Jobs? What jobs?
Our government keeps telling us that the economy is great, wonderful, booming.
You know, like best in the history of the world, to borrow one of President Trump’s most overused encomiums.
That must mean Trump thinks the U.S. Labor Department report Friday saying the U.S. economy added just 75,000 jobs in May, a significant pullback from 224,000 jobs added in April, is likely another Deep State hoax, right?
No. Despite the highly touted, five-decade low unemployment rate of 3.6%, May’s new jobs number is but an echo of some other less-than-cheery economic figures we’ve seen lately – even before Trump’s mercurial talk of escalating the trade war began.
