Thanks Obama! Coasting on his economic agenda is the best thing Trump could be doing. Too bad Obama's fiscal year end a in October.

Confidence in markets can drop significantly in a short amount of time if there's a legitimately perceived threat that can seriously harm and destroy the system. I'm not saying trumps policies won't be harmful, but it's way over exaggerated by the left. Presidents simply don't have that much power, but liberals portray it as America is doomed with him as president

Forgive my ignorance, but what exactly does unemployment mean in the sense of statistics like this? Does it mean looking for work but can't find any? Just not working?

Because there is absolutely no way in hell that only 4.3% of the population of the United states 18 and over are unemployed. Just no way. Hell, about 10% of my city is unemployed.

If you have given up looking you aren't counted, that's the biggest gray area.

To be considered unemployed, you need to be actively looking for work. There are also people who report wanting to work without looking. And then there are people who don't work and don't want to work, like many retirees

So it only counts people that are constantly applying but can't get anything? I still don't believe that's only 4.3%.

Can you name a piece of legislation passed under Trump that has an effect on the economy and jobs? If the answer is no, then that means we are still on Obama's economic agenda, correct? Nothing has changed.

It's a trade deal that would have involved pacific nations along with America is easing the restrictions on goods, services, and jobs flowing between member nations. Also,had some great environmental standards for all nations involved to adhere to. Much like NAFTA, it most likely would have been job-neutral.
