Well that is a shocking jobs report

Tweet

The July data was released this morning and, well, it literally shocked FOX News' Maria Bartiromo into silence live on air. The forecast for the month was 110,000 added jobs. The reality (for now) is that it was 73,000. Unemployment was at 4.2% which was largely expected. What did Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick say just a couple of days ago? "This is Trump's economy!" It sure is. What is even more shocking to me is the fact that they WILDLY revised the jobs numbers for May and June. The initial report for May was 144,000 jobs. It has since been reported as just 19,000. For June it was supposedly 147,000 but the reality is that it was 14,000. Like who came up with those initial reports? That looks like NJChicaa-style math. It has been amusing to watch the Trump cronies trying to spin this report into some type of positive news.
