannot think of a single thing that Biden has done to improve the average American's quality of life over Trump. Almost all have been significantly worse.

These counts on CNN just did a whole segment making excuses for Brandon.
“I think we really have a problem with the data, people aren’t working like they used to.”
It’s laughable.

Have they changed the measurement? Pretty sure its #/% filing for unemployment. That doesn't change by how people are working.

I guess they’re accusing people of welfare fraud? It was hard to follow. That was only one of about 10 excuses they made.
