    PMI®
    Manufacturing expanded in January, as the PMI® registered 50.9 percent, an increase of 3.1 percentage points from the seasonally adjusted December reading of 47.8 percent.
    The PMI® expanded in January after contracting for five straight months. Four of the big six industries expanded, compared with two in December. Six of the PMI®’s 10 subindexes recorded expansion, a marked improvement from the final months of 2019,” says Fiore. A reading above 50 percent indicates that the manufacturing economy is generally expanding; below 50 percent indicates that it is generally contracting.

    Democrats consider that a bad thing. It means less and less dependency upon the government and less votes they can buy using taxpayer money.

    Obama had good growth, from retraction to expansion. Obama starting with a Bush recession, stock market and real estate collapse, and finished with expansion, growth and high RE prices. Why are you crowing?

    Employment levels were Obama's only bad macro indicator and he did improve them, so you should focus on truth instead of lies. People aren't stupid just because you are.

    Obama had record numbers on food stamps while claiming things were improving. People don't blindly accept an incompetent black as President because of skin color like you do.

    At the same time Obama was claiming jobs were being created, the numbers on food stamps was increasing. Doesn't work that way.

    Leftists are going to hate all this GOOD news for the American people. They hate America and want to turn it into a Fascistic third world shit hole controlled by them.

    Try looking at the jobs that are becoming more available before you celebrate. It's called a livable wage for a reason.

    In 2013, which was during Obama's 2nd term, food stamp use hit a record 47.6 million and had been steadily climbing. At the same time, unemployment was stated to have dropped from a high of 10% in 2009 to 6.7% in 2013. That either means unemployment wasn't declining or the jobs Obama claimed credit for having created were so shitty and paid so little, he was only concerned about the quantity and not about the quality.

    You mean like the jobs Obama was claiming to have created in the million while millions more were going on food stamps?

    In 2013, 47.6 million were on food stamps.

    In 2013, Obama was claiming an unemployment rate of 6.7%, a drop from the 10% that existed 4 years earlier.

    How does unemployment drop by 1/3, as claimed, yet food stamp use go up by 1/3 at the same time?

    STFU you uneducated dipshit. Wages are going up and the skill level of jobs are increasing as well. Try to extract your head from your asshole before you post.

    Living wage; another moronic leftist meme.
