    His greatest campaign promise was to make America great again. With Roy Moore's help with putting blacks back in their place, putting the gays in jail and keeping Muslims out of elected office, that promise will be realized one day.

    just sharing some data dude...btw famed analyst Donald Trump has claimed for years that the real unemployment rate is much higher than the official rate...and he actually has some respectable company for once...so if he and his fellow travelers are right we are still some distance from full employment

    I agree. I don't think we're anywhere near full employment.

    Just pointing out your data by itself needs more context for people like 57 and goldy who don't understand math

    when there are lots of unemployed it is easier for employment to grow fast...but we probably are not quite to the point where job growth is constrained by a tight labor market...so the data i presented doesn't really need to be contextualized

    The unemployment rate is near historical lows. There's very little slack here. Any job growth is positive

    You misheard him. That's only true when Obama was president. Now the number is right.

    Oh look, the Trump administration has its own uranium-related scandal, except this one is real and there's proof the administration did the industry's bidding.

    Did Paul Ryan decide Social Security was a waste of money before or after he used it to pay for college?

    To think, if Trump were tried and found guilty of the charges ( up to 16 plus public admission), he would be forced to register as a sex offender.
    and yeah, a notice like that above would not be inappropriate

    Think about that

    But the most interesting part of the jobs report, which goes almost unnoticed by the media, is that it's not just a few groups seeing more jobs and opportunity — it's broad-based, with minorities, women, men and even those with low incomes, showing the best gains.


    Meanwhile, groups that have lagged in recent years also show major improvements. For instance, the jobless rate for African Americans dropped from 8% to 7.3%, while for Hispanics it fell from 5.7% to 4.7%. For Asians it stayed at an ultralow 3%.

    Only one group is doing notably worse: Teenagers. Those aged 16 to 19 have seen their jobless rate rise from 15.2% to 15.9% in the past year. It's no fluke: Hefty minimum wage hikes around the country have slashed youth employment.

    As for wages, average earnings rose five cents an hour, or 2.5%, from last year. But economists Brian Wesbury and Robert Stein of First Trust add that number to the change in total hours worked to get what they call "total earnings." Those are up "a sturdy 4.8% from a year ago," they said, and "wages are rising faster in the lower income ranges than in the higher ones."

    Couple of things:

    1) SAV your people work work work. Love it.
    2) This is why the media continues to play identity politics because they can't let their minority voting bloc understand how good the new economic reforms are for them. When you think of policies that actually impact Americans this intangable 'racism' doesn't impact them at all in comparison to actual job growth. Job growth is what will help minorities in this country and help them move forward and escape from poverty. Not screaming about how white people owned them 150+ years ago.
    3) Impact of minimum wage hikes is so predictable and always amuses me when we have calls to increase @sturg
    4) If this keeps up you are looking at Trump till 2024.

    But really though - Keep pushing the fake Russia collusion narrative because God forbid you focus on anything that really impacts Americans.
