The New York Times is hoping we won’t see the forest for the trees. Three months of 200,000 jobs created each month is according to them the WEAKEST months of jobs growth of the Joe Biden‘s presidency. 200,000 jobs created in a month is great! And these beltway media scumbags used to say as much under Trump.
The real story: Job growth slows after unprecedented gains, further easing inflation fears.
The New York Times: April, May and June are now officially the weakest three-month stretch of job growth in Biden’s presidency.
Somewhere, in that fucking recipe clearance house there's a memo that says "every story MUST be framed as bad news and cast blame on the Biden administration." The next thing you know, crappy Broadway musicals of mediocre 90's TV shows are gonna be Biden's fault.
"The report is decent news for President Biden, whose tenure has coincided with 42 months of consecutive job gains.'
'Coincided'?!? He just *happened* to be in the Oval Office when all this jerb creatin' was happening all by itself... wow, what an unrelated coincidence!
Sigh. To be fair, it stated with job recovery as vaccines were rolled out, so it wasn't "policy" at first but simply "competence." But that WAS three years ago, I'm pretty sure policy has taken over as the driving force since then.
"The number for April was also revised downward by 57,000, meaning that the last three months represent a slightly cooling jobs picture that could convince the Federal reserve that inflation has slowed enough to reduce interest rates."
Ahhh, Capitalism. The economic structure wherein it's promised that every worker has the ability to move upward and earn higher wages, but the moment workers actually start to DO that, inflation skyrockets due to corporate greed and the Fed ALWAYS responds by either jacking up interest rates to FURTHER increase the cost of living, or recommends MASSIVE job cuts.
Except Americans can't be bothered with facts. Literally (poll number) HALF of Americans believe unemployment is the HIGHEST it's been in 50 years, not the lowest.
Are you looking for some specialized job? If not, where do you live?
There are a lot of jobs where I live. My daughter was interviewed to drive a hearse for the local funeral home. It’s been an interest of hers since she was little, and now she has her license. Starting pay is $18 per hour, same as the grocery store.
Look into northern Virginia. Summer and winter are both only bad for about 6 weeks. Very highly educated populace. Only down side is Wonkette/Rebecca never has a party down here. She might think we’re still Confederates.
I hope this is true. I’m trying to do my part make sure my fellow white women do not screw this up. Trying to spread the concern around project 2025 wherever I can with them. A rate cut would be amazing
Expansionary policies prove expansionary... just like post 2008 crash contractionary policies proved contractionary. Rethug fascistii are not good at math, econ, or jobs.... including their own jobs.
For those who remember the Smothers Brothers show, Pat Paulsen dead is a better choice than Trump alive. He deserves to have the honor of being the first dead person elected president!
I was 12 in the summer of 78 so I don't count in the teenage jobs rate, but I did have a paper route!
I was also 12.that was the year my parents started enslaving me in the family business for a few hours a week.
Do they include paper routes in the job count?
Ta, Dok. Professor Prettypaws, too.
Fucking A - we’re comparing our current situation to teenage jobs in 19-fucking-78?!?
It may be more a comment on Kids These Days.
The Fed artificially is keeping interest rates up to hurt Biden, even though we're down to 3.3%, and most analysts consider 2% to 3% to be good.
You'll have to wait until Sunday for your cakes.
It's actually chocolate mousse this month, but I'm sure you won't hold that against me.
Obligatory
A mousse once bit my sister.
She was probably Karving her initials on the møøse with the sharpened end of an interspace tøøthbrush…
Did she bite it back?
Knowing her, she bit first.
RIP, Joy…

This gem in the WaPo story:

Panic in the streets, catatonic in the sheets.

Such a PERFECT system.
Panglossian I guess.

As someone who’s been unemployed since February, don’t go on about how “great” the job numbers are or I will sit out this election out of spite.
Those numbers don’t fucking include me.

The June jobs report is “Joe Biden is old”.
And, the economy added “Joe Biden is old” number of jobs.
Trump's authoritarian game plan is breaking through the post-debate noise and it's starting to scare people
https://www.salon.com/2024/07/05/project-2025-was-supposed-to-boost-donald-campaign--but-it-may-be-backfiring-instead/
This explains why Trump claimed he had no idea what Project 2025 is or who was behind it.
Yup, and if he's elected he'll brag it was all his idea from the beginning.
Faster faster, louder louder!
Pussycat... kill KILL!

It's the quiet part out loud. They really think they're unbeatable, now.
They're all deranged.
Among the most pathetic denial I have ever seen is the chudosphere falling all over itself trying to dismiss 15 million new jobs as "bounceback" jobs.
I guess the "bounceback" is from the "democrat hoax" pandemic
Economic prosperity via Keynesian economic policies overseen by an exceptionally experienced, knowledgeable Democratic POTUS.
This is the sort of trinity that strengthens my faith in the future of this republic.
Expansionary policies prove expansionary... just like post 2008 crash contractionary policies proved contractionary. Rethug fascistii are not good at math, econ, or jobs.... including their own jobs.
I was five in 1978. My focus was mostly on Muppets.
I wasn't born nor thought of, Comrade Mom and Running Dad mostly being focused on him not dying that year, and my focus is still Muppets.
I was four and in all fairness my focus is still mostly on Muppets
I was 16 but yeah muppets.
Kermit & Miss Piggy 2024!!! -NYT
Would vote that ticket over Republicans
For those who remember the Smothers Brothers show, Pat Paulsen dead is a better choice than Trump alive. He deserves to have the honor of being the first dead person elected president!
