Good news! Thank you private sector!
That looks like a number that’s going up… not down.
Stellar try though.
Overheated economy and all that.
Great news!?!?!
Still far below pre-pandemic, if a ton of people drop out of the workforce, what happens to UE rates? And is it something to crow about?

Yes great news.
If we need to find a negative side to the story I guess we could say. . . it is a little disturbing how far off it was from Wall St estimates, but yess jobs added is a good thing.

Yes, Trump’s tax cuts are still working.

Let’s remember, though, that no matter what the numbers may say, this country has still been utterly destroyed in a matter of just two years. It’s utter devastation. And I will make sure everybody knows this, especially on the internet.
