Another shockingly anemic Trump jobs report - only 22k jobs added in August

[Cypress]

Payrolls rose 22,000 in August, less than expected in further sign of hiring slowdown​

Nonfarm payrolls increased by just 22,000 for the month, lower than the 75,000 forecast, while the unemployment rate rose to 4.3%.

I am sure he would like BLS to start reporting fake numbers!

Biden averaged 180k jobs per month.

Trump has been barely able to crack 100k jobs total over the entire last four months

Can you expand on that?

trump "solution" is a lot of free money through a prime rate of 1%. Even if we have inflation at a target 2%, the Fed would be losing money if it loans at 1%. It is a free handout of money.

With an exploding money supply and money velocity, we will get double digit inflation.

It was an amazing economy misrepresented by the new head of Labor Statistics. She will be replaced. Trump will release the numbers from now on.

Trump can want lower rates, but he doesn’t control them. So how would that actually work?

Trump can want lower rates, but he doesn’t control them. The Fed sets rates, not the white house. So how would that actually work?

Is he not trying to get rid of the governors of the federal government so he can hand pick their replacements?

trump has already removed one of the Fed Governors, and is threatening to remove the rest. None of that is how it is supposed to work. But here we are.
