Employment up, hours worked up, wages up...all good news. Please don't attribute this to Trump...he has done nothing...this started building last fall...don't attribute it to Obama either...he didn't do anything in his last years to help workers either.

The bad news:

the change for March was revised down from +98,000 to +79,000 With these revisions, employment gains in February and March combined were 6,000 lower than
previously reported.

March was really bad...not Trump or Obama's fault/responsibility either...despite those like Gilligan who try to make it out as such.

Ah, yes. A world with no potus. A place, deep in space, whereby nothing a president does, or does not do, says, or does not say, can penetrate. A void. A vacuum? A reasoning, an argument that says presidents don't really matter and may simply not even exist. A land that time has forgotten, does not affect, has no effect; the land of the bureau of labor statistics.

I'd often suspected as much...

That is an interesting thought. Then, America could get back to Her roots.

I wonder how many people know that George was not the first to be considered president?

But, we know that presidents don't decide it all, or do they?
