Donald Trump is running for president

[Belgium]

This always turns into both sides trying to outdo eachother in posting the buffoonery of radical supporters of the opposite party.
We get it. Despicable behavior isn't tied to a sole group of supporters, there's plenty of such on both ends of the spectrum.
Nobody here is excusing people spitting, punching, pepperspraying, ... Trump supporters. At least I would hope not.

Republicans don't let Obama past criminal justice reform, block the Medicaid expansion that would greatly benefit lower income blacks, demand college grants be cut constantly , and block demand side policy especially his proposed jobs programs.

But we gonna delude ourselves that everything is Obama's fault. He is the reason that progressive policies that would have beneifted minorities didn't happen, he against social justice for black folk and he should be blamed for the flame up of white supremacist anger towards blacks.

What a load of bull ****

U.S. jobs growth in May was slowest in more than five years

Just 38,000 new jobs; unemployment falls to 4.7% in odd quirk
Fixes the number of people who left the work force.



WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — The U.S. created just 38,000 new jobs in May and nearly half a million people dropped out of the labor force, raising doubts about the strength of the economy and possibly forcing the Federal Reserve to scuttle plans to raise interest rates this summer.

The increase in hiring was the smallest since the fall of 2010. Economists polled by MarketWatch had predicted a gain of 155,000 nonfarm jobs.

More than half of the nation’s major industries eliminated jobs last month, the first time that’s happened in several years. In another bad sign, temp employment fell by 21,000 and it’s down 64,000 so far this year, the Labor Department said Friday.

The dropoff in temporary work in 2016 is the sharpest of the seven-year-old recovery and might be a sign that hiring is likely to remain soft. Temp hiring usually increases when the economy is strong, with many of those workers eventually getting hired full time.

The number of new jobs created would have been twice as large in May if not for a major Verizon strike that kept 35,000 employees out of work. But the jobs report was still the weakest in at least two-and-a-half years even if there were no ill effects from the strike.

“Very disappointing,” said JJ Kinahan, chief strategist at TD Ameritrade. “That’s two months in a row of disappointing job reports. We are heading in the wrong direction.

In late Friday trades, U.S. stock were modestly lower and Treasury yields fell to a two-month low.

Yet Kinahan and other economists cautioned against it will take more time to gauge just how much the labor market has softened. Other indicators such as low jobless claims, record job openings and rising employment in the huge U.S. service sector imply that hiring is still fairly healthy.

“This report is so much weaker than other labor market data that does not meet the sniff test,” said Stephen Stanley, chief economist at Amherst Pierpont Securities.

He points to the decline in construction jobs in May and April at a time when sales and construction are rising and builders complain they can’t find enough skilled workers.

In a surprising twist, the unemployment rate fell to 4.7% from 5% to mark the lowest level since the month before the Great Recession began in December 2007.

The decline owed almost entirely to 458,000 people leaving the labor force, typically a sign jobs are harder to find. As a result, the labor-force participation rate fell for the second month in a row to 62.6%.

A broader measure of unemployment that includes discouraged jobseekers and people forced to work part-time was unchanged at 9.7%. That’s still unusually high so late into a recovery.

interest rates in either June or July. The central bank had been poised to raise rates soon amid a raft of other evidence suggesting the economy continues to grow at a modest pace.

Federal Reserve Gov. Lael Brainard on Friday called for the central bank to wait for more data before lifting interest rates. She said the jobs report shows the labor market has slowed.

What might still keep the Fed on track to raise rates later this year is upward pressure on wages. Even though hiring has tapered off, the unemployment rate is low and many companies face pressure to raise pay.

Striking Verizon employees, for instance, won a 11% increase in wages over the next four years instead of the 6% raise the company was offering. A survey by a trade group representing small businesses also said this week that firms are offering higher pay to entice workers.

Average hourly wages climbed 0.2% last month to $25.59. Hourly pay rose 2.5% from May 2015 to May 2016, just a hair below the post-recession high.

What’s more, the economy appears to have picked up speed after a slow start to the year. Economists predict the U.S. economy will expand at a 2.5% annual clip in the second quarter, up from a dismal 0.8% reading in the first three months of the year.

Still, the slowdown in hiring is sure to raise alarms at a Fed that’s already divided about its next move. Over the last three months, the pace of hiring has dropped to the slowest in four years.

The government marked down the number of new jobs created in April to 123,000 from 160,000. March’s gain was lowered to 186,000 from 208,000.

if you think crappy service jobs replacing good paying middle class jobs makes Obama look good then u more lost than even i realize

WASHINGTON — The deep recession wiped out primarily high-wage and middle-wage jobs. Yet the strongest employment growth during the sluggish recovery has been in low-wage work, at places like strip malls and fast-food restaurants.

In essence, the poor economy has replaced good jobs with bad ones. That is the conclusion of a new report from the National Employment Law Project, a research and advocacy group, analyzing employment trends four years into the recovery.

“Fast food is driving the bulk of the job growth at the low end — the job gains there are absolutely phenomenal,” said Michael Evangelist, the report’s author. “If this is the reality — if these jobs are here to stay and are going to be making up a considerable part of the economy — the question is, how do we make them better?”

But but but the unemployment rate has dropped!

While they fail to have any comprehension about the unemployment rate number that this administration puts out. All they can do is regurgitate Obama talking points like parrots. We have a record low workforce participation rate in this country-94 million out of work :x Millions have dropped out of the workforce and have stopped looking for work, that's the reason the rate has dropped. They look like deer in headlights when you bring up the U6 vs the U3 number

You can't fix stupid.

You think that pointing one point on a graph and ignoring the trend behind it, the other economic indicators, or the systematic factors effecting our job market.

The you're even more ignorant that I realize.

Consveratives have been playing a dangerous game with the economy, hoping that it turns downward at the right time so they can use it for political gain.

If that is the game, then let Obama engage in expansionary fiscal policy to speed up the process, give him the jobs program he has requested over and over. Tying the man's hands, dismissing every piece of good news and going nuts at any bad news is not proving anything.

Conservatives like you can't have it both ways, block him from doing anything, then blame him for everything that seems bad

I spoke to a policy analyst recently and he confirmed that these service jobs make up a bulk of the new jobs.

However, some folks are getting incentivized to work again via second jobs such as Uber driving, etc. I think this is a good thing.

So your major beef with Obama that he hasn't fixed the economy enough, even though he has been blocked from implementing anything that would have helped more.
