  1. All fast food…service sector jobs that pay minimum wage…..😂.

  2. You know though, it really could be human hatred. Just keep going the ones who kept going.

  3. Guess we said its in the clear. Still caution, of anyones, and selfs.

  4. Every time when Joe Biden or the Democrats do something good or anything positive that makes the news just infuriates Trump supporters which is why a whole bunch of them jump on the comment section trying to downplay or discredit the accomplishments. They do this because it's their way of sticking their fingers in their ears and covering their eyes with their hands so they don't have to see or hear anything positive from the Democrats. This is also their way of so desperately trying to stay in denial and keep living in their alternate reality that defines who they are and validates their political narrative. Positive news that reflects on the Democrats does not validate their political narrative and neither does it validate who they are. This is why it infuriates Trump supporters to no end because basically they just can't handle the truth because the truth totally invalidates them as a person and their political narrative

  5. Not my intent to put anyone down. But these jobs are low wage earning jobs which are barely capable of sustaining a living. The vast majority of these type jobs people are working two of them .These job numbers are misleading.

  6. Most likely those jobs are being worked by none registered citizens, or from people who already have a job, but need to work a second job to keep their heads above water… this is the sad truth America.

  7. under trump companies went over seas and now under biden companies are coming back !

  8. Any of them go to U.S. citizens?

  9. PART TIME JOBS DONT COUNT!!!!!! THERE ARE NO JOBS FOR FULL TIME IN MY STATE. NO ONE WANTS TO TRAIN AND NO ONE WANTS TO MOVE PEOPLE UP IN THERE COMPANIES. NO ONE WANTS THERE EMPLOYEES HEALTHY SO THEY GIVE US PART TIME.

  10. Mortuary industry taken a beating lately.

  11. * IQSTEL. UP 16 % Month. Top Gaining EV Stock August. No Debt. Only 151 Million Shares. New Press Release Thurs. / Videos.

  12. Super great month for Mighty Joe. Joe 90M in '24!

  13. How did they add it? And why, no one wants to work. 😆 🤣

  14. Good now Go to Work….I am seeing a lot of People not going to Work it's crazy… Don't Be afraid Trust God

  15. 🏆 🇺🇲 THANK YOU JOE BIDEN 🇺🇸 🏆

    THANK YOU FOR HAVING THE COURAGE TO STAND UP TO PUTIN AND NOT COWER TO HIM LIKE TRONALD DUMP DID FOR 4 YEARS AT THE USA'S 🇺🇸 EXPENSE

    THANK YOU ! 🇺🇲

  16. Well….If you didn't know NBC was bought and paid for propaganda before…

  17. Instead of wasting your time watching fashion shows or comedy shows, you can invest that little time into digital currency market where every little of your time spent counts.

  18. Bringing back trumps jobs that biden lost!

  19. Those techs companies are firing higher wage to hire cheaper ones like in 2008-2012

  20. Since 1933, the US economy has grown at an annual average rate of 4.6% under Democratic presidents and 2.4% under Republicans. 7 of the top 10 states with highest GDP are the Democrat-led states of California, New York, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia, New Jersey and Washington. 11 of the top 12 states with the highest poverty rate are the Republican-led states of Mississippi, Louisiana, Kentucky, Arkansas, West Virginia, Alabama, Oklahoma, Tennessee, South Carolina, North Carolina and Texas.

  21. June job # were retracted 100,000. How can these #s be that important if you can redact a month by 30%. Hilarious

  22. They changed to a different job , not added

  23. More jobs created in 1 1/2 years under Biden than the last 3 Republicans, combined, did in 16 years!

  24. Alles sehr schön. Aber zuerst zusammen die Nummern 10 und 1. Eine Cucuzz.Online Brünette und eine andered Blondine. Es wäre unfair, wenn ich 4 wählen würde

  25. Alles sehr schön. Aber zuerst zusammen die Nummern 10 und 1. Eine Cucuzz.Online Brünette und eine andered Blondine. Es wäre unfair, wenn ich 4 wählen würde

  26. But do these jobs pay a livable wage? Nope.

  27. It doesn't mean the economy is about turning better in the era of high inflation and under the constant recession pressure. The quality jobs are rare for people but the job quantity is plenty around. California issues a new law of $22 dollar minimum wage for the fast food workers so they can pay for the unlimited rising cost of apt renting to meet the landlord's endless greeds. Those who can't make the $22 can look for extra works to fill the DOL employment statistic reports. Joe biden pumps in $80 billion dollar to invest in IRS to scrape the bottom to show all are working in his thought of no inflation in july.

  28. 315,000 people got a second job

  29. I know this network isn’t considered a news station. But don’t they have some sort of obligation to telling the truth or is it simply what democrats want to hear?

  30. Putin. Republicans. Special. Master

  31. Most Republicans ignorant by. Choice. Take. Away. Veterans. Benefits

  32. This is bad, perhaps Fed will go with 100 basis points?

  33. Everything reeks inflation in the economy…. I don't know who, however a person desires to pay attention to this, you have to stop relying on the government and saving all of your money. Venture into making an investment a few in case you actually want monetary freedom

  34. Yesterday I was called deplorable. Today I was called a fascist. And in between I was called a racist. What will I be called tomorrow by the Democrat party and the Biden administration????

  35. WEAK REPORT- 6 MILLION AMERICANS WITHOUT A JOB

  36. Somehow china lock downs never get connected to inflation but the fed balance sheet does THINK ABOUT IT
