The truth is that we may never know the true unemployment rates. The way its determined is so fucked up by government and the Obama Administration in an effort lower the real numbers that its impossible to tell. Seasonal unemployment rates vs non-seasonal, people off unemployment are not looking for work due to benefits running out…………..does any of that shit make sense? NO.
Trump needs to go back to the basic numbers to get the true unemployment rate and quit with the Dumbo system, its all fake anyway.

Agreed.
I recall the dark days of the Doubleya administration where fast food restaurants were redefined as "factories" because they "assemble" burgers.
That said, the GDP is a good indication too and that has skyrocketed to 5.4%... Obongo said that 3% was impossible.

Ironic because the left is claiming that GDP is around 1-2% right now. Based on the MSM, you would think we have record unemployment, racism is alive and well, and we're all gonna die in a war with russia tomorrow. Nothing more than hysterics and gaslighting, probably to intentionally start some kind of civil war. But conservatives are the unreasonable ones, after bending over backwards to appease the left, only to be told we need to give even more. That's the problem with the left, you never ever give in, since giving in is an admission of wrong doing.

As long as ICE is deporting, and the wall gets built it's almost impossible for this to be otherwise.

kind of funny how China is focusing on nothing more than employment to stop anyone marching into Tiananmen Square (a peasants revolt, hundreds or thousands of protesters killed by soldiers --> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiananmen_Square_protests_of_1989) ever again, yet people get all pissy when the President of the USA does the same.
