Job Growth Mediocre in May, Job Estimates Revised Downward for March and April​


U.S. payroll growth slowed modestly in May as employers added 139,000 jobs amid uncertainty about President Trump's sweeping import tariffs, federal government layoffs and immigration crackdown.

The unemployment rate held steady at 4.2%, the Labor Department said Friday.

Before the report’s release, economists surveyed by Bloomberg estimated that 125,000 jobs were added last month.

Job gains for March and April were revised down by a combined 95,000, portraying a weaker labor market that believed in late winter and early spring. March's total was downgraded from 185,000 to 120,000 and April's, from 177,000 to 147,000.

There were more jobs than predicted. Unemployment remains good.
 
Sometimes Doctors tell patients their cholesterol isn't quite as bad as expected.

Trump is underperforming compared to Biden on jobs creation.
More like telling a patient the cholesterol is better than expected.

A lot of Biden's jobs were the Federal government increasing in size. Trump is decreasing the size of the Federal government.

Federal govt employees make up almost 2%of the entire work force. It doesn't sound like much until you realize that's 3 million people and on top of that learn that lots of them couldn't respond to an email asking them to tell what they did the previous week.

Thanks for admitting job growth under Trump is close to anemic.

17 million jobs were created in four years under Biden*. You will never be able to make the case most of them were civil service jobs.


* compared to three million jobs lost in Trump's first term

COVID The Democrat govenors shut down their states. The COVID vaccine Trump got produced in record time helped get those states reopened and people working again.

Their bosses - who are Trump appointees - told them not to respond .

And for good reason. Musk is a drug-addled mentally unstable kook, who even your Messiah Trump admits has lost his mind.

He had no business mass emailing the Federal work force and making that kooky demand. Those people already have bosses they answer to.

Argument from randU fallacies. Biden didn't create any jobs, not even in government.
