OK, come on, now you are just trolling...

Job growth numbers are real; however, quality of jobs do matter.

Also, it is the unemployment numbers that are manufactured and don't take into account the people leaving the job market and jumping on govt. assistance.

Isn't it odd that the revisions were almost always downward when Obama was president. Now we've got one going up.

Canada's unemployment numbers are its lowest in 40 years too. May as well credit King Trump for that one too.

Is that actually even true? Perhaps you can source this for us and provide some specific details?

Meanwhile in other news. Macys and Sears announced that they are laying off a lot of employees and closing 100s of stores across the US. I really will not celebrate about people finding jobs while others are losing their jobs at the same time.

Do you only have a limited amount of celebration available to give?

Sears has been hemorrhaging jobs and closing stores for years. So that's not really all that indicative of anything with the current economy.

The fox news report and the WSJ report I saw put it at 148,000, down from a projected 190,000. So what am I missing?

As with the previous administration...I am skeptical of the numbers but welcome a downtick in the jobless rate. Positive numbers regardless.
