FILE - In this Oct. 1, 2019, file photo, Gory Rodriguez, of Starbucks, right, interviews a job applicant during a job fair at Dolphin Mall in Miami. The January U.S. jobs report on Friday, Feb. 7, 2020, may provide timely evidence of the U.S. economy's enduring health.
The government’s monthly jobs report signaled that businesses remain confident enough to keep hiring, with the pace of job growth accelerating from a year ago. Solid consumer spending is offsetting drags from the trade war and declining business investment.more evidence for his argument that the economy is flourishing under his watch.
Unusually warm weather likely played a role in strengthening the pace of hiring in January, with construction companies adding 44,000 jobs, the most since last year. Better winter weather allows more construction projects to proceed. The revisions also lowered February 2019’s job gain from 56,000 to just 1,000. That revision barely maintained the record-long streak of hiring that began after the Great Recession and has now reached 112 months.
Are you sure this isn't a false statement Democrats said it is
This is MAGA!
Thanks Trump! Why would we screw this economy up with a Democrat!?
Yes and remember that the final totals for 2019 were off by 500,000 fewer jobs than reported. The lies from this administration continue.
Is it a FT job or PT? Because, honestly, it's time for America to admit that creating thousands of PT jobs ISN'T solving our economic crisis. Folks are educated & underemployed. They're working 2 jobs to make ends meet. It's insane! PEOPLE NEED FT JOBS & BENEFITS TO THRIVE!
Florida has jobs, also hundreds of applicants trying to get that one job
Yet, us Millennials are still less likely to achieve better life than our own parents. Low unemployment numbers dont mean anything if the jobs being offered are shit in pay
Actually unemployment was unchanged..not up
Should we trust the accuracy of government figures in the age of trump?
Wow! Great job President Trump!
What about the types of jobs (part-time, full-time)? And are these jobs permanent or temporary? What are the wages? Are they second or third jobs to make ends meet? How many of those newly employed are working below their qualifications/past job history? What about 55+ workers?
MORE: Notable gains occurred in the fields of construction, health care, transportation and warehousing, according to latest jobs report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
And Trump doesn't even have the 0% interest rates and nonstop QE pump priming to create the fake numbers Obama generated!
History repeats itself
Why does anyone believe these numbers coming out of the IMPOTUS administration?
Abc. Report update on Joe's brother frank please. We will wait.
How many people live in a hefty city ? numbers don't match
Thankyou President Trump 🇺🇸
Are we sure the Trump's appointee, William Beach, is impartial? The vote to confirm him was 55-44 with Democrats expressing concern that he would be impartial.
Democrats hardest hit.
