This is an interesting piece though for the numbers it mentions. Of course "true" unemployment is likely higher than the 4+% quoted when you look at reductions to the workforce, etc.
I also wonder about the median home prices. Since when is the median home price approximately three times a yearly salary. I wish I made that much.
Regardless of who gets credit or what the real numbers are, it's good news and as we say "directionally correct".
Completely misleading headline!
Guess the writer never drove through Camden, NJ.
Honest headline:
“Where Once Trump Saw Carnage, Jobs Are NOW Springing UP!”
good lord, does the enemedia hate to have to say anything good about President Trump. This schizophrenic article has to twist itself into a pretzel to turn great economic accomplishments into a denigration of Trump. I don’t know why they even bothered to tell you the truth: they should have just ignored the positive news like all other enemedia outlets.
4% is the number after magic gubmint number massaging. I think it is all in the gubmint definition of unemployed and has little or nothing to do with the actual number of people not working. If there are over 90,000,000 working age Americans not in the labor force the true UE number has to be closer to 20% than 4%.
... and of course the MSM attempts to spin this into some sort of negative for Trump, whereas the people in the south and midwest who voted for and support Trump see it as a promise fulfilled. As if the empty hulks of former factory buildings don’t exist or something, jeez it’s like these people never leave their little coastal bubble cities to see what the real world looks like.
