I don't think the word 'job' means anything. It doesn't tell you if the person is able to provide for the basic needs of their family. Being employed full time, more than full time is not a predictor of being able to provide for basic needs, let alone healthy consumer behavior. We have tons of people 'employed' by Uber, Lyft, etc, but that's not sustainable. It doesn't enable people to save for retirement.
Jobs numbers are always corrected, and almost always corrected down. The Bush administration did it, the Clinton administration did it, the other Bush administration did it, the Obama administration did it. A good jobs report is good news and anyone who spins it any other way is a sourpuss. The question is whether it can be sustained. The stock market has been running a nitrous oxide mix since the day after the election on the assumption that the Trump administration would basically eliminate regulation, which is a clear sign to make hay while the sun shines. Most market analysts are in the "we don't expect this to continue" camp, with the notable exception of Warren Buffet, who went big into trains back in 2009 and then you never heard of it again. Turns out it's made BH $22 billion. And yes. Not all jobs are good jobs. but all jobs are better than no jobs.
I'll take some credit, if we're just slinging it around
Hey now. Enough of that. This is clearly because Trump knows what he's doing and is able rely on his decades of business experience, able to appoint the right people, and able to implement the right policies to get this economy moving again. Like he said, he inherited a mess. The fact that he was able to get such great numbers with just a month into his presidency shows how great of a leader he really is.
This was extremely short sighted of him. Think about it. He literally said "Great again!" So if we have lower than expected job numbers next month, he has reduced us to un-great status by comparison. I have a feeling we're in for years and years of 'minor setbacks.'
