Great but a recession is on the horizon and when Trump leaves he will blame the Dems and anyone else but him.He will forget about the ever increasing national debt which runs into trillions of dollars ($22)which is more than 4 trillion more than under the Obama administration

You mean CNN is actually reporting this?

....... But then coronavirus

For all us who work frieght or industrial trade. We know the storms coming weve been seeing less trade, less intermodal traffic, less steel, less grain, etc. Please dont be so gullible to believe the unemployment report is a barometer for an ailing economy. Just wait its coming.

Did they get jobs in the “world is coming to an end” department? Because I thought that’s what’s happening if we believe the media.

It's called census jobs... Like every year at this time.

What kind of jobs ?

Thank you President Trump! even these democrats have better paying jobs and savings....

Great job again Mr.President! Bravo

Wow booming economy even with Coronavirus. That must piss off the left and their stooges at CNN.

Trump 2020

God you have to love this Trump economy!!!

Part of the reason unemployment is down is because wages are so low people are working multiple jobs. Also let’s not confuse “jobs created” with temp work, which is what a majority of these “new” jobs are

Who verifies the numbers put out by the Trump admin.

Yet some Americans want to bring socialism to the US. Amazing

The unemployment rate will fall more once those common peasants start dropping dead from the Coronavirus. SO MUCH WINNING!!!

There's literally TONS of jobs around here... ...as long as you will work for $15hr You say you need min $75K/yr salary? 😹🤣😅

273,000 7.00/hr with 1000.00 rent cost.

How come MAGA Morons don’t call this fake news ? Ooh ok you like this news so how can it be fake ? 🤡

Frickin Trump!

It must drive you nuts to have to report something positive regarding President Trump. I have no fear, you will try and put a negative spin on it!

Great 👍🏾

Mow if you could just lower taxes so people can spend money and make the economy grow as well. You have to spend money to make money goverment quit taking all our money...

Thank you TRUMP 2020 🔴

Trump best president in history.

Obamas plan is working great for the US. Trump should thank Obama for the great job success.

Let's put this into perspective. With a United States population of 329.45 million people the creation of 273,000 jobs is equal too 0.00083. Now compare to Canada. Population of 37.59 million people. 30,300 jobs created. This equals 0.00081. How is America any GREATER?

The Donal Trump effect.

Until the next recession

How many of these jobs are living wage jobs?

What Americans are struggling again JoeBiden ?

That's because of the temporary US Census jobs. Don't be fooled

About 60% of Americans are making less than 40k a year while trump and his goonies make millions in their sleep.. smh

Ok added 273k jobs...you ain't telling us about who lost jobs and those became homeless in the same period...probably number could be higher than that

The Trump administration must be doing something right

MAGA! Trumps policies WORK! A rising tide lifts ALL boats.

Damn CNN. I bet that stung a bit having to report that.

Without environmental protection there will be no need for jobs

Thank you President Trump!

What kind of jobs? Minimum wage, no benefits, no future kinds of jobs? Let’s be a little more critical of these stats please.

You got to give the man credit tho. An historic low unemployment rate is excellent. realDonaldTrump is a business man. At the end of the day people wanna eat and have shelter and currently your president is delivering that.

Still that number doesn't account for people who are underemployed or who are working three jobs to stay afloat. The unemployment number is fake news.

“Those jobs are never coming back.” -B Obama 🤣

Magic wand realDonaldTrump KAG2020

Despite DumbDonald's TrumpSlump

Real wages growth is STILL falling.

Wait until next month since travel is down this month

Why does this feel like a manipulated statistic? We were told all throughout 2008 that there was no crisis up until the election was over, then everything was 'revised' to indicate the crisis started 12 months prior.

More Walmart’s open?

So our economy is doing well even thou trump has done everything within his power to destroy it.

What is the pay of these jobs? Where are the jobs located? Demographics of the jobs? How many of these jobs offer employee benefits? I need more analytical data when viewing.
