B-bu-but this is just another example of trickle down economics that doesn't work...but not every one is benefiting in this economy...only oppressive rich white men are...right?

According to Republicans it doesn't count since the labor participation rate hasn't recovered.

Donald trump making America great 👍
More jobs, less unemployment, great relations with foreign countries, keeping Mexicans out, lowering taxes, gettin er done!

Let’s be sober about the employment numbers and jobs report. The # of Americans NOT in the labor force has hit record highs six out of the past eight months - 94 million Americans have given up looking for a full time job and are not working: https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/LNS15000000. That’s the worst in history. Additionally, about half of the new jobs created over the past 5 years are low paid gig jobs with no benefits. So if you’re wondering why, despite this huge news cycle about record low unemployment numbers, you have no job or your current job pays peanuts and offers no medical insurance, retirement benefits, etc... here’s your answer.



This is a pretty flat downward slope (and in actuality, the decrease in unemployment slowed when Trump was elected vs the year prior as represented on the graph). I don't see much contribution from Trump. What I said above still stands though: they all want to take credit for "jobs" but it's a lot of smoke and mirrors to achieve the narrative they are pushing on either side of the aisle.

So what you're saying is that the economy is keeping the same trend under Obama, both the positive and negative aspects?

SHOCKER!



To stupid people it's going to look bad for Democrats.

But for people willing to think for like three seconds and know that the Democrats were preceded by Republicans and 3 months isn't long enough to enact shit, it is actually the other way around.

Then again, people who take in Fox are probably dumb enough to fall for it.

Yep and yep.

Clinton inherited Bush Sr's shit economy and fixed it, Bush Jr fucked it up and Obama inherited and fixed it, Trump inherited Obama's good economy and fortunately hasn't fucked it up yet.

Inb4 liberals make false equivalencies comparing Obama unemployment rates

Those darn liberals looking at the world with a nuanced and comprehensive view, spoiling my meme informed world view.

Tell us what you're trying to actually say.
