Only 103,000 jobs created last month. Good unemployment number but disappointing jobs creation number.

I for one am not disappointed. With unemployment at the low end of full employment range, there should be plenty of opportunity for the under employed to advance. We should see an increase in output.

Unemployment for Americans will continue to drop as less illegals are taking jobs and welfare reform is enacted.

Put all able bodied Americans back to work and off the taxpayer dime. MAGA

"Weather disruptions played a key role in the weak reading," said Beth Ann Bovino, U.S. chief economist at S&P Global Ratings. "One million jobs were disrupted because of weather in March. Translating that to payrolls means a lot of people weren't counted."

With 3 Nor'easters in a row hitting the east coast and New England, I'm surprised anyone got hired in March in those areas.

I see you trying to make a funny. I do appreciate good effort. So...great effort, Max.

When I coached youth baseball I always had a "Max". Max was never very good at baseball and that's being kind. But, you still had to find something to praise Max about to keep him working hard.

"Way to run all the way through the bag, Max! Great hustle buddy!" under my breath: "Max ran to first again after looking at three straight strikes"

that was a riveting tale, road

whimsical yet relevant, with a lesson for us all




























that lesson being, when 90 posts, road often follows with a comment on 90 rather than on the actual subject of the thread

I would like to know the base salary for all these jobs. It's one thing to report that we're adding jobs to the economy, but if they do not pay living wages are we really moving forward?

Real median personal income is only up like 4.5% since 2001 while real averages are up around 25% (wealth gap???)

So you weren't trying to be funny? If not, you are so boring I can't even get a read on you.

Here's your comment. 4.1% is nice.

do you typically find it funny when one notes something important that turns in a dogshit performance? to each his own, i guess

well then stop trying i guess?

despite my best efforts to not entertain you, and despite your apparent lack of interest in the subject matter, my posts seem to strike you as irresistible. it's starting to weird me out

The question was “part time jobs?”. Your answer tells me most jobs created
were part-time jobs. Any idea on what percentage?
