Great jobs report for September

Over 250,000 jobs added, unemployment down to 4.1%

But some people want to pretend America is a dystopian nightmare where immigrants are stealing all the jobs....

... and here's how that's bad for Harris.

Companies are hiring workers for the holiday season.

The numbers are seasonally adjusted, R2. Further, the gains came from hospitality and healthcare. Retail only accounted for 16k of the 254k report.

Try again.

"the gains came from hospitality and healthcare...."

In other words, more low paying McJobs being hotel desk clerks and cleaning bed pans.

Hopefully the eventual downward revision isn't too bad, because it'll look like Biden was cooking the numbers for Kamala.

Anyway, all is lined up for her economically, Helene notwithstanding. Obviously the voters will still inevitably be comparing the prices now with the prices from four years ago, can't do anything about that.

A month out from the election and a job is a job, R4, although I can't help but point out that some of these jobs are doctors, nurses, managerial and sales and not just clerical/menial. And at least these healthcare and hospitality jobs won't disappear in 3 months.

The last jobs report before the election.

^ My bad. November 1 is a Friday. That will be the last pre-election report.

Cool, so why are they cutting interest rates???

by Anonymousreply 9October 4, 2024 9:33 PM

Because high inflation has been tamed, R9.

Those are facts, OP. We are living in a post-fact world.

"How a Strong Jobs Report Means Certain Doom for Harris!"

Fantastic news. Way to go, Biden/Harris!

MAGAts are beside themselves on my local news page. Imagine being upset that the economy is doing well and unemployment has dipped to 4.1%.

[quote]Michelle Helmlinger-Blevins: The media needs to be fact checked!

[quote]Troy Vaden Jr: These numbers are total bullchit … all you have to do is look around !! This whole administration is bullchit !! Idiots !

[quote]Christopher Nix: Remember a couple months ago, when the media said, unemployment was 6%. Then it was established the unemployment rate was quite higher.

[quote]Eric Robertson: Gas goes down along with the unemployment rate…..must be election season. Go ahead liberal media, remind all of us how much better off than we were 4 years ago.

[quote]Jennie Hall: Try covering the incompetent administration that we have that have left Americans stranded with no help in the aftermath of Helene.... thankfully we have live coverage on TikTok.

[quote]Julia Dawson: This is the reported rate but look up the real rate and it’s more than 24%. They don’t include anyone who has given up or those working part time because the can’t find full time.

[quote]Sarah F Maitland: The left is a disgrace! People are Dying from the Hurricane while Joe and Kammy have once again shown their worthlessness. But if these people were illegals. And all you leftists who pearl clutched over Trump for the past 8 years now sitting silent.. you are vile hypocrites.

[quote]Cam Grant: MORE FAKE NEWS!! Why are fast food chains, factories , hospitals all still under staffed if the unemployment is that low ??? Guess no one told middle America that they are all working and all places of employment are full and nobody hiring , that is just your imagination telling you not to believe people are still not working! You know just like KOMMIALA is telling us she is ill fix all the problems when she gets elected because TRUMP CAUSED this border crisis ,and Trump caused inflation ! And Trump cause the electric cars to bankrupt auto manufactured! Did have anything to do with THE SENILE GUY cancelled 25 thousand American Jobs so he could send money To CHINA so they can BUILD A PIPELINE???🤔🤔🤔. O’ BUDIN got marines killed that he left behind in AFGHANISTAN , but that was TRUMPS FAULT!!

[quote]Kevin Brady: And your point is ?????? TRUMP kept it at 1.9 2.0 all 4 years

If she walked on water, they'd say she couldn't swim.

R2 That's still a great sign for the economy - it means companies are expecting an extraordinary Holiday season with a robust economy. Customers will be spending, spending, spending - and everyone in the retail chain (from the wholesalers to retailers) need additional help. If they weren't hiring for the holidays, we should all be worried.

We couldn't buy toilet paper when their precious Orange Jesus was in power. There were miles and miles of people in their cars, waiting in line for food banks during the Trump years. COVID killed over 1 million Americans. Our healthcare system was so overwhelmed they had to store the dead in trucks outside of the hospitals, in refrigerated trucks. Our healthcare workers wore garbage bags and re-wore masks and respirators for weeks in end. The store shelves were bare for weeks. Trump was laughed at by other world leaders.

Trump supporters are retarded. Flat out ignoramuses. Things weren't better under Trump. Repeating it doesn't make it reality.

Yet, R18, for many people, it seems, they remember being flush with money in 2020 due to checks they received that were signed by Trump.

Hike interest rates back up.
