The U.S. created a robust 223,000 new jobs in May to push unemployment down to an 18-year low of 3.8%, signaling that a nine-year-old economic expansion still has plenty of steam despite being one of the oldest ever. The increase in hiring exceeded the 200,000 forecast of economists polled by MarketWatch.

The 2009 Stimulus is finally giving us those shovel-ready jobs.
Nice. All credit to Trump, and I mean all.
Good news, but as predicted the media is downplaying - Trump is sooo right about the media being truly corrupt.
Nice. All credit to Trump, and I mean all.

Then why does the article give credit to the 9 year economic expansion?
Unexpected...
I'm guessing you're being facetious, but I'm convinced there are millions on the left who actually believe that we're in the midst of an Obama recovery.

Now would be a good time to make the unemployment numbers more accurate. It was back during the early W era that he ordered the Labor department to make them dishonest.
You are right on both counts.
All Trump’s fault.
First of all: MAGA! Thank You, PDJT! We love it!
Secondly:
“Steady hiring by construction and manufacturing companies is particularly surprising. They are the among the industries that have complained the loudest about a shortage of skilled workers.”
That IS a surprise. Beau retired as a Project Manager for a rather large Construction firm. All through the 0bama Reign of Error, it was impossible to find anyone that would do the basics - or who could even pass a drug test or SHOW UP if hired.
Now, the Union Hall is empty - but it’s because everyone is working...with little to no back-up. Everyone wanted to stay on endless unemployment, versus WORK. It’s going to still take some time for some industries to recover (of course!) but this is a good step in the right direction!
Lastly: MAGA! Best. Election. Ever. EVER!
CRUMBS!!
You'd have to ask the author, lol. I'm sure next year it will be a ten year economic expansion.
The unemployment rate was 5.0 when the Halfrican Queen took office and 4.7 when he left. It never went below 4.6 and went as high as 10.0.
Trump has driven it down hard and in a short time.
Now we have REAL jobs, not Obama part-time jobs.
That's because the 'steam' is there now because we haven't really had a 'nine year expansion'. We've had an eight year Obama inspired stagnation, followed by a Trump inspired one year explosion. There's plenty of 'steam' left for that to expand even farther.
It’s funny. Obama blamed Bush for things that happened during his terms. Now people want to give him credit for all of Trump’s successes.
Everyone fights Trump every step of the way. These people either had the idea of independent nation states or are extremely foolish
Agreed
Ive been telling yall the economy - the real economy - is MUCH better than 1 year ago or even 6 months ago. I just finished a project and started a new one in the last month. I had something Ive not had in a decade - leverage. The result is a 20% increase in pay in the last year.
The MSM once again is lying. There was no recovery under Obama for years and years. The upturn under President Trump has been dramatic.
