The economy added a healthy 263,000 jobs in April, firmly beating analyst expectations of 190,000, according to Friday’s monthly snapshot from the Department of Labor.
While some of those job gains can be attributed to government hiring of the first wave of temporary workers to carry out the 2020 Census — a number that will eventually hit 500,000 by early next year — April's figures are a firm indication that the economy remains on a robust growth track. With more open positions than people available to fill them, it's still a job hunter's market, pushing wages higher as companies compete for the best workers. That higher pay, together with low inflation and low borrowing rates, are boosting the economy. The Federal Reserve announced on Wednesday that for the third time this year, citing inflation below its target rate of 2 percent as one of the reasons for that decision.
Most people in my family and friends work 2 to 3 jobs!
Whose 'statistics'?
Fact Check
And how many of those jobs pay a livable wage & offer enough hours so people qualify for health insurance?
I bet that hurt to report
Impeach! Impeach!
Great job President Trump!!!
How many of those jobs pay the $7.25 poverty wage?
Thank you Mr President Trump!! Keep working at jobs, jobs, jobs, Wall, Immigration reform, less government regulations, less taxes, free up health insurance companies selling across state lines!! More oil, gas, and cheaper energy for increased economy!! MAGA!!!!!
Trump taking credit for Obama efforts.Could you break down what job industry, how many stop looking and wages? The cost of living needs to be a living wage because working two jobs to equal one isn't acceptable
Thanks Obama to bad a piece of 💩 gets to steal tge credit
Maga
Yes - but how much do those jobs pay? And how many people who struggled through the recession have given up looking ?
'We shouldn’t expect eye-popping jobs numbers to continue throughout this year,' cautioned Martha Gimbel, director of economic research at Indeed Hiring Lab. 'The long-term unemployment rate remains almost twice what it was in the early 2000s. Bam 💥
where are all of these jobs that everyone is talking about? because in my town, the only jobs around are gonna be minimum wage, part time, no benefits in food service or retail.
And the Democrats will ruin it all.
But people are still working 2 jobs
It’s over Democrats, Trump Re-elected 2020
Ask the farmers how the economy is doing for them!
Thanks to our GREAT President!!!
Part time minimum wage jobs with no benefits. No family can survive on them.
Connecticut lost 150,000 jobs.
Great. Tons of McD's & Wal-Mart jobs. The world is saved. GTFOH!
FYI...Seniors in this country r professionally descrimated against &. intentionally not hireable because of their age. They are not included in any legitimate unemployment the government just assumes 65+ are retired. Except for congress people of course.
But none of the “economists” harp on the trillions in new debt that tRUMP & the Repugnants have racked up...which ONCE AGAIN the Democrats will have to clean up! WHY? Because it is the Corporate voices you are hearing! Profits!! Who cares about the debt !!
Great! Now let’s work to make them fair paying jobs
A good economy doesn't mean that the average person is benefiting from it. The benefits go to the top 1%. Meanwhile. Those at the bottom are working more for less. Therefore spending is less. There's no celebration in that!
Thanks Trump!
Trump always said President Obama cooked all the numbers. How do we know his numbers are real?
At the same time CVS. Walmart. Payless. Sears.etc are closing their stores and many will be uemployed!
YAY!! *Capitalism Works
Fake news not seeing the big picture. Unemployment does not dictate the entire economy. There r plant and store closures. Look at bankruptcies, sales, GDP etc.. to be honest need to look all the factors, not seeing the forest for the trees.
Umm 😐 there are many who are out of work and don’t file. Thus, they are not counted in the numbers! I’m supporting 1 and know of 2 other young adults who are also recent grads that are not counted.
It’s all about the economy baby. Trump2020
And Liarocious added over 10,000 lies to the Liar economy as well. Yay!
Lies! These numbers are as real as Ivanka and Jared obtaining their security clearance on their own. Do not believe anything that comes out of the Trump administration.
I love the democrat despair.
Yet vast sections of the rust belt is literally dying off.. losing population in small cities.. so we are going to let the rural parts of the country die?
maybe because there’s so many layoffs 😱
Trump really didn't do anything to get to this low rate, this number is despite of President Trump, not because of him. Trump and his Administration just taking credit.
Trump
and how many of those hold two or three jobs just to survive?
how many pay a living wage?
