http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article...uring-jobs-january-lost-10000-government-jobs U.S. Gained 5,000 Manufacturing Jobs in January, Lost 10,000 Government Jobs Over the past year—from January 2016 to January 2017—the United States added 162,000 government jobs, while losing 46,000 manufacturing jobs, according to BLS numbers. In the one month from December 2016 to January 2017, manufacturing jobs rose from 12,336,000 to 12,341,000—for an increase of 5,000. At the same time, government jobs dropped from 22,286,000 to 22,276,000—a decline of 10,000. However, over the past year--from January 2016 to January 2017--the number of people employed in government in the United States climbed from 22,114,000 to 22,276,000—an increase of 162,000. During the same January-to-January time period, the number of people employed in manufacturing dropped from 12,387,000 to 12,341,000—a decline of 46,000.
Net loss of 5,000 jobs for the month. So extrapolating that out, I can expect after 4 years for Trump to have lost 240,000 jobs! j/k btw for anyone taking me seriously.
We gained 225,000 jobs. We gained 5,000 of those as manufacturing ones. The good news is manufacturing jobs are up and government jobs are down. The unemployment rate went up because people who were not looking were counted as employed (effectively). Now they're looking, so the workforce is bigger. 225,000 is not good enough, but it's a start.
http://www.forbes.com/sites/maggiem...-s-added-227000-jobs-in-january/#293478ff7b76 Job Growth Beats Expectations: U.S. Added 227,000 Jobs In January Employers in the U.S. added 227,000 non-farm jobs in January, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported on Friday. The unemployment rate inched up to 4.8%, from 4.7%. Economists were projecting 175,000 jobs added. The BLS said that job gains occurred in the areas of retail trade, construction, and financial activities. Peter Tchir, a managing director at Brean Capital, said in a note Friday morning that while the headline number significantly outpaced the official economist consensus, "the 'whisper' seemed to be at least 200,000" on Wall Street. This may have been driven by the stronger-than-expected report from payroll provider ADP, which on Wednesday reported that private payrolls added 246,000 jobs in January.
If I am reading what you have up above though, the 225,000 jobs was gained between January 2016 and January 2017? Is that right? Edit: Ok, and now I am looking at your second posted story. Having a tough time reconciling the two, unless the first one was strictly looking at manufacturing jobs and government jobs only, whereas the second was looking at total jobs overall. Maybe that's it. I'm no economist, as you might be able to tell.
He's bad because he knows everything. Swamp you know. Devos is bad because she isn't from the swamp. I just wish they'd pick one reason to bitch.
No, we gained 145,000 jobs Obama's last month. 225,000 Trump's first month. Some will give Obama credit, which is fine. 225,000 isn't good enough. Manufacturing jobs gained are a fraction of the 225,000. The 225,000 includes the 10,000 government jobs lost. The point of the story is that manufacturing is coming back and government is shrinking. Both good things.
The swamp is every politician in office during the campaign last year. That is who needs to go. Reps and Dems alike. Single terms and then out.
Draining the swamp unfortunately is just unleashing the creature from the black lagoon onto the public
But we have to drain the swamp before we fill the swamp so we know what to fill the swamp with before we drain it.
