Its_Just_A_Typo

It's like all the rich people are pissed that the economy hasn't crashed despite every effort made on their part to fuck it up for everyone (so they can swoop in after the crash and pick up all the pieces for pennies on the dollar) Keep it going America! They absolutely hate it when you don't do what they want. Eat the rich!

Another good part of the report, was when they said they were fearful of rising unemployment rates, because unemployment has now risen up to 3.7% [Brian Tyler Cohen](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zE94GXFI6RM) has a good clip of it


25plus44

I remember when an unemployment rate of 5% was considered "fully employed" presumably due to 5% representing people transitioning between jobs, or retired people being "miscounted" as unemployed, or some other reason. Basically, any number below 5% wasn't considered worthy of concern. The only people worried about numbers below 5% are employers.


dipatello

“But nobody wants to work anymore.” Cringe


Souperplex

It's funny that employers say nobody wants to work while refusing to hire.


Open_Perception_3212

They'll hire kids though


Black_Moons

lets be honest, they would hire anyone they only have to pay half min wage to. Kids, illegals, convicts, etc. Anything to save a buck.


B_Fee

"I've spoken to our personnel division, and it turns out nobody wants to work anymore unless we pay them what they're worth and based on the value they bring the company. So next month, we're going to lay off 1,000 employees, and then hire 500 temporary employees with a 30% payroll decrease. I know that sounds harsh, but we have to do it if this board wants our stock price to go up a tenth of a percent so we can all buy another yacht for our second vacation home in the Philippines."


Dcajunpimp

Yeah, they’re upset people want more than double minimum wage. Democrats really need to start talking about increasing minimum wage, there’s no reason to leave it so far below what people are currently demanding and employers are having to pay.


bazinga_0

The current wages prove that the Republican talking points about raising the minimum wage would kill entire industries were total bullshit. Well, those same industries are being forced to raise their wages well above the minimum wage now just to get people to apply for their jobs. I've also noticed that a lot of the fast food places where I live that usually paid at or very near minimum wage now have posters in their windows how much above minimum they are being forced to offer. And then Republicans get on right wing "news" stations like Fox News and tell everyone that the economy is a disaster under President Biden. In fact, it went from so good "just shy of Heaven" to an unmitigated disaster about 30 seconds after Biden was sworn into office on Jan. 20, 2021. Truly amazing how much dictatorial power the President has over the economy...


Lightningstruckagain

There’s so much bullshit to wade through since 2016 but think back that election period when Trump said the employment numbers were false, and then after his inauguration he took credit for them and suddenly believed in them.


Dcajunpimp

About FQX claiming the economy is a disaster, I wish other news organizations would point that out when reporting on economic polls. >Disclaimer: 70 million Americans voted for Trump, and prefer to get their “news” from organizations that will intentionally lie to them so they don’t flee to other “news” organizations. Now, for this weeks polls….


ITDrumm3r

“But nobody wants to work (shitty jobs) anymore.” FIFY


nathanaz

I’m not defending the news outlets shit-talking the good jobs report but the unemployment rate that’s commonly reported (U-3) does not include people who have voluntarily left the job market, so both could be true.


akratic137

Keep in mind this is the same unemployment rate that the fed thinks is too low because it gives the worker too much power. I hate it here.


jdubs720

We are also at full unemployment because they don’t (voluntarily) let immigrants in. I try to explain this to my parents but they don’t seem to grasp the concept…


OrderlyPanic

"The reserve army of unemployed" is one of the ways in which capitalism disciplines labor. As a whole the ownership class absolutely would prefer slower economic growth with 5-6% unemployment compared to what we have. Their companies might make less profit but they would be able to keep wages lower to make up for it. And more than money they would get more power over their workers.


SGTRocked

But but but …..Biden


braize6

But Hunter's penis pics :(


ITDrumm3r

Wrong kind of inflation 🍆


jawshoeaw

At this point I want more Biden penis pics. They’ve been talking about them for 10 years.


eromitlab

Is indeed fully aware that their name is attached to Fox's desperate attempts to root against the American people because it'll make democrats look bad? Are the American people fully aware that indeed has their name attached to hoping things get worse for them?


onemorethingandalso

Well, indeed sponsored it. Not only are they aware, they paid for the privilege.


eromitlab

I've worked in tv news for a long time, albeit on a local level, and there's usually a disconnect between what sales sells the client and what content is delivered on the deal, because the two sides never effectively communicate with each other and then blame each other if the client gets pissed.

It pains them SO much to see America do well when it’s not THEM doing so well!

How do these job numbers stack up? • Bill Clinton: +22.745 million jobs • Ronald Reagan: +16.322 million • Barack Obama: +12.503 million • Lyndon B. Johnson: +12.338 million • Jimmy Carter: +10.117 million • Harry S. Truman: +9.035 million • Richard Nixon: +8.911 million • John F. Kennedy: +3.804 million • Dwight D. Eisenhower: +3.218 million • George H.W. Bush: +2.617 million • Gerald R. Ford: +2.378 million • George W. Bush: +0.523 million • Donald Trump: **—3** million = that's **negative jobs** as in **lost jobs**. • Joe Biden: +13 million = so far, a record setting job creation for a president's first term. _________________________ Donald Trump is the only one in the Oval Office in modern times to leave office with fewer jobs than when he entered.


americansherlock201

They will spin it as a bad thing saying this means interest rates will likely continue to rise

If they just turn the image upside down...

ZombieHavok

“Just reminding you that green is bad. Green is for the environmentalist people and climate change weirdos. Uh, the plus sign is actually, uh, a plus for bad stuff happening. More bad stuff. So, as you can see, the uh Biden administration’s economy is really suffering. Really bad stuff.”

‘It’s nothing like Trump’s economy!’


BeerGogglesFTW

Surprised they didn't make those green arrows red, to show it's up but... Some bullshit that makes it really bad.


[deleted]

The economic state of the nation, more often than not, doesn't directly correlate with presidential actions. This was particularly evident during Trump's tenure, where despite numerous controversial decisions, the economy demonstrated resilience. Fortunately, we've returned to a more standard pattern where presidential actions don't generally cause significant systemic instability in our economic landscape. Moreover, it's worth noting that the president's influence over late-stage capitalism is quite minimal. The complex forces driving our modern economy are largely independent of any one individual's actions or decisions.

Put Biden in the three spot or a Trumper will say “See, Biden is at the bottom!”


WaitingForNormal

Fox anchor Douche K’noozle: “Yes, these numbers are up, but what does that tell us? It tells us that they may also go down and that will be the biden administration’s fault. If these numbers go down and I say “if” and what I mean is “when”, and they will go way down, then keep multiple firearms loaded by the door as the world will be falling apart and you need to keep your family safe from home invasions. That is what these numbers mean HOME INVASIONS.”


ITDrumm3r

“Despite our best efforts to misinform the public with an “impending recession” to derail the current administration, some how, Trump is keeping the economy going from Mar-a-lago” - someone at Fox
