    "Trump’s much-hyped ‘job boom’ is fake news: 2017 was the worst year for job creation since 2011"

    "During his presidential campaign, Donald Trump promised he’d be the “greatest jobs president God ever created.” And as his administration has become increasingly embroiled in scandal during the first year of his presidency, Trump has routinely fallen back on bragging about the allegedly unbelievable job creation he’s overseen."

    "But there’s just one problem — according to the latest jobs data, 2017 saw the most anemic job growth in America since Obama’s first term, when the economy was pulling out of the Great Recession he inherited from George W. Bush."

    Must be the President thought those missing million from his Inaguration were now working

    Love or hate The Donald, the economy is surging. When the tax cuts manifest, a clearer picture will be evident.

    Kinda funny seeing a conservative talk unemployment rates, two years ago it was all labor participation rates, unemployment rates were "cooking the books," and that automation didn't start in January of last year

    "The Donald" inherited a surging economy, his accomplishment so far is not blowing it

    Yes, good point. Labor participation rates is probably more indicative than the standard unemployment rate.
