Things are going great guns.

Why do corporations need tax cuts?

You can download the spreadsheet and calculate the numbers yourself if you don't believe me.

That average includes September where, because of the hurricanes, 38,000 jobs were created. And SURELY, the left doesn't want Trump to get "credit" for the first three months - a time when they repeatedly pointed out that it was still Obama's ballgame.

Too early to tell much, other that The Left is using sharper pencils than they used to. It won't really count until someone with a crayon can see the difference.

JOBS and MANUFACTURING EXPLOSION
And you post this the same say they publish another disappointing jobs report....

As for the 2017 as whole, we are seeing the lowest monthly job gains in 7 years. How is this supposed to be good news?

I like I like. Most important statistics is wages and workforce participation at this point in the recovery. We've recovered our jobs since the recession but many are low wage service jobs that really don't grow the economy. Let's see if trump can keep bringing back higher paying manufacturing jobs and if tax cuts will really boost everyone's wages. If so then we are golden

Manufacturing jobs have been rising since around 2010. The LFPR rate is unchanged from 2013. Although wages have started to move up a while ago, they are still basically stagnate.

There are always bounce-backs in the jobs created in the 1-2 months after hurricane-induced job losses, so that over the course of about 3 months the average is the same it would have been had there been no hurricanes. Now having October's and November's jobs data, we now those 2 months, and you can be sure some of the extra jobs the past 2 months include some of that bounce-back. So the average is still legitimate.

You will get no argument from me that Trump is about self promotion. Like so many of Trump's proclamations they are often based on alternative facts.
