October's jobs report shows +128k, which is about 30k more than consensus forecast. Add in the missing 50k GM workers on strike, and that's a pretty robust pace of job growth.

Unemployment remains strikingly low at 3.6%.

HUGE revisions, added +51k to August and +44k to Sept.


Wage growth also above 3%

Funny how Obama's numbers were always quietly revised down months later after great headlines while Trumps numbers are always quietly revised up later after mediocre headlines.

It's almost like our financial system is made up of devious, lying rats who have an agenda

This is one of many reasons they remain desperate to impeach... They simply cannot have a POTUS that proves every single Dem policy, objective, and initiative has pretty much been an utter failure and sham...

This is directly related to that effort. They know they can't beat Trump. There are no negatives to his presidency, so they have to fabricate them.

This comment is highly underrated.

The systemic bias within the administrative state is really really bad for the country. This government is full of enemies from within.

Dow seems to like it. Up 158 in the first hour of trading.

Not here it's not.

Outside this board and other Trumpkin circlejerks, it'd probably be appropriately rated as "laughably unsupported", at very best.

"Laughably false", if you insist on the "always" part.

The hilarious part about this comment in light of the unambiguous good news of two months being revised upwards (final revisions still pending), is that we know there is a negative rebenchmarking for the year to the tune of an estimated -500K coming in March.

That news might have even made to this board, but it probably didn't get much play here.

Regardless, upward revisions for prior months is good news period. Job growth slowing less than expected is also!

The wage numbers, not as good, and short of expectations. Still fine though.

And the fact that goods-producing jobs shrunk, manufacturing in particular. Not great, but it's cool as service jobs are carrying us, as usual.

unemployment went up by 1/10th of a point but we created more jobs. how's that possible? or, do they not calculate the jobs that were lost and only the jobs that were gained?
