Thank you.

Wonder why it’s not getting more happy happy posts?

You should be happy with what you’ve got. Libs aren’t pretending that the feds are cooking the books, so you’re getting better feedback than we saw under Obama’s extended economic recovery.

Forcefield:

The economy is important and I’m glad it’s going well, but better paying blue collar jobs aren’t much good in the long term if we are on the verge of a trade war or a far worse type of war.

“but”

You can’t be happy happy today?

His poll number would shoot up 10 points or more if he only shuts the ■■■■ up.

And you add in no tweeting another 30.

The best way to add more Trump voters is to turn back the clock and increase the number of voters who only finished high school—or didn’t.

Ah, there we go…

The implication of the Pew poll was obvious.

I am extremely happy with the growth rate of blue collar jobs as described in the article. I’m just wondering why you libs aren’t.

Thanks Obama.

Job growth is a good thing.

Same as I said under Obama.

There you go.

LOL. Did you see “0-1”?

Starting pay for a plant operator in Texas is about $25/hour.

It does it by region, and that is not a laborer obviously

All I can tell you is what I know. What I’m telling you is how it is here.

Not one minimum wage job.

How much is a minimum wage job equate to as an annual salary?

WuWei · 2018-09-15T21:55:25.338Z

Materials handler isn’t a laborer?

Thanks Obama.

I’m as happy about this news as I was when we reached this level in 2014 under Obama.

We didn’t. This is the best growth rate in 30 years. It’s in the article.

You don’t seem happy.

conan · 2018-09-16T01:54:25.693Z

It taken Obama 6 years just to get back what was lost.

I’ve actually looked at the data rather than just read an article. Dec 2014 was less than one tenth of a percentage point lower than July 2018 (3.183% vs 3.273%). And August already dipped below the Dec 2014 and Jan 2015 numbers. You know the difference between the 2014 and 2018 numbers? About 4166 jobs a month.

As I said, I’m as happy as I was in 2014 when the numbers where immaterially different.
