U.S. Payrolls Rise 157,000 While Wage Gains Hold at 2.7%
But revisions from May and June added 59,000 jobs
Unemployment rate slips back to 3.9%
The participation rate remains at 62.9%
A broad measure of unemployment fell to 7.5% in July, the lowest level since 2001

 

Yes, but it's all fake because of tariffs and it will come crashing down and Trump will prove himself to be a Nazi.

 

Or something like that.

There are plenty of legitimate cases to be made against Donald Trump’s economic policies. This … is not one of them:

DNC Chair Tom Perez statement on new 3.9% unemployment numbers out today: “Donald Trump’s reckless policies continue to hurt millions of hardworking families."

 

 

OK, we’re no economic geniuses like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez or anything, but we’re pretty sure Tom Perez’s argument makes no sense.

RASMUSSEN: Voters More Likely to Credit Trump for Economy Over Obama.

 

 

 

Weird how Obama didn’t get his Recovery Summer until he’d been out of office for a year and a half.

 

.

 

he did about 75% of his best and shrugged and walked away self-satisfied over the nothing he accomplished

50% of voters credit Trump with the economy.

 

40% are basically screaming "You didn't build that!  Somebody else made it happen..."  Go figure.

The latest Employment Situation Report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows new manufacturing jobs being added at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 2.6 percent in July, a yearly employment growth figure not seen in the sector since 1984 — and the biggest monthly gains since 1994.
 

“After creating an average of 17,000 jobs per month in 2017, over the first seven months of 2018, manufacturers have added an average of 28,000 jobs per month.  These 2018 employment gains are on track to be the highest average monthly increase since 1994,” according to a White House statement based on data compiled by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).

Political Cartoons by Gary Varvel

So stupid. You will see. Standing and boasting about the business cycle is a double edged sword. Notice Trump isn't boasting about the stock market anymore? Look what happened to Hoover who declared and end to poverty. But you are a total idiot, so carry on. 

 

 

Just need to point out that Turkey, which is in trouble, is now drawing the ire of Trump who is putting tariffs on them. So a country which has 25% of its debts in US dollars is going down and Trump is helping out go down! Brilliant! What could go wrong.
