But, are they *good* jobs, with benefits...and a wage that a person can live off without needing a second (and in some cases a third) job?
If not...then, they're not helping people to better themselves. |

Hey, everything here is good news and positive introspection. Great to see that the economy continues to improve.
I also hope that these are good, well-paying jobs. We need taxpayers if we are ever going to solve this debt crisis. |

Not 4 years, but 8. Hopefully this upward trend in job growth will eventually lead to increased wages, but so far, not so much. In addition, it seems that not enough of us are qualified for the jobs that are becoming available. That leads me to wonder about how accessible education is for everyone, since IT is continuing to be important. |

From what Ive read, the lower income workers are a large part of that increase since the minimum wage increase was mandated. For the middle, not much going on there. Growth is growth and Im hoping that even the little increases will make a difference without inflation snapping at our heels. Hopefully, we will have more transparency in the healthcare industry so that competition will create a functional marketplace. |

Trump's doing a good job with the Economy and job growth in this Country!!
Obama gave away money, taxpayers dollars. He did nothing to help the economy. |

If you cant be responsible enough to provide a link for people to respond to, they will pay you back by responding with their own reflections, as you have done. I would love to send the link but I am on my cell. But Just pull up the New York Daily News. Front page . The article spells out all of the positive things in |

If you can't be responsible enough to provide a link for people to respond to, they will pay you back by responding with their own reflections, as you have done. From the best I can find these jobs are mostly in construction, mining, and logging. http://www.cnbc.com/2018/06/01/this-chart-shows-the-types-of-jobs-that-are-thriving-under-trump.html whats liberal kool aid?
Is there conservative kool aid? Im liberal and I usually just drink coffee or green tea. Is one of those liberal kool aid? why do you care what anyone drinks? Wouldnt it be more effective to respond to the point made? Is the kool aid comment code for not knowing how to respond? I'm sure you already know this, It's a way of insulting another person intelligence when you really have nothing intelligent to say yourself. For some, it's easier to insult than it is to actually research and add something to a thread that everyone can use. Article found here. http://www.cnbc.com/2018/09/07/us-nonfarm-payrolls-aug-2018.html Most pay raises have been wiped out by inflation. Cost of living high. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/cost-of-living-2018-increasing-at-fastest-rate-in-10-years/ |

construction, mining and logging are good paying jobs and many other industries have added jobs . Factories. White collar, blue collar, device, ect ect
There are a lot of long term capital improvement construction projects going on up here. Highways. Bridges. Tunnels, ect ect projects that take years to complete and pay extremely well. It is certainly good to see soo many people working and the unemployment level soo low :) |

I started my job Aug 13. They started me out $2 higher than the year before. I have great benefits. I'm working in apolstry. I've never sewed before and it's kicking my butt. I need the money. I have a tenant moving. I saw basically the same info on CNN. |

Hmmm, I have a problem with employment numbers
The reality is, those who have been unemployed for over a year, fall off the grid, they don't even show on percentages. and if they do find a part-time chit job, they qualify as, improving job stats. The employment numbers are manipulated, don't get too excited |

Its job creation
and after OBama's history making streak of 72 straight months of job growth, I do hope Trump continues the trend. just as I hope the DOWNWARD TREND of unemployment numbers since 2009 does not reverse too steeply. It will come back up as the economy is set upon a certain percentage being unemployed. |

The trend started by Obama, and the numbers as a trend was the same in 2015-2016.
Nothing to do with Trump himself. Just a development continuing after a man that took over a totally destroyed world but was able to correct it, and get it back on track. Taking the credit for the upswing made by another genious is just saad. But isn't that a typical.... Lol. |

these are the top stories my nydn takes me to: Government photographer cropped photos of Trump's inauguration to make crowd look bigger, records reveal SEP 7, 2018 President Trump calls on DOJ to investigate anonymous op-ed claiming there's a 'resistance' in the White House SEP 7, 2018 Internal memo urges Oval Office visitors to not take Trump's 'on-the-fly' decisions seriously: Woodward's book SEP 7, 2018 John Kelly nearly got into a 'fistfight' in the Oval Office with ICE official invited by President Trump: Woodward SEP 7, 2018 ...so you'll have to take the lead in providing what you wish to discuss rather than expect other members to find your articles.....or just be vague and allow replies to be vague....thats fine too. just sayin... I would if I were at my computer. In a heartbeat. But the numbers are not just on the N.Y.Daily news. They are on many other newspapers as well. All over the web to. Actually common knowledge. Meaning . Not hard to find. As others here surely have :) But let's just continue to see only bad things 200K New jobs in one month . Unemployment at its lowest in 49 years ..pay rates at it's highest.. Bad stuff Lol |

Unemployment at its lowest in 49 years ..pay rates at it's highest.. Bad stuff Lol like i said before, dont expect folks to follow your trail when you dont provide one. Im not looking for 'bad things' just true things. Folks will bring their own links to the table and discuss their own perspectives with their own resources to back up their points. If you cant do that, your opinions wont appear to be as informed as those who do provide resources. I tried to help you out, but what you said was there, simply was not. I think its great to disagree....unless there is no basis for that disagreement. Then it just looks like people want to argue instead of discuss a point. Thats when it comes to insults n such. When information is no longer important. Thats also why its great when Charles added some links. I went to them and appreciate them. Having that information makes for better discussion dont you agree? Well I think I kind of explained why there was no link. My computer is down and I can not copy the link to my phone. I thought that was a valid reason. It's not? But I do apologise for giving the wrong newspaper. It is actually the New York Post..front page . And one of my points was that regardless of good news some will still find something wrong with it because they do not like the current chief therefor they can not accept anything positive that happens under his leadership And I think this was proven in this thread. |
