Spicy gave Trump credit for the Feb number, let's not forget.

Job gains are a good thing no matter which "side" anybody is on. Mocking the numbers demonstrates a real lack of give-a-sh1t about the overall health of our nation in favor of making a stupid point on the internet.

This forum is full of people who would cut off their nose to spite their face as long as it resulted in being right about something.

These numbers must be Fake News. After all our Dear Leader just proclaimed yesterday that jobs are coming back at numbers no one thought even possible.

"bringing jobs, plants, and factories back into the United States at numbers which no one until this point thought even possible. And believe me, we’ve just begun. The fruits of our labor will be seen very shortly even more so."

U.S. unemployment hits lowest level since 2001
Americans are earning more as well as wages continued to pick up
Coal mines added 400 jobs in May. Manufacturing lost 1,000 jobs and construction gained 11,000 new employees. Health care and business services led the way in May, adding 24,000 and 38,000 jobs respectively.


Just horrible!
There is just now way around it. Its a weak report and below the trend of the last several years.

The last 3 months have all been below the avg for the last 12 months. In fact the last 3 months have all been below the monthly average of the last 12 months. Its still preliminary but if any trend is forming during Trump's presidency it is slower job growth.

Total nonfarm payroll employment increased by 138,000 in May, compared with an average monthly gain of 181,000 over the prior 12 months.
