“The government, delivering the last major snapshot of the economy before Election Day, reported on Friday that employers added 161,000 workers in October, a performance that suggests a healthy outlook for the months ahead.”
Bhaahawhahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahah
“a performance that suggests a healthy outlook for the months ahead.”

“The official unemployment rate dropped to 4.9 percent. “

Rule 1: Math is not a friend of progressives.
Rule 2: Math is a sworn enemy of progressive newspaper reporters.
Look at the terrible labor participation rate %62.8.
This means nearly 40 percent of ALL people able to work are not working.
The 62 percent of the labor force has to support 100 percent of the population. This is disastrous.
It may be Hillary supporting businesses like Wal-Mart that are cooking the employment figures.
Hillary was on the company’s board when Bill was Arkansas governor in the 1980’s and the Walton family heirs-major shareholders have given her and the Democrat Party 700-thousand dollars this year.
I am under the impression Wal-Mart has been on a major hiring spree even bringing back people dismissed earlier at the rate of 10 hires per store per week since the middle of the summer. With 3-thousand stores that could be tens of thousands of hires nationwide per week.
A lot of those hired have since been let go because they had “issues” but that’s the story I’ve been getting.
When everyone in America knows someone who’s unemployed, how can they believe we have near full employment. 4.9 my behind.
this should be posted in the friday silliness thread
what a joke
The big question is: will the NYT continue this fraudulent employment reporting system after Trunp is elected.
After Jan 20, 2017, they’ll suddenly discover all sorts of social and economic pathologies.
By the end of Hillary’s term, the unemployed will be so depressed that all of them will have stopped looking for work and unemployment will be at zero percent.
And on that new the DOW was up 748 points.
Anyone that has been paying attention will recognize that for the last several years first quarter and second quarter numbers are lousy, third-quarter is OK, and fourth-quarter is back to lousy. All of which add up to a sub 2% GDP growth.
This has been timed for the election for a long time now. It was to be the thing that boosted Clinton into office. Oops, they didn’t count on having a Republican candidate that actually fights back.
