The US economy has added jobs in each and every month without fail since October 2010.
This can’t be the first time you have heard this.
Hardly a stall for 8 years. We started adding jobs not long after Obama came into office, and the continuous streak of jobs gains that continues today began less than two years into Obama’s first term. This feat is remarkable considering that in late 2008 and early 2009 we were losing jobs at a rate of 700,000+ per month.
The report is fine, but that three cent wage increase is bad. We’re only at 2.9% year on year wage growth and at 3.5% unemployment it should be higher.
To be precise, the labor participation rate wasn’t faked and became the most important metric until 1/21/2017 whereupon it was promptly forgotten and never uttered again by conservatives.
