Jobs up and that's when a lot of illegals leaving the jobs market

[Terrel L. Shields]

Dems must be disappointed that their doom and gloom on DT's economy seems to fall a mite short.

The US economy added a stronger-than-expected 115,000 jobs last month and the unemployment rate stayed at 4.3%, an indication of resilience at a time when war and high gas prices loom large.​

​

April’s employment gains mark an expected retreat from March, when a revised 185,000 jobs were created, boosted by factors such as the end of large labor strikes as well as favorable weather, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data released Friday.​

​

However, the job growth seen last month was much stronger than the 65,000 that economists had estimated. No change in the unemployment rate was anticipated as factors such as aging demographics, an immigration slowdown and technology adoption have contributed to a slower-moving jobs market.​

172,000 more jobs added in May... and that despite the deportations? Tell me it hasn't opened up job opportunities FOR LEGAL AMERICANS.

In spite of the doom and gloom predictions, the job market is red hot, and the bond market zoomed into the stratosphere this afternoon in response.

Fern must have had to use his garages to park cars in as the illegals fled to South America no wonder

OH, my; Fern may be in trouble

Fern had 12 occupants listed at one 70 year old 1,500 Square foot home and garage used as rental. Geez this must have hit him hard.

50,000 of those 172,000 jobs were (non-federal) government jobs so they don’t count in MAGA math. In fact, MAGA should see them as a long term negative.

They are, government employment is a drag because it doesn't produce anything. Manufacturing was up very nicely though.
