Fact check: 'Record' job gains still leave the U.S. labor market in worse shape than Great Recession.

On the last night of his party’s convention, President Trump bragged about “record” job gains in recent months, but the 9.1 million jobs he touts come with some qualifiers.

The nearly 2 million jobs added in July also represent a sharp slowdown from the almost 5 million jobs added in June. “It still has a long way to go, and risks falling back in as the pandemic continues to rage and causes more layoffs and curtails hiring,” he said.Trump usually includes new material in major speeches. Not tonight.one of the longest convention speeches in modern history.

You suck. This headline is lazy at best. Really it’s a lie. You keep helping liars and criminally negligent monsters stay in power, when you refuse to take this seriously and report accurately. Shame on NBC

RNC what a job, nothing compares.

How’s your fact-check report coming along on Harris’ lie-laced speach from the other night? How about the report from the DNC convention?

Remember when fact checking Biden? Just kidding, they didn't.

Fact check: I don't get my news from NBC News because you are biased Trump haters and only report negative news (mostly made up, or altered) about Trump & conservatives. Shame on you for not being objective!

Economic conditions are DIRECTLY related to governors decisions to shut down their states. Remember, Dem governors told Trump to stay out...until they needed help.

Without looking at the bottom numbers where did Trump start and Obama end their presidencies?

Most are jobs re-opened rather than new jobs.

During a pandemic! Before that fake news network.

Are you saying that we needed TRUMP back then but we need him more now If so I AGREE!

That tends to happen when Democrat Governors and Mayors say your job is non-essential and forcibly shut you down....

NOW THIS IS A FACT AMERICANS ACROOS THE BOARD CARE ABOUT AND THIS IS UNDER TRUMP’s AMERICA😡😡😡😡😡

Right. But record job gains is not a lie. Anyone can twist anything. Amazing how it’s always Trump and not you.

So whom is checking these biased fact checkers?

So he caused a record loss and and then tries to take credit for a record gain that is still elow the Great Recession. Bottle of snakeoil anyone!

Pandemic! We are lucky to have any job growth.

donald is lying as usual. is anyone surprised about that?

How do you “fact-check” a pathological liar? 🤷🏼‍♂️ Trump lies so much, it’s quite normal to presume that EVERYTHING he says is a lie. At least, I do. 💁🏽‍♂️

Today was orchestrated by the spin doctors, trying to redesign this man as one with a personality and empathy, character Fraud, any one who accepts this spin is a fool. He’s an angry man but was reigned in by Aides. Very nasty, total lies, and misinformation, incredulous, Fake

And it's going to hit in a few months 'the likes of which the world has never seen' as the worthless and morbidly obese Donald likes to say.

Give it a rest. Nothing flourishes during a Pandemic!

All Media who are pro lockdown have no rights to complain about the economy and the unemployment. That includes you.

9 million jobs in 3 months wow democrats could never do that. Just ship the jobs to China

Constitution: You Can’t Use WH for Campaigning. Trump: 👎🏼 Covid crisis: We Need Consistent Messaging. Trump: 👎🏼 Race crisis: We Need to be Heard. Trump: 👎🏼 Spot the trend? What country was this RNC even held in? It ain't America2020 Trump RNC Gaslighting Dictator

Fuck... why did I start following you

Need to stimulate the economy. Republicans gave money to the rich and they then put it in their pockets. Also need to tax corporate saving and put money into infrastructure spending.

.... Because of the China Virus

NBCNewYork 'GAINS'

Today was another 3 hours of lies, misinformation, deception and truly manipulated communication.

Fact check: The news fact checks are spins. Have always been.

Sorry but the fact you won't investigate and report on how corrupt Joe and Hunter are makes you obviously partisan. So pardon me while I ignore your lame partisan 'fact' checking.

Trump =

Well democrats said shut America down then blame it on trump for no jobs. Hypocrisy is insane from left

Does this kind of headline work with anyone other than a completely unhinged Trump hater. You might want to mention we are in the middle of a global pandemic

Fact Check :DNCWooooHanVirus

LMAO maybe because we kind of just got over a global pandemic and shit down our economy.

Trump hate will win 2020Election. Liberals are to dumb to band together and win. They don't know what they stand for. See 2016election

Trump’s lack of strategy

BS! Your hate is so disgusting and transparent The news is NOT news, only democrat party propaganda filled with hate, spin, distortions, and lies There is NO credibility in today's 'news'. It is all propaganda with a political agenda gokickrocksandpoundsand

the mob will come for you.

What are facts anymore? I thought the realDonaldTrump abolished all facts in 2016.

Family Affair of Corruption Frank Biden: $5B Hunter Biden: $3.5B James Biden: $500mil Ashley Biden: $180K If this was the Trump family this would be airing on ever media network 24/7

US forces rammed in Syria? Bounties on US soldiers in Afghanistan? Harassment of US Air Force? There's a dark reason Trump can't stand up to Putin on anything ... he sold his soul. 🇷🇺 GOPconvention MAGA2020Landslide MAGA CNN COVID FoxNews
