2/ Via Simon Rosenberg:

253,000 new jobs

33.8m jobs =16 yrs Clinton, Obama
12.7m jobs = 27 mos Biden
1.9m jobs = 16 yrs Bush, Bush, Trump

GDP growth under Biden running at 3x rate as Trump. Jobs created at 50x rate under Biden as under last 3 Rs. Trump saw net job loss on his watch. Sad!

3.4% unemp rate lowest in peacetime US since WWII. Majority of Americans have never exper unemp rate this low.

Biden is 3rd straight D Pres to see substantial decline in unemp rate..up under last 3 Rs.

GOP: that's not fair! The only reason Dems create so many jobs is because we killed them.

Dems: ...

GOP: err, wait...

Obviously economic conditions are complex, and there are real issues like inflation, but .... it drives me nuts to see supposedly objective news outlets just casually drop references to a "shaky" economy, or to talk about an impending recession as though it's a certainty .... while paying very little attention to numbers like these.

Bottom Line:

• Lowest unemployment rate in 50 years
• Lowest youth unemployment rate in 60 years
• Lowest unemployment for Black workers on record
• Median wages have outpaced inflation over past year

I'm curious...are labor quits & discharges deducted from the jobs created tally? I can't find any data that confirms or denies it. The data from the bureau of statistics is unclear on it.
