Economy added 263,000 jobs in April, unemployment falls to lowest level since 1969
It’s still a job hunter’s market, with more open positions than people available to fill them, pushing wages even higher as companies compete for the best workers.

The economy added a healthy 263,000 jobs in April, firmly beating analyst expectations of 190,000, according to Friday’s monthly snapshot from the Department of Labor.

The nation's unemployment level fell to 3.6 percent, the lowest since December 1969, and average hourly earnings grew by 0.2 percent, for an annual gain of 3.2 percent, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

And big productivity gains after the stagnant Obama years.

Wall Street reacted positively to the jobs report, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average gaining 160 points at market open on Friday.

It didn't take a businessman very long to find the "magic wand" that the Obama Administration couldn't find in 8 years.

Interesting that you mentioned her. Democrats fear and despise her. See comment 5.1.4 for proof.

I recently watched this video of her.

What's REALLY funny about the "Left" and their HATE of Candice, Candice wasn't always a "Conservative. Candice was the CEO of the website Degree180.

I'll leave it up to the "Left" to look that one up. jrSmiley_13_smiley_image.gif

Is that the face of Democrats when they realize that the economy is doing better?

The knowledge that regardless of how much they bitch and moan, piss and whine, they will be seeing Donald Trump in the White House, sitting in the Oval Office until his last day in office in January 2025, when the next Republican can take the reins and guide this country to further prosperity and greatness.

If Dems continue to pompously grandstand instead of using their time to ask intelligent questions and eat fried chicken during congressional hearings, it will be a lonnnng time before one of them will sit behind the Resolute Desk.

Would you like me to repost the economic growth charts I posted on another seed?   It seems like most of you forget when Obama came into office and what the economy did under him.  Here's one.  And I'll be more than happy to find more.  So many to choose from.  The stock market first.

Can't read the chart?   I was showing you in pictures that Trump didn't do anything except continue to ride Obama's economic coattails, since its claimed that Trump fixed Obama's.  That is a lie and I just showed you Trump didn't fix squat. 

I know lots of Americans need more than one job because wages suck, are you denying that?  No, not everyone.  Have you checked out some of the jobs and their salaries available?  Wages haven't risen enough in decades (notice I didn't blame Trump alone).  They are still underwater and if you can show me what Trump did to raise wages, I'll take a look.

Can you people not read?  I've even posted charts to make it easy, and apparently even that is too much to wade through. I am speaking to what Trump inherited from Obama, since bullshit about how Trump changed it from Obama's keeps getting posted here.

I really hope I'm still living in 2020 to see the result of the 'media war on the administration vs the improved economy'.  Wasn't it Bush Sr. who said "Read my lips"?  Was it he who said "It's the economy, stupid."
