February Jobs

Only 20,000 new jobs added!
Terrible!
180,000+ were expected.

Do we demand a recount?


Unemployment down to 3.2%

Employers, apparently, are running out of the 'right-for-them' workers to hire.

We're close to full employment (imagine!), so what's left...those 'unwilling' to work?

Flukey number...

March is the "longest" month of the year; if its sub 120ish it should be a little cause for concern but on its own definitely an outlier.

Drumph didn't tweet anything about the job numbers this month, go figure.
The Dow should go below 25,000 sometime next week.
But don't you worry, Hair Furor will triumphantly tweet about the Dow breaking the 25,000 barrier (for the fifth time) if and when it eventually does.

I am guessing most of our available hires were in Canada, shoveling snow the last month.

Rather Donald's brown skin undocumented golf club hies not coming forward afraid of being counted (officially) and in fear fear of ICE. And being separated from their kids.

Who could blame them?

Aside from your racist remarks, ICE doesn't go after people because of their color, only their legal status. They do not stereotype as you apparently are OK with doing.

Try to kick up the quality of your hate-speech posts.

Restaurants ("food services and drinking places" in BLS jargon) accounted for 27k out of the 196k jobs created. Healthcare and professional/technical services led the jobs gains, with increases of 49k and 34k, respectively.
