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.

And big productivity gains after the stagnant Obama years.
It didn't take a businessman very long to find the "magic wand" that the Obama Administration couldn't find in 8 years.
Trump MUST be taken DOWN !
Things are going waaaaaaaay too well.
In spite of Democrats' and their complicit media roadblocks.
For Sure !
Democrats Don't Like "Good" ! They need "Bad" to survive !
Candice Owens : “While the Left is being tethered down by hate and envy and greed, we are being brought together with this movement of patriotism, a love for our country, and a love for God.”
A Good economy and "Minorities" actually gaining, makes you sick ?
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.
Is that the face of Democrats when they realize that the economy is doing better?
More like this:
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.

You know, I just can't help it if you think the economy is doing poorly.
Some folks think that rising wages and very low unemployment is a good thing.
Say, you aren't one of those who think unemployment is so low because everyone is working two or three jobs, are you?
BTFW, are we moving to the economy under Obama now?
I could have sworn this article was about the economy under Trump.
Unless you think Obama is still in office?
I know, the good news is enough to make a liberal wretch.
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.
Oh, I read your cute little chart.
WTF does any of that have to do with today's unemployment numbers?
Well, isn't it special you think so?
I don't understand why anyone would be unhappy in today's economy.
Didn't deny that, now did I? Why do you keep doing that? If I MEANT to say something, I SAY it. Stop trying to pull that crap with me--I told you I don't allow that.
Perhaps had you read the article, you would know that wages are rising--faster now than in a long time. Of course, it might not be fast enough for you, and I am sure in your mind it must all be Trump's fault--even though the numbers have improved since Obama left office.
Isn't it rather weird that any American would be complaining so bitterly over today's economy?
It is rather amusing when someone tries to prove their own point and proves ours instead, and then refuses to even admit it!
You know that some have a screw loose when they talk about a guaranteed income for all versus putting people to work.
Their hatred of all things Trump seems to cloud their objectiveness.
When people complain about the economy today, they aren't doing so in any rational way.
but, times have changed, those jobs are no coming back... LOL
looks like deagel will have to update their projections... LOL
seems the globalists in the US Department of Defense, Department of State, CIA, World Bank and European Union. thought we are going to lose over 100 million people in the next 6 yrs.
hillary would have helped them complete the plan to shit-hole our nation.
now? let's just say their plans for us? have been trumped
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."
