WAVES OF PAIN!!!!!!!!

Average hourly earnings rose by 3.1% from a year ago, slightly above the 3% expected by economists polled by Dow Jones.

54,000 gain in manufacturing.

But studies show 9 out of 10 children experience food insecurity on a daily basis. This economy benefits only the top 10th of one percent.

And we still don't have free world leading healthcare like they do in Liverpool.

This economy still sux.

54,000 gain in manufacturing.

41,300 of that is because the strike at GM ended. Those aren't new jobs. Those are workers who were on strike returning to work.

Was that pointed out in the piece? If not it should have been.

Nevertheless, seems like talking down the economy is partisan, yes?

Was that pointed out in the piece?

Yes.

I have more work now than I can possibly handle. But in California, your phone stops ringing at the drop of a hat.

Moreover, assuming strikes are always a part of the equation, and counted on both ends, it evens out.

The Oct job report shocked the economic experts because of how robust despite the GM strike. Now the Nov naysayers are because of the end of the strike created the good numbers. . Yeah, Gotcha. Biggest news from Nov., lowest unemployment since 1969 (50 years). Let's see the Libs spin that.

The numbers are good but I still won't vote for the turd.

Trump's trade war is damaging the economy and hindering investment and his tax cut is blowing up the deficit pretty spectacularly. These are facts. Righties just cannot wrap their little heads around the idea that the economy is not binary, it can be doing ok under policies preventing it from doing better.

Like the Dem's candidates "everything is free" (student loans, medical coverage, housing, etc etc). I'm pretty sure the US voters will see a viable Democratic candidate that can actually be elected sometime in the late 20's, once someone purges the DNC.
