Block_that_Kick 03/08/24 10:28:38 AM #1:	Im sure knowing this information put a little pep in Bidens step last night during the SOTU. https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/08/economy/february-jobs-report-final/index.html The US labor market is doing just swell. The economy added 275,000 jobs in February, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday, registering a stronger-than-expected gain that shows the foundation for economic growth remains quite sturdy. The economy remains strong, held up by a robust labor market, wrote Christopher Rupkey, chief economist with FwdBonds, in a note Friday. The labor market remains rock solid. Economists had expected a net gain of 200,000 jobs in February and for the unemployment rate to be unchanged at 3.7%, according to FactSet estimates. The unemployment rate climbed higher, to 3.9%, in February. February marked the 38th consecutive month of job growth (the fifth-longest period of employment expansion on record), and the 25th consecutive month that the nations jobless rate has been below 4%, the longest stretch in more than 50 years, BLS data shows. --- The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off. <cite>Block_that_Kick posted [p:979257473] in 275,000 jo...

gamer167 03/08/24 11:07:55 AM #10:	Every single President always gloats about creating jobs but I never quite understand what exactly are these jobs, like who is getting them, where are they, how are they quantifying them, and how did the President go about making it happen?
