The latest figures from the Labor Department released showed the U.S. economy losing 20.5 million jobs in April, the steepest plunge in payrolls since the Great Depression

The Labor Department’s closely watched monthly employment report on Friday also showed the unemployment rate surging to 14.7% last month, shattering the post-World War Two record of 10.8% touched in November 1982. It underscored the depth of the recession caused by lockdowns imposed by states and local governments in mid-March to curb the spread of COVID-19, the respiratory illness caused by the virus.

Economists polled by Reuters had forecast the survey of establishments would show nonfarm payrolls diving by 22 million. Data for March was revised to show 870,000 jobs lost instead of 701,000 as previously reported. A record streak of job growth dating to October 2010 ended in March. Stocks on Wall Street were trading higher amid easing tensions between Washington and Beijing, and relief on the fewer-than-expected job losses. The dollar fell against a basket of currencies, while U.S. Treasury prices were mixed.The BLS said the response rate for the household survey, from which the unemployment rate is derived, continued to be “adversely affected by pandemic-related issues.”

Truck drivers are also in demand, while supermarkets, pharmacies and courier companies need workers. Still, economists do not expect a quick rebound in the labor market.

WRONG!!! The governors did it!!!

HELL NO...!! realDonaldTrump murdered nearly 80,000 Americans because he was too slow to act.

Oh please! You knew this was coming! He and his wil say whatever they have to say to make it all look like it was all part of his master plan to save America! As usual tho, all it does is makes me feel like I have to puke!

Because deregulation & tax cuts has done soo much good for middle & lower class Americans so far-

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 oh here we going again another liar, even worst than Sarah Sanders and you expect people to believe your nonsense? Ooh men!

this_vid

Same one that said “ Coronavirus will never enter the United States”

PressSec

More than 70,000 death is called 'save lives'. Biggest joke.

So nice of him

Oh, oh, oh, 😒🤔😄😂

One of the most stupid woman’s on earth!!! Just look at her face!! A perfect donkey!!!

Ha ha ha ...full of drama

It's all for nothing. Opening up the economy will result in a million dead within 6 months

She's a liar too. Oh but that's right, I forgot, she said she would never lie to press or American public?

This is same twit in 2016 that said Trump was racist and not for her. How times have chaged

That makes no sense, but she is another mouthpiece that just goes in circles!!

„You have to talk simple, but think complicated, not the other way around“ Franz Josef Strauß

Jajajaja jajajajaj, it’s not true at all, CORONAVIRUS COVID19 SARS2:, the perfect timing for the economic crash it’s more clear than the water

Lol

Wow. She appears quite good

Shit happens

Gaslighting. Donald had nothing to do with 'stopping the US economy'

Anothr huge disappntmnt frm the IMPEACHED IMBECILE WorstPresidentEver & WorstAdministrationEver ; hoped she'd b bettr PressSec alas, ths is jst moved to have Campaign Deep State take ovr cntr stage for propos on taxpyrs $/time whn we seek straight-up CoroV TRUTHS/FACTS NOT SPIN

She promised to never lie while on the dais. She just did.

I love ❤️ her !!!!

How’s that going?

Brittany the cheer leader of lies.

Trump showed up to the show after the governors started shutting down the states. It took him a month to catch up

😂😂 Trump is the most deceitful politician we've witnessed in modern history... Even as he claims he's simply a 'Businessman' A Businessman who bankrupted a Casino, story for another day. He rode on Obama's policies that catupulted those employment numbers he so boasts about.

Please don’t give me the “she’s actually really smart” crap. She’s not using her powers for good, that’s her problem.

USA version of Michelle Dewberry . Loop

Her lies aren't getting any more convincing.

Insert the “blonde joke”

She is like Erdogan’s spokesman. Their intellectual capacity is the same.

A very articulate woman. She sounds very effective. I can see how people that watch Fox News are susceptible to this gaslighting. What a load very well spoken crap.

He did squat. State Governors and mayors took charge when trump was sitting on his hands for two critical months.

Wow, taking credits of all the local authorities who fight for their community....shameless...

No. The governors stopped the economy to save lives.

Strong woman - Ms. McEnany! Did you notice the briefing is mostly with mean men from the press? Trump is smart to pick her!

“Hottest economy in modern history”....are you serious? 2% GDP with massive tax cuts and stimulus. Then bullied the fed to continue to inflate the bubble they had created. All by putting us in the worst defect in history. Good job! He can def do it again!

Ha...that would be Tom Hanks and the NBA....

Lol

That’s so funny. What a clown 🤡!

😂😂😂That’s a good one!

Oh man, here she goes lying again.

How does anyone take her seriously? They should seriously consider her as the dumb blond if they decide to bring back Three's Company. Absolute fit.

When you get hired straight out of a sorority...

Another press puppet.Another stress related retirement soon.Or'youre fired'

Let me know when she reaches puberty. Seriously?

When you imprison Blacks and Latinos, of course those left will make the jobs numbers look good?!?!

I cant even

Ofcourse.

Is she really that stupid!

nice hair is all I can say

I know she is pretty but guys let’s focus on China’s lies

Wait, when did he order a national shelter in place order? I forget the date.

Then why is he pushing to restart it when all health & pandemic experts are saying it will cause more cases & deaths I thought it actually was Governors who shut it down & trump has been inciting protests to force Governors to reopen too early? Which is it don?

GrabHerPussy realDonaldTrump

The president can’t even stop himself from being an ass let alone an economy. He has never had control of this. It was a reaction by the state governors to his failure to protect this nation from an external viral threat. TrumpFailedAmerica

Propaganda Czar

Lockdown kills lives

Spokeswoman proves that she in working with which dumb

If he actually acted when by all indications, then we wouldn't have needed to shut down the economy. Go f yourself.

After foolish delay result of which seen in front of the entire world with maximum cases and deaths. Is he capable of being a president. Don't know on what basis people wanted him to power. Pity intelligence of such voters

she said she wont lies well 2 or 3 days she has she worse then sarah anyone take the stand you know shit going to come out of it

She’s Good!

We are gonna need a bigger shovel

After making it the best economy we enjoyed beating others worldwide, he is going to stop his success. Brilliant! Are you sure you understood this right? If not there's always Rosetta Stone English.

I would !

She’s good. Too bad she’s working for the bad guys. The cross is predictable though and maybe a bit too Madonna-esque looking.

Yes save lives they did! brave and decisive leaders with a capacity to plan and act intellectually aka the state governors... unlike the clueless Cirque Du Whit house 🤡

新发言人不错啊。质量比前几个好一些。

Sickening. This is like an abusive spouse or partner that says “I did it for you, baby” to explain away the abuse and neglect.

IncompetenceKills

A different face but same bull When will reps realize Trump uses women to be give the appearance he cares(pretty face) When will women realized they are being used Men are the only ones he Trusts as his main ass kissers

I hate to say it, but she is good.

LOL!

Ffs. Is there anyone at the White House who doesn’t need corks on their cutlery?

She is good looking and smaart

I can not even finish listening to the ass kissing, anyone else smell ass on her breath?

The best choice against extreme left/lib media! She is used how to handle them since her time at fake news CNN!

Did she say 'lowest employment rate in this history of this country'?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣! Of course I’m absolutely fully aware! And are you aware that when pigs fly bacon will go up?

She’s a shark in a fish bowl of uneducated 2nd rate media types ..and she’s hot as hell

She should be nominated for a Razzie for that performance.

Wait, Trump said COVID19 was a hoax. Now the spin is he stopped the economy to save lives...from a hoax? I can’t keep up with all the chaos coming out of this White House. Good grief.

I thought it was the Governors?

Then, tRump realized not enough elderly, elderly vets, disabled, brown and black people had died. Open it up!

Have you got any evidence for this claim Kayleigh?

The 'jobs president.' Yeah, ok. The jobs that were created were low-level, low-wage with no benefits and no room for advancement. What a joke!! That's what happens when you have a service economy.

both he and she is a JOKE.

Doesn’t she feel sick 🤢 when she licks trumps ass?

Oh for fucks sake she’s patting him on the back as the death toll is 77,126 and increasing. DumbBlonde

“We have a president who always looks at the data.” That’s a lie. This POTUS is well known for blatantly ignoring almost ALL data. The data is almost always better than the President’s gut.

Trump likes his staff like he likes his porn stars. Blonde, dumb, and fake.

Ekonomi Unfortunetly,The American economy and world economies succumb to the virus. So they have to reopen their economies. As a result, deaths do not stop!!

hahahaha, California and new york stopped the economy to save lives while trump insisted everything was fine and the virus was a hoax

Cunt

She's really STUPID! In comparison Sara Sanders is A plus! She still believes Americans are gullible!

Well isn't that a load...

Not true

Finally! The female version of 'Spicy'!

She takes the knee pads off bf the press conferences.

Statistically speaking, every 1% increase in unemployment 40k people die. Where is unemployment now? And how many corona deaths has there been? Plus the hospitals are financially incentivized to record any death as covid... great click bait though!

her eyes don't get tired from fake lashes?

This bitch is nuts

BBC News . Khalizad and Pakistan chief of Army had a meeting to discuss how to further increase the terrorists production an the killing process in Afghanistan. پښتو - زلمی خلیلزاد د پاکستاني پوځ له مشر قمر جاوید باجوه سره لیدلي

PressSec oops, you lied. Trump didn't shut the country down. He downplayed the threat of the virus until March. He knew the virus was spreading for many weeks

Shes been destroying these hacks.

Also WhiteHouse PressSec Kayleigh telling us that Trump will never allow the Coronavirus come to our shores.

Focus on the jobs, the virus, not the president, please... USG do so bad work on the issue😂

I understood that 'even Democrats weren't blaming him' for the economy', now he stopped it?

Another female enabler of a President who uses her sex like Kleenex. Shameless.

About 2 months TOO LATE !!!

More than half of the deaths in the U.S. could have been avoided if the Trump administration had taken this seriously in Dec/Jan. Trump doesn't give a sh*t about anyone but himself and his fantasy daughter-girlfriend.

bruh

While people are angry about nothingburger Jimmy Kimmel, this absolute stupid blonde witch gives Trump credit for something he TOOK NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR.

I was starting to get bored with the circus. Then you guys hired this new clown and totally redeemed yourselves!

What is it with tRump and blondes? 🤔 Sorry in advance, if I offend anyone!

Stormy Daniels No.2

Oh, that’s the way it went down? Disney is most famous for cartoons and fantasy, but I believe it has been replaced by the White House...

I thought he eagerly wants to reopen...The damage has already done

She's like...like...the Mary Poppins of lying...

Pants on fire

It is time to start reopening the economy. I will be in line when houses of worship, restaurants, hair salons, and retailers reopen.

Bullshit , flow from all aspects of the White House , sickening ,

LOL

He stopped nothing to save lives, only flights coming in and out of the country. The Governors of the States are the ones who saved lives.

lyingkayleigh

She left off 2 words at the end of that sentence: 'too late.'

Imagine 4 more years with this knucklehead?

Next

Could that be because the govt closed all businesses?

That is about 40 times the number of pple who got the virus, that is deranged in anyone's language

Yes. Artificial job loss and shutting down almost all commerce will do that.
