What a disaster       America's employers delivered another outpouring of jobs in March, adding a sizzling 303,000 workers to their payrolls

3 questions (okay, 4):

 

1) How many of those are full time jobs and how many are part time?

2) How many of those are gub'ment jobs?

3) How many are they going to adjust downward, like they did pretty much every month in 2023?

 

And finally:  How many of those jobs went to American citizens and how many to foreign citizens?

And the majority of Biden's "new jobs" have been people coming back to work from Covid shutdowns, and part timers picking up more work because they can't make it on one job under Bidenomics.

More details about this total dusaster:

Job growth zoomed in March as payrolls jumped by 303,000 and unemployment dropped to 3.8%.

The unemployment rate edged lower to 3.8%, as expected, even though the labor force participation rate moved higher to 62.7%, a gain of 0.2 

https://www.cnbc.com/2024/04/05/job-growth-totaled-303000-in-march-better-than-expected-and-unemployment-was-3point8percent.html

 

The unemployment rate has remained below 4% for 26 straight months, the longest such stretch since the late 1960s. The U.S. economy is outshining its global peers even though the Fed has raised rates by 525 basis points since March 2022 to dampen inflation.

You need to get a new calculator.

 

Pre-pandemic, employment was 158.7 million.  When Biden was inaugurated, it was 149.8M.  Today, it's 161.5M. 

 

8.9M Covid jobs came back (158.7 - 149.8), out of the 11.7M jobs that Biden claims to have added (161.5 - 149.8).  Meaning Biden only added 2.8M new jobs (161.5 - 158.7).  The vast majority of them (76%) are just Covid jobs coming back.  And that was my claim.

 

To make it worse, that's all jobs, part and full time.  It's worse for full time jobs.  And devastating for American born workers, who have gained no jobs since Mid 2022.

 

Not to mention, he's added somewhere in the neighborhood of 10 million "newcomer" workers.  But only 2.8M new jobs.  Yet, they claim unemployment is down?  That must be the new math.

And 40% of Biden’s “new” jobs are from growing government. 

 

Meanwhile, tax revenues are down…

Now that sounds suspiciously like-If you don't like the message then attack the messenger. But I would be surprised if you read it.

You misunderstand Trump's purpose, as well as MAGA supporters.  He is being elected to do one job and one job only: bring down the deep state and all its corrupt structures. Nobody cares about his personality, what he says, or if he has offended people in the past. This is why I laugh at people who cry about "he's a criminal!" And what's your point? Why does that matter now? Like the French revolution when they cut off the heads of the monarchy, he is only there to be a wrecking ball, destroying everything corrupt so that we can start the healing and rebuilding process in 2028.  Trump has promised to return America to the American people, and that is the sole reason he is popular.  If he doesn't do this...if he doesn't bring down the entire diseased temple this time...everyone will turn on him, and quickly.

 

What you call a "free and open democracy" hasn't existed for generations. We are controlled by a mafia like structure known by many different names. We don't even have honest voting, and haven't had it for a long time. America is at war, and Trump is coming back to end the war. But you can rest assured it is a short term project. 2028 is going to be all about healing and rebuilding again.

So the corrupt one has to exterminate corruption.

I don't claim to know.

 

Here's a thought.   I linked to all the data you need, to brain that one out yourself.   Why don't you let us know what you calculate?

 

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/CE16OV

 

Edit:  Just eyeballing the slopes, if you compare Biden's job growth after mid 2022 (when you say he surpassed pre-Covid), his growth numbers look pretty anemic compared to the Trump numbers before Covid struck.  But be a peach and calculate the numbers for us...

Are you unaware of the day the new President takes office in the US?

It's more likely due to fiscal years. A budget voted a given year only starts in October of this year until September the next year. So until September 2017 it was Obama's budget and until September 2021 it was Trump's budget. It is also used to calculate deficits and debts  as they are caused by the budget voted.

Nice try! 😉

Was the Fed implementing a high interest rate policy under Trump in order to cool down the employment growth?

General comment:

- nothing's perfect as Biden has no magic power. However, the unemployment statistics (and others such as GDP) are showing that the popular MGA claim that Biden's economy is a disaster is ridiculous.

- the post-Covid context is different from the pre-Covid context. The post-Covid economic performance of the U.S is much better than in other comparable economies.

Interest rates were raised in an attempt to curb inflation, not to slow employment growth.
