actually I see UE of 3.9% in April of 1948..so that be when it "first" hit 3.9%, but you still didnt answer the posters question that you quoted
Please tell us why this is a bad thing.

Of course when I said "first" I meant in recent history. As in, post-2008 recession.

The reason I didn't say whether or not it was bad or good is because I was pointing out that it's basically gone sideways for 4 months.

say what you mean and mean what you say or the more intelligent among you will embarrass you by using facts to debunk your claim as I just did.

so you dont have an answer and instead are trying to spread FUD/negativity on a good report.

The 157K was just shown on the local 4PM news broadcast I'm half watching while on a gym exercise bike after work (ABC15's The NOW).

This too was covered in that news report. Apparently wages aren't going to mid earners but to the minimum wage employees who have gotten bumps. That said, the cost of living is getting higher and higher. What is Trump's plan besides tariffs?

I would characterize the report as "OK", not necessarily "good."

3.9% is a good, low UE rate, but since it hit that level 4 months ago it wasn't particularly newsworthy.

I didnt ask, nor care for your characterization of the report.
