This is obviously the fault of President Donald Trump.

Ask yourself why are there so many morons who still want to go back to Barack.

The answer is that most of them aren't working, they are suckling at the government teat in one form or another. Look at that unemployment rate in Hawaii then see just how many of them are suckling.

Democrats couldn’t even give polite applause to such facts when stated by Trump at the State of the Union.

These Democrats are so afraid that anyone would give any credit to Trump’s policies for such good news.

Does the high Alaska unemployment rate include natives who choose to live by subsistence hunting, like their ancestors did?

California also set a new record last month. The Golden State’s unemployment rate stands at 4.1 percent, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). That’s the lowest rate recorded since BLS began keeping track of state-level unemployment figures in 1976, and it’s a third of the 12.3 percent unemployment rate California notched at the height of the recession in December 2010.

Thank you Trump. It's looking like the corrupt leftist have overplayed their hand in CA. Things seem to be changing.☺

That, or CA is cooking the numbers.

Trust but verify.

I wonder if this rate counts all people in an age range who are capable of working, or if it excludes those who have given up looking for a job...anyone know how they do this? I couldn’t discern it at the link.

I’m guessing that this will be taken as a sign that we should revert back to the actual unemployment numbers, rather than the fake ones used to cover up how bad things were.

Trump has been in office for only 15 months so he is still riding on Obama.

Give Trump a few years and he will crash the economy just like Bush did

My nephew is one of those setting the record lows in Oregon. He is a machinist, and was hired about six weeks ago by a company that fabricates machinery for factories from Oregon to Michigan.

One of their major clients is a company that makes titanium golf clubs. They make foundry equipment for them, including the stainless steel ...buckets?... the titanium alloy is melted in.

The company has so much business that they are desperate for machinists and welders, and will hire just about anyone with the right background, and train up anybody who can or will learn.

I work in Logistics, “riding Obama” is utter nonsense.

In 35 years in Logistics I never seen a truck driver market like this. There a lot more goods being moved now there there ever was under Clinton-Bush-Obama.

Someone domestically is buying all the stuff riding around on all those trucks. It isn’t being exported.

Drive by a Walmart distribution center. They don’t even have enough room to park all the trucks waiting to unload. The are cramming them in anywhere they can.

Everyone knows it’s Trump’s economy/policies which have benefited the economy. So why would the leftist screw worms in CA embellish or exaggerate the Trump economy numbers?

Time for a letter to everyone on welfare that they have three months to find a job as all benefits will be ended permanently.

I was working out at the local gym a few weeks ago & talked to an older woman (early 50’s). She had lost her job & was waiting to see if she could go on disability. What?! You’re working out in a gym & there isn’t SOMETHING that you can do? Ridiculous! We have to stop letting folks pull that kind of nonsense.

suggesting a recovery stronger than any particular political persuasion.

IOW, President Trump gets no credit.

We have a local shopping center which is stacking rented containers in a large portion of the parking lot because the shortage of truck drivers have put an end to just in time inventory. They take it when they can get it or they stock out.

The plant where I work is doing the same thing but on a smaller scale because we have pros managing production and inventory. Probably because we pay a bit better than Lowes and Target.
