Playing Politics With The Economic Numbers, Record 155M Employed In June

World Events and the Bible

WEB Notes: I have noticed a disturbing trend by those on the right side of the fence since Trump became the President. For the most part, he can do no wrong. You will notice the media is touting these employment numbers as well, a media who many say is completely against Trump. You should know those who control the mainstream media control both sides of the argument, this is by design. On the softer side of the matter Obama was certainly not a good President, though I never read about those on the “right” praising him for the economy, yet the “official” numbers say the economy improved…

Instead, people all said the numbers were fake, but now the numbers for Trump are real. Sounds like a double standard.

In any case, here are the job numbers and note the graphic that we attached here. You will notice during the Obama years the job numbers increased dramatically as well.

My point here is we all need to think for ourselves and remove ourselves from this left verse “right” mentality.

As for this news piece they say employment is at record highs, yet we still have 95 million working age Americans out of the labor force. In case you are wondering, the pool of workers aged 16 and up is 257 million.

On another note, we should be reminded it is not government who creates jobs. I recall many of the right outraged when Obama made that claim years ago, but when Trump does it, we wave our flags and pump our fists. How easily we are misled.

It is red blooded Americans who create jobs by coming up with brilliant ideas. It is big government who tends to get in the way and stop progress through excessive taxation, wars or other economic restrictions.

BLS Job Statistics July 2018

(You can find the graphic above in the BLS official report.)

“Our economic policy can be summed up in three very simple but beautiful but beautiful words,” President Donald Trump told a rally in Montana Thursday evening: “Jobs, jobs, jobs,” he said.

On Friday, the Labor Department’s Bureau of Labor Statistics said the economy added 213,000 jobs in June, a strong number; the number of employed Americans, 155,576,000, set its tenth record of the Trump presidency; but the number of unemployed Americans (which includes people who are actively looking for jobs) increased by almost half-a-million. The unemployment rate increased two tenths of a point to 4.0 percent.

  1. You should already know better than to believe anything from our “government”, or the pollsters who seek to create consensus by claiming it already exists.

    The problem is the tube. People swear they’re not influenced by it, but the TV sets out the non-issues for debates, and provides faulty information to fuel them. And the idiots argue over what the TV tells them to argue about, always missing what’s important.

  2. Even if I wasn’t a cripple…
    Why the hell would I want a “JOB”?
    JUST TO BE FURTHER VICTIMIZED?
