Breaking Down The Last Jobs Report Of The Decade | Morning Joe | MSNBC
How many people are working two or three jobs to get by…
@Constituent A The unemployment rate was 4.8 % when he left office.
@Constituent A And I hated working in the summer when I was young.
I dont know any.
@Timothy Kozlowski LOL, so now you are adjusting your figure from 1.4% to 1.3%? Well, I’ll meet you halfway between your original claim and mine. It was 4.7%, making the drop 1.2%:

I feel for the kids that have to forgo furthering their education to help their folks keep a roof over their heads.
@k GioI know one from the Starbucks, that I go to.
Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, New Year.
Happy holidays?
Can I finally say “Merry Christmas” again? Such an important cultural issue. 🤣
Most of those people were hired in November.
Wages are still way below than what they should be.
“Today in the “rich people, poor folks” news…. The rich made an extra $500,000 to $2,400,000 this month…. The poor & working poor made an extra $0.25 to $0.35 this month which helped take millions off food stamps…. There will be no more poverty by the year 2021….”
mrs mucha mine wages are constantly going up. What are you doing wrong? You sound broke
Justin Figgins upward mobility is a choice. Do poor people more often vote democrat or republican? Maybe poverty is a social illness… With whom do you socialize?
TACO BELL IS NOW TRYING OUT GIVING THEIR GEN MANAGERS 6 FIGURE SALARIES.
This figure comes from the Trump administration, yes? And you believe it why? Just love lies, I guess.
It comes from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, not from Trump.
@DesignatedOperator So you say. And how many political appointees over there?
@George Hackett …. None. The workers there have been there since the Obama administration.
So we added low paying, temp jobs and lost the higher paying ones. Thanks a lot, Trump!!!
@W Towns i havent cried since i blew the engine in my 300zx turbo… 2001
Over the past 20 years, we’ve been teaching our kids less and less in school. They are not as analytical or logical as prior generations, and Millennials struggle to fill skilled workers jobs. We’ve raised a generation of dummies and we wonder why we lack skilled workers? Its not Trump’s fault, its started with Bush 43 in 2003 with the No Child Left Behind Act. This was passed to increase test scores for schools by making the test questions easier to answer rather than increasing education funds. We spent less on our kids educations and now we wonder why they are less capable than previous generations? It makes more sense that this happened over 20 years, not three. Its not Trump’s fault our kids are stupid!! But Stupid Americans also love vanity, fame, and popularity over dignity, integrity, and self-respect; so social morality in America has slipped alot, as well.
FAKE NEWS. YOU MUST BE A TYT OR SAM SEDER FAN.
All because of Obama of course. Smf.
Tidbit you mean after all our manufacturing jobs left the country and everyone went to work at McDonald’s or for the first time in our nation’s history that our credit rating fell (twice) or that the national debt doubled or that mean wages actually dropped during his eight years, also first in our history. You mean that guy. You are nuts.
@War Hawk 40% are Veterans. 🖕 Rotate teabaggr gaggr, and SWALLOW!!!
@James Campbell pen is pump broken again? Awwwww poor teabaggr gaggr, feels L I M P!!!!
LMFAO@U
@Tidbit right… barrys economy… right….
Good gosh
@k Gio Obama saved the world from economic ruin; Trump kicked 20 million Americans off health insurance. Case closed!
It’s very easy to inflate jobs numbers when people have to work 3 jobs to make ends meet.
Only 5% of workers work more than 1 job. Quit listening to AOC to get your economy facts. 😂
That only happened under obama and obamacare 🙂
Like in the Obama era .All those part timers.
Are wages up? Healthcare reform? Careful, they can use that with their base to justify cutting even more benefits that people need because of low wages and higher costs. 🧘☀️😶
*how many are part time retail jobs where your manager scheduels you 5 hours a week?*
Did you ask the same question when Obama was President?
“Today in the “rich people, poor folks” news…. The rich made an extra $500,000 to $2,400,000 this month…. The poor & working poor made an extra $0.25 to $0.35 this month which helped take millions off food stamps…. There will be no more poverty by the year 2021….”
@Timothy Kozlowski wait! They said this is barrys economy.
@k Gio It’s not.
Elephant In The Room WALMART IS THE LARGEST EMPLOYER IN THE COUNTRY, SO THERE THAT IS….
Jobs Creation is such a cheap metric. It’s utterly, utterly meaningless unless you quantify the data. How many of those jobs are full or part time? Seasonal, or permanent? Zero hours contract, or guaranteed work? A set salary, or commission-dependant? I could continue.
There’s also the issue of how the Trump administration inflates those numbers, which was demonstrated by the other part of the news report stating that prior job numbers all got reduced.
My 409k is making a killing right now. Bigly!
😆😅
Shut up, and rake your forest! 🌲 🌲 🌲 🌲 🌲 🌲 🌲 🤣
@Democracy Now Somebody should make the meme for that – bottle of Formula 409 in one hand and a rake in the other.
@Constituent A a meme lal. These kids today
@k Gio That’s the second time I have seen “lal” today, and I have no idea what it means. Can’t keep up with you youngsters!
@Constituent A haha! Well , at 48… i ll take the youngster label anytime! Lal is from a friend of mine , who like me… gets all these new fangled terms and words wrong. He thought “lol” meant , laugh-a-lot. So i now use lal instead of lol. Dumb silly useless story i just wasted your time on. I ll buy a corona for myself but will say you did . Have a nice weekend
Raise the minimum wage first!
*Then* celebrate new jobs.
States and cities are setting their own minimum wage all over the country.
Businesses are raising wages voluntarily under Trump.
Because after natural disasters if buildings where jobs have been are distroyed means people have to find new jobs and new places to live
So…. Wage increase didn’t include my family.
Food and fuel cost up.
I’ve seen no benefits from this economy.
Get a higher paying job then.
@15k DOW 2022 troll
@Red Street shut up troll
Just like trump I don’t believe these statistics. The stock market is rigged for the rich. I look at the deficit. This is disturbing!!!
Debra A. I look at my pay, going up and up. Are you broke or something?
More bad news for the Democrats, lol.
Red Street Another Lie red street swamp gas from Uranus. You got nothin. Weak balless liar just like trump
Wages are up 2.9% year over year, but the important thing, again, about the wage increases is where they are happening. They are happening at the lower end of the pay or wage scale.
Obama said you needed a magic wand i guess if your a guy that never had a real job
LOL
Great news. The Dow Jones hit 29,000 for the first time in history. Everyones’ 401(k) retirement account must be doing great!
DesignatedOperator For those who have 401 ks the rest of everyone else (and I mean the majority) it’s not.
None of these stats means a darn thing if the available jobs don’t provide a living wage. And they don’t.
