If Hillary had won, the unemployment rate wold be 50% at least.
NY Times and CNN report: “Trump employment numbers don’t improve.”
The working mans’ “Magic Wand” President does it again.
Business is great and jobs are everywhere.
Get lost Bayrack. You little twit of a luzer.
3.5% unemployment is probably as good as it will get. I’m guessing that’s about the percentage of the population that don’t want to work, ain’t gonna work, and wouldn’t be worth a shit even if forced to work. In other words, damn near everybody that wants to work is working with DJT at the helm.
This figure also includes people who are temporarily between jobs because they are looking to improve their situation, and those who have moved to a new location and are just getting into the search mode. There will always be some “unemployed” who are in that transition mode.
