Only 136,000 jobs added....... (unemployment rate, wage, Obama, economy)

Month after month with these anemic numbers, and wage growth also slowed. Not good.

We are essentially at FULL EMPLOYMENT with a 3.7% unemployment rate.

Isn't it amazing that we keep having to explain this fact to the NPC's, each and every month?

Not much to add when unemployment is already so low.

There's a reason Finn didn't include a link... the unemployment rate dropped to 3.5%

Shrinking work force as boomers age out, mostly. The denominator is getting smaller. Not that that is bad. It does mean we are going to need more births (or more likely more immigration) if we want to keep the economy going.

And what's the LFPR again? I remember Conservatives loved bringing up that number when Obama was in office... I

136,000 jobs is better than no jobs. Everything hits plateaus, jobs losing weight, weight lifting you will never see huge gains all the time.

Thanks. I didn't see that it had dropped to 3.5%. Yeah, he just wants to exercise his demented Trump Derangement Syndrome. Ho hum.
