Economic forecasters had predicted one million job gains in April. The actual results are “stunningly” and “unexpectedly” far below the expectations. The Bureau of Labor Statistics [SEE HERE] reveals only 266,000 jobs gained in April and downward revisions of March by -146,000. There are almost 7.4 million jobs available; however, despite the available jobs, no-one is going back to work.
Yes, JoeBama’s “free government money” has created the socialist utopia.
The politically correct economic analysts are shocked that minorities (blacks and latinos) are not going back to work; while ignoring the disincentive that government handouts have created in the JoeBama economy. The entire dynamic is ridiculous when you consider we should be entering a phase of the jobs economy where vaccination and COVID mitigation should be leading to massive reopenings of the economy overall.
Inside the numbers, the economic sectors showing the worst jobs recovery are directly related to the blue state shut-downs. Worse yet, there is an underlying scenario showing the economy is not growing despite the ability of businesses to re-open overall. That spells even more trouble.
(CNBC) – “Today’s report was an enormous surprise and shows the labor market hit a hidden pothole in April,” Glassdoor senior economist Daniel Zhao tells CNBC Make It. “Clearly, the labor market has decelerated quite a bit.”
The 6.1% unemployment rate and 9.8 million people unemployed remained steady in April compared with the months prior. (more)
There is no level of spin that can change the reality of this situation. JoeBama’s economic policies are exactly the wrong thing to be doing. Everything, and I do mean every single policy objective, delivered by this administration is AMERICA LAST!
Hiring was a huge letdown in April, with nonfarm payrolls increasing by a much less than expected 266,000 and the unemployment rate rose to 6.1%. Dow Jones estimates had been for 1 million new jobs and an unemployment rate of 5.8%. CNBC’s Jim Cramer discusses what he thinks led to the surprising report.
.
“Unexpected”….. I see the MSM has resuscitated their favorite word from Obama’s term. The one they pulled out continuously, as the economy fell every single month he was in office, much to everyone’s total surprise – not!
But when the leftists are confronted with the fact that, once again, the policies they espouse did not, in fact, lead to higher employment and a growing economy, they will fall back on their old canard that it’s the fault of capitalism and not their own harebrained ideas!
But hey , no more mean Tweets , right ?
/s/
Only for a while our beloved President 45 Will be back in action soon when he has his platform and he will have millions and millions of followers. You can bet the lead for sure love those tweets.
Watch what happens to oil. In 2018 the U.S. surpassed both Russia and Saudi Arabia to become the world’s largest crude oil producer. If that changes, all bets are off on how fast and far we might fall.
I agree! And all of the Greenies are determined to forever destroy the internal combustion engine… Pulling the Dakota pipeline was simply one of the many promises made to the AOC wing of the party to keep them in line. There will be more pain inflicted on those of us who have jobs and drive cars!
VikingMom:
I just saw a stat that 20% of people who buy electric cars go to back to gas. Reason? No where to charge them. If there was money in supplying charge stations, we’d have them already. Why aren’t gas stations offering charge stations? Sumthin’ gotta give..
“Who killed the electric car?”
It committed suicide
A lady who has an electric car told me yesterday it takes hours to charge them up- so it’s not feasible for gas stations to offer that service. I’m surprised it’s only 20% who go back to gas…
So much for the long road trip where you use a few tanks of gas. I think this is the goal…no road trips. They will know where we are because we cannot go anywhere of significant distance. They want to eliminate the number of cars on the road and this is one way. How far can one get on a car battery charge?
A quick googly-de-goo search said Teslas can get 350 miles per charge….a road trip to FL would take 3-4 days out of my locale and if another googly-de-goo search is right, it takes 8 hours to go from ’empty’ to full.
Unintended consequences, motorists stranded for hours, many times over….cost on the grid…predators preying on motorists waiting for a full charge.
Cost of roadside assistance will climb.
added thought…those guys in the roadside assistance industry will surely develop a ‘super charger’ (if not already done), like then they come and give you a jump start with their quick chargers…
YMMV, Aggiegirl. Imagine if you want to use the air conditioner or need a little bit of heat… the battery is supplying that energy.
A super fast charger isn’t feasible with current battery technology. To recharge the battery the electricity has to reverse chemical reactions inside the battery. Do it too fast and the battery overheats which is why it takes hours to charge them now.
The real fun begins during a mass evacuation when everybody is stuck in an hours long packed bottleneck of an interstate with the nearest charging stations hundreds of miles away and already packed with people slowly charging their cars. Roads and ditches will be littered with abandoned drained cars.
I suspect you’re right, Aggiegirl. AOC and other extreme leftists think government permission should be required to travel. The electric car makes it nearly impossible.
The long-standing plan for all of us (the great reset) is that we live in big cities, in tiny apartments (no more suburbs). We travel by public transit (no more private autos, except limos for John Kerry and AOC). Food will be grown in littoral areas around cities, or in greenhouses, vacant lots or rooftops. Most of the countryside will be restricted to preserve the environment. Both the Obama, and now the Biden administration have been maniacally buying up land.
This is not paranoia or a conspiracy theory, this is the environmental movement. This the Green New Deal. Leftists are quite open and proud about all this.
Here’s something to ponder – just how do you think that energy companies generate the electricity to charge up those electric cars. Do you think they are using windmills and solar panels? Or cheap and available fossil fuels….
It was reported in 2017 that the majority of power generating plants that produce electrical power are using natural gas (34% of nations e-power), or coal (30% of nations e-power) . The other 36% of the nations e-power is split among nuclear (20%), hydroelectric (7%), wind (6%), solar (1%), and oil (0.5%).
So the report indicates that burning fossil fuels are powering about 65% of the nations electrical power production.
Ref. https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/national/power-plants/
The commies haven’t yet figgered out that the electricity to charge the batteries in electric cars will come from coal/oil fired generating plants.
tojak:
They haven’t figgered out, or we haven’t seen what’s coming?
Has Texas figgered out, yet, that their current lifestyle is utterly unsustainable with their stupid windmills?
Which goes first, their quality of life, or the windmills? I’m very dubious..
I think you can bet on it one way of the other. It mystifies me that so many people still seem to think of things as bad policies and misguided this or that. The CCP and globalists have taken us over and will do whatever it takes to impoverish and weaken us. The name of the game is fostered chaos.
Get ready for our very own passion, penance for our longstanding policies of child sacrifice and sexual perversion. If enough of us make it through, there should be some kind of resurrection at the other end, but I doubt it’s right around the corner. Right now, it looks to me like we’re in the Garden of Gethsemane portion of the sequence.
Too late, Bidet already killed the pipeline and exploration, gas up a buck in 100 days, ain’t it just grand they beat Trump?
There are more proven oil reserves in the CONUS than in the entire middle east, but biden cancelled domestic drilling permits so our Drillers can’t drill for our own oil…
As a consequence, Americans are once again forced to send half of our GDP to buy oil from people that hate our guts…
The coming war with Iran should spell the end of the internal combustion engine, and the private automobile. Enjoy your bus pass.
Followed by: US Chamber of Commerce urges Congress to DOUBLE the number of LEGAL immigrants from 1M to 2M per year
The policies they espouse are specifically designed to kill capitalism, and impoverish willing and able, hard working Americans. I guarantee that after they broke that news, once they got back behind the door, they were rubbing their hands together, all giddy like. Probably probably passing around champagne and having a jolly good laugh at our expense. That’s what communists do, they like to torture decent people and destroy any and all prosperity. Arrogance, Cruelty, and Evil are are the altars they worship on.
Let’s see what the next few months show us with the job numbers. We need to see a trend. But having said that…when you have over 7 million jobs vacant after an economic shutdown then you have a problem. The workforce that small businesses rely on has been dusincentivised from returning to their jobs. The government handout is more appealing. Add to this Joebama is planning to tax the hell out of the same businesses to pay for his trains solar panels and charging stations…while killing other jobs. And inflation us starting to sting the middle class. The dems want to make the population used to government handouts. Brace yourselves.
Employment is plunging yet the Stock Market is surging … proving the RAT billionaires are manipulating the market to make braindead look good.
To the 40M Americans who voted for Biden, IMO you have been snookered!
No they wern’t. Just too dumb to vote IMO
My siblings live in Northern Virginia and DC. All voted for Biden. All ‘professionals’ in their careers. The” blindness “of their sense of “moral superiority”to traditional, conservative Americans, as Solzhenitsyn defined these elitist dupes, never fails to astonish me.
Financially, they can all head for the hills when we become Venezuela, that’s why they do not care about the working and middle classes that are being destroyed. Sometimes, I actually believe their hatred for us via Pres Trump signifies one thing: they want us all dead and gone.
With this jobs report, it reminds me of Barry’s shovel ready jobs that never materialized and then he laughed about it. That’s what the Marxist Maoist Leninists do, they laugh.
They DO want us dead and have said so and are taking action to eliminate us.
Flova, I see similarities in my extended family. I’ve lived among the liberal elite on both the east and west coasts and they seem to have two things in common – they’re financially secure and they are oblivious to the fact that their voting habits are detrimental locally and nationally.
What drives them – the Orange Man name caller is gone. They don’t care about voting integrity, the loss of American freedom and liberty, the rise of foreign powers, our economic devastation, nor the absolute slime that inhabit DC.
No, the ones that actually voted for him are getting what they want. Guaranteed livable wage, $15/hour minimum wage, can’t evict then, free tuition …..
I said this earlier today…regarding Free Tuition?
Let me add the following:
You get what you pay for:
Your educational facility/institution will be chose for you.
You will have a government created curriculum.
You will have your major chosen for you.
The information force fed will be approved only by big brother.
Critical thinking and new ideas will be discouraged.
The instructors will be chosen by the statists.
There will be intense monitoring of students.
40 million? I see what you did there.
What!? The dead, and the addressless votes count too! As do all the non-citizen votes. As do all the electronic mystery votes … as do all the …
Subtracting the fraudulent vote numbers provided by Sidney Powell and Mike Lindell from biden’s clamed 81 million votes leaves biden with a total of only 36 million votes…
That is probably pretty accurate.
Leftists are usually smart enough to cross the canyon in two jumps. The electric car makes the private automobile functionally impractical. That is the point.
Leftists have no use for democracy. The people are sheep who need to be herded. Democracy is an obscenity to them.
Undermine faith in democracy, or subvert democracy. All good. As long as leftists wind up on top.
The first time in who knows how long, I agree with the US Chamber of Communists.
Don’t get too excited, they have to give the appearance of being capitalists, once in a while.
I wish the elites would give me carrot cake occasionally, I am tired of upside down biden fruit cake.
?
Yep, you know it’s bad when the representatives for the globalists say that Biden’s policies are bad; that it’s damaging the recovery (like what happened during the Obama years). Of course, the CoC hasn’t seen the light; it’s just a momentary hiccup; someone from Biden’s hideaway will speak to the CoC to remind them to get with the program.
Cheese please!
let the spiral continue at quicker pace….
Post America will be simply amazing!
Cut the cheese!!
So is this how the gubmint will increase minimum wage? They are the minimum wage and business has to increase theirs to compete? What idiotic thinking. Also, people would factor in expenses like gas and traffic time to get to that downtown service job.
This dept of labor thinking is exactly the same as the state department with the embarrassment in Alaska with China.
To them, this is high school. In fact, (besides being easily manipulated by others) these people have never mentally or emotionally grown beyond the level of a teenager.
And as a teenager, they never matured beyond that of a dependent toddler.
So, the Biden administration missed its April 2021 job gains estimate by 75%. WOW
But should anyone be surprised?
NO, no one should be surprised.
Who wants to work when they can make more sucking on the public tit.
My prediction, the economy under the Biden administration will only get worse. (safe bet IMO)
Maybe, Biden and crew are trying to race past former President Carter to the bottom of the pile.
Agree.
Cool plane, BTW.
Obama is still at the bottom of the pile.
So as soon as the dems take over the previous months are always revised down.
Unexpected by whom? LOL! I’m yrs retired and wouldn’t mind taking one of the available jobs but 99% (even in Florida) employers require you wear a mask of submission so I’ll keep loafing.
In my strip mall of 10 businesses 4 are still requiring masks.
It’s difficult as it is just to get people to take a job when they can sit at home and collect the money, but mandating that they wear a mask, and soon that they get the vaccine… It just is going to put a big damper on finding workers.
Oh, I get it. The Plan is to take away the $$$ forcing people to start looking for work. But then command that they get the vaccine in order to have a job. This is the carrot/stick approach.
Thats funny I am a nurse and get calls all the time to come back to work, left due to disability. But I always ask if covid and drug test they say yes and I say sorry can’t make it. They do not need nurses that bad if covid porn is still active. Had all the nurses I needed this week at the hospital so don’t cry for them. Half the aides are stoned so don’t care about the drug test either it is just another way to keep the door closed. I can pass both but won’t.
I’m retired, too. My old boss called me day before yesterday and offered me a part time job, extremely part time. It would involve traveling one week every three months, making stops at various utility systems to calibrate and/or repair natural gas detecting instruments. Four weeks of work per year! Sounds like a great way to make a few bucks, but . . .
I’d have to wear a freaking mask at every stop AND in the office!
Nope, I’ll sit on my rear end and watch my vegetables grow. No mask required.
Yes a little pneumatic control work would be perfect but no mask, not now, not ever, NEVER!
nice!
surprise surprise
Biden’s Socialist policies are like the chicken in the following joke…
The reason the chicken crossed the road was to show the armadillos it could be done.
That’s the joke.
The reality is that there’s enough dead armadillos on the highways to prove the chicken wrong.
The irony is that there were already enough dead chickens on the highways to prove it couldn’t be done…
“Hidden pothole” my ass, this is a direct result of total fail economic policy – get ready – cause it will get much much worse.
What is it with all this negative economic news, the Stock Market makes new highs?
If that doesn’t tell you the US Treasury and the Central Bank manipulate the Stock Market I guess nothing will.
The stock market is literally the only place on earth to invest.
No one trusts the Chinese or their stock market.
Interest rates near 0%. Bonds are a joke. Government debt won’t tolerate anything else.
The sub-prime mortgage debacle of 2008 was financed by Europeans with no where to invest. No young Europeans means no mortgages, no business startups. Now? American fertility rates are at record lows. The social security system is premised on 1950s birthrates. Uh no..
Some times “Keeping your powder dry” is a better option than “investing”. When the stock market makes zero logic or common sense. “Investing becomes “Gambling”. Your decision should not be “because” it is going up, but “why” it is going up.
Oh, but it can be spun…with Americans not biting at job opening because of the extra UE monies the dems gave them…the filthy socialists will now say all the illegal immigrants have to stay to fill the jobs “Americans won’t do”. Surprise, surprise.
I won’t be surprised if this trend continues through September (at least here in MA) since the Fed+State handouts are scheduled at least until the 6th of the month.
Ground report: Just because a business is “now hiring” or even “hiring urgently” does not mean they are. Husband has applied to dozens of places. They have minority quotas to fill, first – whether the hiree is actually competent or not. Or the other favorite trick from Obama years: hire temp with promises of going permanent and drop the worker two weeks later once the work is all caught up.
This thrills the heck out of me!
Combine this with the fact that the wife just got back from the store and prices are shooting up.
Many as much as 50% in one week.
The buyer’s (Biden voters) remorse will intensify.
Pretty soon people that have obstructed investigations will simply step aside.
There will be more wistleblowers as people see the ship sinking and decide to make a deal.
Add to this Dominion’s refusal to turn over passwords.
They’re toast.
What state will ever sign a contract with them.
What state level house or senate member will ever approve a contract with them.
I think the diameter of the snowball is starting to grow.
George:
Or..
The same news media people who refused to report on Hunter Biden, will refuse to report bad economic news.
Does CNN cover any of this?
Nope… dominion is not “toast”….
It (dominion) is alive and well and NOTHING is being done to fix the fraudulent voting machine problem…
MANY states have dominion machines and will use them in the “elections” of 2022 and 2024…
All of this talk about “vote out the rinos in the primaries”, or “so and so will be elected in 2024” is just “feel good” crap…
Only a matter of time till the goon ‘book-cookers’ make their way to the Bureau of Labor Statistics…
The Biden administration is spending trillions, raising taxes, bringing back earmarks, bringing back regulations, shutting down gas production, has illegals pouring in – and paying people to not work.
And for the life of them – they can’t understand why the job report sucks.
But hey – at least he does not send mean tweets!
The Biden Administration doesn’t give a flying donut in hell how bad it gets! (Badly mixed metaphor!). Almost appears like that is the goal…
I like crispy donuts!
Marquis, ME. TOO!!!!!! The best! (Although Krispy Kreme , hot out of the oven are okay, too!)
Just wait until inflation hits the Democrat welfare state.
The perfect storm.
It will be Trump’s fault…
Obama gave out huge raises to government employees during the recession of 2009. The # of bureaucrats making $100K skyrocketed. Government employees, who should properly have shared the pain with the private sector, now view themselves as immune to the vicissitudes of the economy. Very dangerous.
The bureaucracy, as a result, is now a branch of the Democrat Party. We saw the fanatical opposition by the bureaucracy to the Trump Presidency (the Resistance). How and why the Republican Establishment thinks it will be different for President Haley (whoever) is a huge mystery.
Been to the grocery store lately??? Bought lumber or other construction supplies??? Or, how about filling your car’s gasoline tank???
Inflation has already “hit”, at least it has here in Florida…
And while whining about people paying their “fair share”…
Biden, personally, “avoided more than $500,000 in taxes to fund his luxury lifestyle”
From 2017 through 2019 the Bidens “classified a total of $13.5 million in book and speech income as profits from their two corporations, rather than as cash wages.
That means they avoided “paying $513,540 in payroll taxes on their $13.5 million in declared corporate profits.”
https://www.wnd.com/2021/05/biden-gets-scolded-not-paying-fair-share-taxes/?utm_source=Email&utm_medium=wnd-breaking&utm_campaign=breaking&utm_content=breaking&ats_es=%5B-MD5-%5D
Please, HEIDI, let’s not talk about Biden’s financial situation…
Swiss Diplomat Who Represented Biden Admin Interests in Iran Is Found Dead After Falling from 17th Floor Balcony in Tehran
According to reports, Sylvie Brunner was called to Iran to testify about her knowledge of the details of the American accounts who pocketed billions of dollars due to the bribes to lift sanctions against Iran.
I wonder if the predicted and the real labor stats are actually good analogies to the fake and real votes for the installed POTUS.
the installed FAKE “potus”… There… I fixed it for you.
This is how the Communist get rid of the middle class. They pay the people more to stay home than it pays to get a job. The middle class businesses go out of business because they can’t get labor. Once all that is done they stop paying sit-at-home labor which now has total dependency subsistence.
This is where Forced Labor comes in to play. In order to get subsistence you go down to the closest train station in the morning and load on to a cattle car. Which takes you to a field loading cantaloupes on to trucks at 100 degree temperature. Naturally, not everyone makes it through the day and there remains less they have to worry about.
There is no middle class businesses anymore and nothing available for work than the cattle car option. If you are in a town and want Mexican food you go to Taco Bell. If you want a hamburger you go to McDonalds.
Every Communist Country eventually resorts to Forced Labor. Venezuela being the latest. Had Hillary been elected, we would be there by now. Biden will be the same as Hillary intended but just a Trump four year delay later.
You’ll hope the train is going to a legitimate farm.
I have a couple Cambodian friends who one morning boarded such a train during the Khmer Rouge. They ended in a “Labor camp” for two years until they risked their lives escaping to Vietnam. It is from there they made their way hiding in the jungle until they were able to become a boat people and to the United States.
Ask them about the present Communist Biden Administration. The similarities are startling to say the least.
Same as Obama. Pay to stay at home. Unemployment for 8 years. We’ve seen this before.
Thanks, GOP./sarc
Slightly related, and this was exposed to me by a Mexican immigrant who is now a U.S. citizen.
I was complaining about all the furniture I’ve been seeing on the sidewalks. It’s insane. She said it’s the Mexicans using stimulus to upgrade home furnishings, including tvs. I know it’s not just Mexicans, but the point is that’s what a lot of people are doing. They’re also collecting unemployment (according to her).
There are help wanted signs all over Southern Missouri, and not just for fast food or convenience stores. Plenty of construction jobs, landscaping, and even my local post office wants to hire carriers. Until the enhanced unemployment payments are squashed, this will continue
Who can ya blame.
Bush or Trump?
Didn’t take 1Y, so image the next 3.5Y under Biden, Harris, Pelosi, Schumer and the ever, perpetual giving Republicans that DO NOTHING but exist, breathe air and take up a seat. They LOVE this . Don’t have to pretend to lead, can be in the minority and lash out at Dems and enjoy 4Y of easy street. That’s the Republican party.
For We in the mid-working class, we may survive but it will be by mere existence. Wages going down, EVERYTHING going up..Groceries, all essentials, food, fuel, gas, insurance, health care; SOARING. Tried buy lumber, 300%…yet here in the southeast where I leave, timber, timber, woods and NO LOGGING going on. Cruisers, loggers are not engaged, working 3-days/wk at best; yet there is a SHORTAGE.?? Told lumber mills are full and so are company warehouses. THIS IS man-made!!!!!!!!!!! Loggers aren’t getting work or rich, so who’s getting rich???
Biden, worse than obama? Thought that would never occur; but darn if it ain’t so thus far. He’ll close everything at this rate.
THE LEFT in full control, from the local school bds to the state houses to the WH. A COMPLETE take-over of every facet, every fabric of society TO DESTROY.
Told lumber mills are full and so are company warehouses. THIS IS man-made!!!!!!!!!!! Loggers aren’t getting work or rich, so who’s getting rich???
Similar in Oregon. It’s Communists.
As we all know, the plan was for Hillary to take over for Obama. Voters took care of that by voting for Trump. So for the next election, the Dems had 4 yrs to make sure Trump was a 1 term President and they succeeded by rigging the election and gagging the Supreme Court. Biden is simply a figure head for an Obama extended term.
I don’t know how you get out of this. without a civil war. I live in socialist Canada. The only people I know who are doing well (here), right now, are people who work FOR the government. Even during a pandemic they get to “work from home” and get full pay!
I come to the Treehouse every day, hoping to see a shift, because if anybody can reverse what is happening, it will be you citizens of the USA!
“Downward revisions” = trying to unwind the lies…..and I agree with VikingMom……”.unexpected” means that they really don’t know what they are doing, the data sets they gather to do this reporting are not stable (unreliable), its always unexpected up or down.
I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Master of Science degree in Business Management, with a specialization in Strategic Innovation and Change Management in February of 2020. I also have a Bachelor of Science degree (Summa Cum Laude) in Business Management, with a specialization in Public Administration, in addition to Associate of Applied Science degrees (both Summa Cum Laude) in Computer Information Systems, and Networking Technologies with copious amounts of experience to go with them.
I’ve been actively and aggressively pursuing a new career ever since March of 2020.
The claim that there are 7.5 million unfulfilled jobs is complete and utter bullshit!!!
It matters not how many jobs are posted, it only matters how many positions are really being filled! Most of the jobs I’ve looked into over the last year having never actually hired anyone! I think the unfulfilled jobs numbers are grossly inflated to provide cover for the economic destruction being wrought by the current administration.
Don’t believe me? Spend a little time on professional/career sites like LinkedIn and you’ll find a staggering number of highly qualified people who are unable to find career positions befitting their qualifications. Many like me having applied to literally hundreds of job openings with no success whatsoever!!!
I would wager the only people actually getting hired are the purple-haired, neck-bearded, skinny jeans wearing adult adolescents who uniformly embrace the politically correct, somnambulant wokester lifestyle, those who think compensation packages containing things like nap-time, yogurt bars, and free expresso are acceptable substitutes for tangible wages.
But are you a YouTube influencer?
Most of these companies want to hire the social butterfly who smiles and laughs and says cutsie things. And that is just the he/him pronouns. You have to bring happiness to our phony make believe sparkle pony world.
Actually doing your job well is just so, what is the word, oh ya, privileged.
On a serious note. I empathize. I have several friends navigating the same thing. It sucks. It is as if the children are now in charge.
Thank you. You are right.
Our Corporatist overlords wills soon bring nationalism roaring back. Of this, I am supremely confident.
Go back to work, brothers (not comrades, that’s the other totalitarian dogma) for the sake of your country.
Shortages? Stop complaining, for the sake of your country.
High prices? Stop gouging, for the sake of your country.
The southern border wall will be revived, to keep out the white supremacists smuggling in guns. Too easy.
It’s all so obvious and overdue. Tick tock.

There must always be sales positions going begging for svengalis who have proven they can sell snow to eskimos, and sand to arabs. Or engineers who have invented the perpetual motion machine.
A splendid defence against legal complaints that the qualified are going unhired.
The reason clerk jobs are now going to university graduates is to avoid complaints of racial discrimination. You now need a BA to file and answer the phone, so your boss is insulated from legal woes.
I just never thought I’d grow old hating wide swaths of my own country. You don’t have to take the cheese. It’s a cop out to blame welfare. This is a problem of lazy, stupid, freeloading, losers and their Government Party enablers.
My kids ALL have jobs. I tell them all the time that while the idiots around them are refusing to work, they are hauling in actually pretty damn good money for a teenager/student. My daughter works part time at Chipotle and she’s bringing in about $500/week during the school session. If she works 150 hours or more, they kick in a $2,650 per semester ($5,300/yr) tuition benefit. So she’s making close to $20/hr to serve burritos (and cook and run cash etc).
She never has trouble getting hours because there are a lot of people at the store who will gladly give up their shift if she tells them she wants more hours. Because they don’t want to work!
My 15 year old got approached by her rock climbing gym asking if she can work weekends helping with birthday parties and managing kids in the gym. She absolutely JUMPED at that opportunity. If she works hard, she will be able to move into a great part-time job when she’s old enough to drive herself to work. (for now, min wage and we all take turns driving her to work on the weekends)
The hell with these lazy ass people.
You are a good Dad.
Teaching awesome life skills.
Your children will thank you.
Mine do.
I am standing up and applauding your kids, and you of course for providing them with wisdom and a work ethic.
? ?
It’s all Trump’s fault will be the next big lie from the Xiden White House.
Read the Economic Sectors Reports, that detail gains-losses by Sector, Funds and Companies.
The Multi-Nationals, Companies and Banks with stuff off-shore to send back into the US or are among the government selected domestic winners are the winners. Domestic Companies focused on-shore that make stuff or design stuff have problems. Retail middlemen that sell stuff from off-shore are doing OK. Big Dollar consumer related stuff are not doing so well, becuase NOBODY has money to buy expensive stuff or take loans to buy expensive stuff.
Plus, the government rewards for being a non-participant in the labor pool is still overwhelming. The unemployed rate is understated.
The other interesting correlation is value of companies that mirror all the $2 Trillion Dollar “reconciliation” spending bills … can you say insider trading!?
Under Comrade Puppet Obama’s regime this occurred every month for 8 years but the adjustments were not big to make explaining the lies easier at the time.
Those using Sock Puppet Joe’s pen and cell phone no longer feel the need to moderate the lies as they own the media 100%
“The April jobs report was the worst miss in 23 years: “The worst miss, we’re told, since ’98.”

From now on, forget what you think you know, 6.1% will be considered full employment by our overlords!
I’m sure people getting paid to not work is a large part of it, but I wonder how many of these jobs that can’t be filled are in urban areas that people have moved away from? It must have some effect. Here in Texas, we have been flooded with Californians moving here.
I cannot see the logic of asking guys to work if they already getting paid enough….. why on earth would they?
Seems I recall a certain AOC who said they wanted a country where those who want to work can and those who don’t will be kept by those who do. They seem to be achieving exactly what they planned.
Surprised Cramer didn’t mention parents needing to be home to take care of kids that are not allowed to go back to school as part of the reason why employers can’t find employees.
Sadly, the U.S. economy has been on life support since the Government shut it down for 2 weeks to flatten the curve. Stimulus checks be damned. When the helicopter money stops, all hell will break loose. FED has no room to cut interest rates to stimulate the economy. Credit Card applications are at record levels, and there is no way to monetize this debt. If you don’t own it 100% kiss it good by.
The local Crystals burger joint is hiring. Starting pay $13/hr. For flipping burgers. McDonald’s is closing at 10pm due to lack of staff. This is crazy. But so is working for $10 an hour when you can bring home $675 per week for doing nothing.
Hourly wages up 0.7% in one month. That’s huge and indicates employers are trying to attract workers.
If you’re working or willing to work, this is good news for you. So long as the lazy pricks stay out of the job market, your wages and conditions will improve dramatically which will help you with the coming inflation disaster.
Winning!
Ship of Fools Biden administration right on track with their MESA agenda (Making Everything Suck Again).
Idle hands are the devil’s workshop.
Cramer–what a joke. He absolutely knows how stupid and wrongheaded these policies are. But he has to pretend otherwise so he can keep his cushy job.
Yeah I know, can’t exactly picture him storming the beaches at Normandy.
I must be a sucker or something. I’ve worked the entire shutdown. Hell I even took a job at little caesars as a second job for a while…
Why no one wants to work in Biden’s America: Jobless are now getting paid more in government benefits to stay at home than they were in wages BEFORE the pandemic
