  2. TRUMP Was given a good economy and added over 7 trillion,, REMEMBER that 7 billion dollars on the debt,, then covid and trumps bad handling of it,, then Biden has held the economy together as the WORLD suffers inflation,, u must ADMIT Biden policys r working,,, how is ur life now,, did u have takeout last couple days, been to the cinema,, things r good

  3. Jerome Powell is raising rates until people lose their jobs. “Soften labor markets.” We are proper —cked ! Whenever employment goes up, Jerome gets angry! He is at war w small banks & anyone who works for a living.

  4. Not True, only 104,000 jobs were added. This math is false.

  5. and should stop politicians from profiting off markets with its insider trading by not letting them invest in market like marijuana. so, the government doesn't have to rise the dept ceiling and gets its taxes.

  9. How can we be in a recession when jobs are so hot and unemployment so low

  10. the job numbers don't mean anything anymore. THERE ARE 10 MILLION PEOPLE THAT SHOULD BE WORKING THAT HAVE SIMPLY DECIDED SERVICE JOBS ARE NOT WORTH THE PROBLEMS WITH BOTH THE PEOPLE YOU SERVE AND THE MANAGEMENT ABOVE YOU.
