    Default Unemployment rate falls to 13.3 percent as economy gains surprise 2.5 million jobs

    The U.S. economy gained 2.5 million jobs in May and the unemployment rate dropped to 13.3 percent. That’s down from 14.7 percent in April, according to the monthly employment report released Friday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

    The surprising data comes amid the phased reopening of businesses across the country after months of economic pain from the coronavirus pandemic, which pushed up unemployment to Great Depression-era levels and obliterated all job gains since the Great Recession.

    This will cause PoliTalker to have to visit his shrink today.

    He cheered the economic loss to millions of Americans and their families caused by the virus from China that China failed to contain.

    I guess there's no need for another stimulus. Crisis over!!! I'm so relieved.

    This thread demonstrates again why the cult supports Trump. Trump's first reaction to this was to tweet about his election opponent. He didn't tweet about the potential impact on the economy. Nope. He immediately went on the attack, making up yet another imaginary slight to his tiny little ego.

    The president and his family are personally attacked daily, hourly, by the media.

    If you expect him not to respond, you are a fool.

    Of course, some, like the far left loon, Concart, use this great news to attack the president.

    Definitely awesome news. Pretty surprising, too.

    Maybe we'll get a V recovery, after all...
