April Unemployment comes in at 3.6%, wages have grown over 3% over the previous 12 months while inflation was held below 2%.

But, but, but Obama and the libs told us jobs were never coming back.

I guess the question now is were they lying or are they just stupid. I will hazard a guess of both.

The unemployment rate also dropped 0.2 percentage points to 3.6 percent, the lowest jobless rate since 1969, driven in part by a 0.2 percent decline in the the labor force participation rate to 62.8 percent.


Remember when this board would downplay the job reports under Obama by concentrating on the labor force participation rate?

You have to understand that while YOU see this as a positive, leftists see this as a negative. It's almost like threatening their very existence.

We have the best numbers don't we folks.


On a side note, ever notice how Trump always says, "I looked at the numbers." "Did you see the numbers?" He is always making reference to numbers.

Why does he make reference to "numbers" at such a high frequency? Much more so than previous presidents. Well the answer is easy. He is a real business man. Businessmen read numbers, interpret numbers and act on numbers.

Just thought I'd mention that observation.

I was born in February 1969. Since it's my birth year it's why my Saints jersey has the number "69" on it... as far as anyone knows

I remember a computer program in economics class where you chose different monetary and tax policies to try and create a balance between growth, jobs, and inflation.

No combination of anything yielded results like we have seen. I’m not sure how Trump does it, but he must be a very stable genius

This is the difference between a business genius and a community organizer:
