That 4.4 number is still bogus due to government counting procedures, but congratulations to President Trump—it is a move in the right direction that he has been working hard for.
I care more about the u6 getting lower. The u3 is not a good indicator.
Yep - but if he were to go back to the pre-Obama way of reckoning, he would be castigated for "Ruining the economy" despite the improvements bases on his EOs to date and speculation that things will make great leaps in the right direction as he proceeds with his agenda.
The same Dems that wailed and gnashed their teeth, when Rush said he hopes Obama fails, know that they must stop Trump if their Party is to have any chance of surviving.
Agree the # hired excellent news unemployed however is completely bogus.
As LS said in post #7, that is the U-6 number. I went back and checked the monthly data on U-6. The 8.1% reported is the lowest that the U-6 has been since August of 2001!! That tells me that the media is hiding a hiring frenzy that has been taking place since Trump was elected.
