Job growth is down 15% under conald

[UncleBuck]

obama averaged 220,000 new jobs per month

Conald is at only 190,000

And that is despite the fact that conald is spending like a drunken sailor while Obama lowered the deficit

 

[Unclebaldrick]

Kid fucking is up 23%

I'm sure they'll put him to work in prison.

That's because there is record low unemployment. LOL

The "unemployment" rate isn't a meaningful statistic anymore. If 96.5% of all eligible workers WERE employed, wages wouldn't be sucking toilet water. Better tells for how this economy is doing are: wage growth, which isn't growing and labor participation rate, which is only 62%. That number hasn't budged during Trump's years. Again, if unemployment were actually at record lows, wages would be growing because employers would have to compete for workers but they aren't.

Since labor force participation is down under conald, that just means less people are looking for work and more people have just given up

Obama was a better job creator than conald, and he did it without massive spending and increasing the deficit

Wages were growing under obama but conald put a stop to that

But at least he relieved us of the burden of paying for healthcare by kicking ten million people off their plans

Inmate Trump creates jobs like China pays tarrifs and Mexico pays for walls.

“Nine of out ten new jobs created in the last year have gone to those with a college degree, a finding showing the American economy’s growing reliance on a trained workforce as well as the changing demographics of the country.

A three-month average finds that 91% of the net increase in jobs held by those at least 25 years old are filled by those with at least a bachelor’s degree, according to data compiled by MarketWatch using the May jobs report released by the Labor Department on Friday.”

Guess you’re shit out of luck. Not much call for self-trained massage therapists. No telling how many of the remaining 10% of jobs are gig economy.

I found myself driving a truck again in 1989-1990. I met a couple of lawyers, a psychologist and an engineer who were driving trucks. The lawyers waiting to get on with a firm. The psychologist kept him from going nuts. Never could figure out the engeer. A lot of well read folks pushing those rigs. There were audiobooks out then and truckstops had places like Redbox. Drop one off and pick another up. I never could get into someone reading to me but a lot of those guys have listened to a lot of books.

I read books on my smartphone. I download entire catalogues. 2-3 books a week for about 5 years now. I just finished an excellent book by Doug Preston called "Lost City of the Monkey God" and it's the best book I have read this year.

I have been all up in that Honduran bush and it's some of the meanest terrain in the world. Highly recommend that book. Another book I read recently by another contributor to The New Yorker Magazine was "The 6th Extinction" by Elizabeth Kolbert.

I have an extra pair of tennis shoes in my truck, I get out and walk my dog when I'm stuck waiting. I'll look for places/things where I can exercise, pull ups, dips and push ups. I have a set of 40lb dumbbells that's going in the truck when winter gets here and it's too cold and shitty to be outside long
