The 2009 Stimulus is finally giving us those shovel-ready jobs.

Nice. All credit to Trump, and I mean all.

[1Old Pro]

Good news, but as predicted the media is downplaying - Trump is sooo right about the media being truly corrupt.

Unexpected...

[Moonman62]

The U.S. created a robust 223,000 new jobs in May to push unemployment down to an 18-year low of 3.8%,

...

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.

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!

" a nine-year-old economic expansion still has plenty of steam despite being one of the oldest ever."

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.

Everyone fights Trump every step of the way. These people either had the idea of independent nation states or are extremely foolish

[ScottinVA]

Went to the NY Times article on this; not a single comment from readers. Poor libs... “bad” news all around.

RE: unemployment falls to 18-year low of 3.8%

I wonder what the Labor Force Participation Rate is...

[catnipman]

3 ... 2 ... 1 ... leftist fake stream suddenly discovers the U6 unemployment numbers and tries to explain to us how Trumps’s job recovery is fake ... either that or they’ll all just ignore the good economic news hoping that if THEY don’t tell us about it, then none of us will notice on our own that our economic lives are improving ...

Just cannot stop lying can they?

WHERE THE JOBS ARE FOR MAY 2018

Of note: while last month's jobs report was truly impressive in terms of job gains by industry, with the highest paying adding the most workers, in May we saw a continuation of many of the trends observed last month:

• Continued strength in Goods Production: Mining (+5.5K), Construction (+25K) & Manufacturing (+18K).
• Trade & Transportation Rebounded: Wholesale (+4.2 after a big drop last month), Retail (+31.1K), and Truck Transportation (+6.6K).

Here the surprise was that just 6.6K trucking jobs were added, following complaints from the major trucking employers, all of whom have noted they can't find enough people to hire, which suggests there may be an upward revision next month.

Some other highlights:

• Professional Services were especially strong, driven by White collar demand (Technical services +22.6K). The offset: Temp workers came in soft declining by 7.8K.
• Manufacturing also very strong at +18K: machinery added +5.8K jobs and fabricated metal products was up +2.4K
• Education rebounded from last month's weakness at +39K:
• Healthcare was steady: +31.73K: Employment rose in ambulatory health care services (+17,900) and hospitals (+6,200).
• Leisure & Hospitality another strong month: +21K
• Mining +4K with most of the gain coming from support activities for mining (+3,100).

[SeekAndFind]

Establishment Survey print showed a +223K jump in total jobs, looking at the Household Survey showed one stunning outlier print: in May the number of full-time jobs rose from 127.753 million to 128.657 million, a 904K increase in one month, offset by a 625 plunge in low-quality, part-time jobs.

[NCLaw441]

The headline says lowest unemployment in 18 years, but there is a quote in the piece saying that you’d have to look back to 1969 for a lower figure. I’m no math whiz, but isn’t that 49 years?

[SeekAndFind]

Unfortunately, Labor For participation rate is still the pits

For all the talk that the slack in the labor force is set to decline, precisely the opposite is taking place, because in May, the number of people not in the labor force increased by another 170K, rising to 95.915 million, a new all time high.

Adding to this the 6.1 million currently unemployed Americans, there are 102 million Americans who are either unemployed or out of the labor force (and it is also worth noting that of those employed 26.9 million are part-time workers).

Trump works almost round the clock to make the country great again... and it’s happening.

God Bless President Trump.

9 year expansion? According to what stats? If what we had under Obama was an expansion I’d hate to suffer under a mild recession.
