Bueller?
Bueller?????
Because Obama counted anyone who got paid for 1 hour/week as having a job.

i.e. Illegals standing on the side of the street waiting for day work got counted.

Nope. We have had 100s of 1000s of new middle class jobs announced since Trump was elected.

Under Obama millions of middle class jobs went overseas and were replaced by people sweeping the streets and picking up nails. This after $ 1T in "stimulus" was wasted on nonsense.

Trump has done more for working America in just a few months than Obama did in 8 years. This is why the Democrats no longer hold any national power.

Got any source for this BS besides Trump's tweets? Is counting happening differently now? Looks like yes, source of that as well.

Feeling pretty good so far!

It's a bit early yet but I'm feeling pretty good about our outlook under Trump, especially small business owners. I'm in a group of SBO's and we all agree things are looking smoother and more profitable in the future. Looks like some of the American Dream is returning. I'll give my full review in a couple of years.

I know most of my clients are stock holders, they are very happy and spending like flowing faucets. They are retired and finally relaxing. I'm glad they are, as it's trickling down to me. They get a beautiful remodel on their home and I get pride in my company again. It's a win win.

I'm also noticing the plunge of 40% at our border of illegal crossings since he's been in office. Finally the competition seems fair and I'm not getting outbid by teams of illegals willing to work for nothing.

I'm also getting less repair jobs on things unlicensed contractors have previously screwed up as people are starting to be able to afford a higher quality of work.

Looking forward to less taxes.

I'm pretty happy so far. I don't feel ignored anymore. Let's hope it has staying power!

Dear it's there for anyone to look up.
Who is counted as employed?

People are considered employed if they did any work at all for pay or profit during the survey reference week. This includes all part-time and temporary work, as well as regular full-time, year-round employment. Individuals also are counted as employed if they have a job at which they did not work during the survey week, whether they were paid or not, because they were:

Low paying service jobs surged under Obama. That's not a secret. How good were the 10.9 million jobs under Obama? - Nov. 4, 2016

Good jobs like government/state declined under Obama. But hey, growth is growth as he use to say.

Why did you cut this part of my quote?

"In the meantime, let's talk about how reporting these numbers has changed in the seven weeks that 45 has been in office so as to make them soooo much more believable than they were when Obama was president."

When did 45's administration CHANGE how the numbers are collected and reported?

Specifics please.

And they will decline even more under 45.

But for some reason his supporters now applaud these impending losses.

Why is that?
