Stop trying to distract from the collective meltdown.

Who gives a shit about jobs?

More Jobs = Less Likely to Vote Dem

BAD.......

Only bad thing in the article I posted was that companies are still happy that wages are not growing that quickly. Wages have to rise.

Among the marginally attached, there were 373,000 discouraged workers in February, down by 149,000 from a year earlier. (The data are not seasonally adjusted.) Discouraged workers are persons not currently looking for work because they believe no jobs are available for them. The remaining 1.2 million persons marginally attached to the labor force in February had not searched for work for reasons such as school attendance or family responsibilities. (See table A-16.)

In February, average hourly earnings for all employees on private nonfarm payrolls rose by 4 cents to $26.75, following a 7-cent gain in January. Over the year, average hourly earnings have increased by 68 cents, or 2.6 percent. Average hourly earnings of private-sector production and nonsupervisory employees increased by 6 cents to $22.40 in February. (See tables B-3 and B-8.)

@noonereal Among the major worker groups, the unemployment rate for Blacks declined to 6.9 percent in February, while the jobless rates for adult men (3.7 percent), adult women (3.8 percent), teenagers (14.4 percent), Whites (3.7 percent), Asians (2.9 percent), and Hispanics (4.9 percent) showed little change.

I am so happy I ignored my Economics/Finance degree and went into sales after college. ;) lol

Largest labor force and more people working than ever.

Importantly, the black unemployment rate that had been at a record low and then spiked up is back down and at the 2nd lowest level ever, but still a ways to go vs other groups.

its below 7% which is a very good thing
