The U.S. economy gained 2.5 million jobs in May and the unemployment rate dropped to 13.3 percent. That’s down from 14.7 percent in April, according to the monthly employment report released Friday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The surprising data comes amid the phased reopening of businesses across the country after months of economic pain from the coronavirus pandemic, which pushed up unemployment to Great Depression-era levels and obliterated all job gains since the Great Recession.

This will cause PoliTalker to have to visit his shrink today.

He cheered the economic loss to millions of Americans and their families caused by the virus from China that China failed to contain.
 
This thread demonstrates again why the cult supports Trump. Trump's first reaction to this was to tweet about his election opponent. He didn't tweet about the potential impact on the economy. Nope. He immediately went on the attack, making up yet another imaginary slight to his tiny little ego.
 
awesome.
The Trump economy was so structurally sound the V shaped recovery happened.. everyone had expected a plateau .
But the destruction from the riots has greatly damage many small business nationwide - mean less hiring and employment going forward..God Speed the recovery

Indeed!
 
The president and his family are personally attacked daily, hourly, by the media.

If you expect him not to respond, you are a fool.

No we wont. This is April data. We only decided to start pillaging our major cities in May. Its hard to see employment recovering after the sacking of New York, Minneapolis, and other major cities.
 
Black unemployment rate is at 16.8%, whoop-de-do?!! And Hispanic unemployment rate is 17.6%?!! Nothing to celebrate?!! Remember we lost over 100,000 small businesses that are gone for good too?!!

Well, that's on Trump.

Can't ignore a problem like unequal justice for the citizenry for so long & just hope for the best...
