THE ERA OF TRUMP

[C-Mag]

Over time I've become less and less favorable to HW.

I don't hate the guy, but I don't care for him. He was POTUS for the Greatest Military ever on the planet, which was cool.

I’ve officially given up on pointing out that the “unemployment rate” is based only on people collecting unemployment bennies, and double-counts part time workers.

Oops.

It's a shitty metric, nearly 60 years of political shaping, and doesn't teach you much

It has nearly zero to do with the state of the economy. Or even the job market.

good thing trump got into office otherwise we might be at 4% instead of 3.7%

Bogus numbers. This is more like the truth:

Alternate Unemployment Charts
The seasonally-adjusted SGS Alternate Unemployment Rate reflects current unemployment reporting methodology adjusted for SGS-estimated long-term discouraged workers, who were defined out of official existence in 1994. That estimate is added to the BLS estimate of U-6 unemployment, which includes short-term discouraged workers.

The U-3 unemployment rate is the monthly headline number. The U-6 unemployment rate is the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ (BLS) broadest unemployment measure, including short-term discouraged and other marginally-attached workers as well as those forced to work part-time because they cannot find full-time employment.

There’s a few million more “employed” working for ghetto wages as well, to feed their families. Great times.

Hillary is much closer to Gotti than Trump. Meme fail.
