Sorry you were one of the unlucky ones. There are always some losers.
But if you are one of the losers it will be at least easy to find a supplemental job as you point out.

any increase in salary you most likely got, just went into the tank of the wagon queen, and you STILL didnt pick up eggs and bread for the missus.....

Upward revision to January as well.

US added 678,000 jobs in February in sign of economic health
Good new, with lots of jobs, because a person needs to have 3 jobs now, to afford to live in Bidenland.

Much of what you complained about I addressed in the ADP thread here.

And the other stuff you complained about again I already responded to again below:

But the problem with that excuse is, this new excuse will be complaining about something that happens after every recession: There is a sharp decline in jobs in the recession, after which it takes some time for those jobs to recover to previous levels.

But rather than being catastrophic, this jobs recovery has been extraordinarily fast, particularly considering how steep the initial jobs loss was.
If you click on the chart in the link I provided you'll notice that it looks like the total jobs recovery time for this recession is going to be about the same as after the 1981 recession.

Funny, I don't hear anybody here complaining that Ronald Reagan's first 3 years were an economic disaster.

All everyone here is doing is complaining about something that happens after every recession. And you can be 100% absolutely, positively sure they would not be complaining about it if Donald Trump had been elected to a second term.

Yes, I read it. And I responded to it.

You think inflation is making things bad. OK, I can certainly see the point. But as I said in my last post in the ADP thread, the choice was slower GDP growth, slower jobs growth but lower inflation, or: Faster GDP growth, faster jobs growth and higher inflation. I believe the latter is the better choice, because more people will be re-employed quicker that way. Life is just filled with tradeoffs.

Your points about minorities and everything else are no different than the other issues I've addressed: Like all the other measures, they will eventually get back to where they were prior to the pandemic. As after every recession, that just takes time.

I'm sorry sir, but if Trump had been reelected there would be eight gazillion new jobs. The unemployment rate would be 1% and gas would be a nickel a gallon.

When Donald Trump was president, the Trump fans here were only responding to positive "rates." They refused to respond to non-positive "rates." All I'm doing is the same they were doing when their man was president.

There are plenty of Biden haters here who are broadcasting non-positive "rates." No need for me to duplicate their efforts.

When you put "quotes" around something, you need to back it up, why won't you? It should be easy.
