On Friday, the Bureau of Labor Statistics released its monthly jobs report for December 2021, which showed the U.S. economy regained 18.8 million jobs of the 20 million jobs that were lost at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in April 2020.
More than 7 million of the jobs that have been regained since the start of the pandemic were added in the last year alone, according to the bureau's report. The U.S. economy has been steadily adding jobs over the past year as the country continues to dig out from the devastating toll taken by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The bureau found that the country added 199,000 jobs in December, which was below estimates, while revising its previous jobs report numbers to add 39,000 jobs to its November 2021 report and 102,000 jobs to its October 2021 report.

Let's see - that's over 7,000,000 jobs in 11 months - about 640,000 jobs a month. Compare that to Chump's average - a negative 69,000/month.
An old anecdote. My former employer had a design center in India, and occasionally Indian engineers would travel to the US for face to face collaboration (this was well before the pandemic or seamless video conferencing).
We were having lunch with a group of these engineers, when one of them, a bright young woman, asked a question:
"If America is so rich, why don't any of you have servants"?
Apparently, every Mike Brady in Bangalore has his very own Alice.
I was too polite to give her the honest answer to that question.
Yes, named for "Wicked Felina" in the Marty Robbins' song "El Paso." Pancho is named, of course, for Pancho Villa. Although it could be "Pancho and Lefty," it isn't.
Note in the second Tweet it isn't the actual number of jobs discussed. It's that the number failed to meet predictions.
I venture to suggest if we used that standard in our daily lives the divorce rate would be even higher than it already is.
It was the only videogame series where I had take notes!
My Lassie also hollers from butthurt when she thinks the cat is usurping her authority (a certain "lilt"in her bark/yelp)
The Internet is a wonder to be sure, horrifying in its infinite grasping, but admirably wonderful in its potential intimacies.
The residents of the The Villages in Florida certainly do...
Would the hat be all in bright red with white letters?
If so, where will it be made?

Pancho and Felina came back from a few days at the dog hotel with the cutest little howl.
Yes he did. Don't shoot the messenger.
how sweet, you have a dog named "Felina"?
The GOP's reactions indicate that they heard it too.
That's what Econ 101 teaches.
