All metrics are pointing in the correct direction.

But they aren't. We increased the trade deficit and the job numbers were in fact weak. You can pretend that these things aren't true as much as you want.

And he's unemployment is still at acceptable levels. If we have a repeat of 25 job numbers for several years things could get bad.

I'm not sure why you want to stick your head in the sand and it appears you don't either. But maybe you should ask yourself some deeper questions.

The problem is that the prospects are not very good for the unemployed

There are fewer available jobs than there are job seekers.

I'm grateful that I have a good paying job right now. I do not envy someone that is looking for a job. It's not a great job market.

No, you don't want to acknowledge the relevance.

There's a big difference.

Deporting illegals caused no job growth last year and significant job growth last month?

No. It has been well known for months that the number of job seekers out numbers the number of job openings.

You can find articles that go back to last September highlighting this fact

Or you can just live in whatever fictional world you choose to live in

As someone that is in the business of building AI data centers, I can tell you there is a pretty big labor shortage in that market. Particularly qualified electricians.

Most companies are in fact good at hiring people who are here legally in that field.
