Trump didn't do that!

[imanamerican63]

He never had an employment rate like the Biden administration did last month! An expected number of 195,000 was the guessiment for the month of May and it was crushed by another 145,000 jobs created! Most of the critics will say it is nothing, but like Joe said before “it’s a big “f—ing deal”! Nice job Joe!

1. Best President of my lifetime!

And he saved this too. (Bears Ears)

2. 195 is greater than 145. ?

3. "Another" means additional.

4. I wondered the same thing, thinking it was a typo.

Had to read it a couple of times and take another sip of coffee.

5. WaPo has an article this morning about why the job forecasts have been so off.

“Early in the pandemic, immigration plummeted. Borders closed, and the Trump administration used the public health emergency as an excuse to make unusually draconian changes to legal immigration that Team MAGA had long been yearning for. Even well into the Biden era, persistent immigration agency dysfunction made it hard for legal immigrants already here to work.

But a lot of those administrative hurdles have since been removed.

Today, trends in legal immigration have largely normalized, and the numbers of immigrant workers in the United States have more than recovered. You can see this in the labor market data: Employment levels for native-born Americans are just a touch higher than in February 2020, when the pandemic recession began (up on net by 0.3 percent); among foreign-born workers, employment has shot up by 9.3 percent.“

The writer infers that the Biden administration has cleaned up the mess Trump left behind but refuses to give any outright credit, which is infuriating. She goes on to say that women have also come back to the workforce at numbers higher than expected. The group that has not come back is men in their prime working years. How many of them are not working so they have time to spend plotting how to overthrow the government? Casting all aspersions aside, I wonder whether the pattern we’ve seen of fewer men going to college or even community college to get special training is having an impact on their job opportunities.

6. Trump promised millions of jobs

and failed bigly. Dems are proven to be better on job creation than Repubs going back like 100 years. There is plenty of data on this

10. Job shrinkage happens when you disinvest

in your country, as was done by the huge tax cuts Trump pushed through.

By contrast, when you invest in your country's infrastructure and building back better, you bet there are lots of jobs.

7. 195,000 plus 145,000 equals 340,000.

Wonderful!

8. Over 21 million jobs were lost due to the pandemic

and Trump's mishandling of the pandemic. Somewhat more than one-half of those jobs were regained in the last nine months of Trump's presidency. The rest were recovered in the first fourteen or so months of the Biden presidency. For the past year, we finally are adding jobs over and above those that were lost and we're adding them at a very good pace.

But to be accurate, not counting post-pandemic results, Trump's best jobs month was February 2018, when 388,000 jobs were added.
