Unemployment Rate Falls In March But Inflation Still Erases All Wage Gains



431,000 Americans found jobs in March. The unemployment rate is now close to the 50-year low set two years ago. But while hourly earnings are up 5.6 percent over the last year, nearly one in five workers say they run out of money before they get their next check, as they struggle with soaring gas and food prices.

  1. Yes unemployment 2 years ago was because of Trump!! If Joe just left things alone , we would be much better off now!! All the economic numbers were better under Trump!!!! Biden has screwed up everything he has tried to do!!!! He is the worst president in US history, bar none! Period!

  2. USA, return the 7 billion dollars life saving money which you stole from innocent Afghan Muslim Children.

  3. If America had an infrastructure to export Energy we would be much more independent.

  4. They are doing everything they can to boost it, from temper tantrums involving energy to wasting mountains of printed money.

  5. G. O. P. On. Snow. Train. 👀👀

  6. Working class people in South Florida are experiencing 100%+ inflation.

  7. The truth is more important than the facts. Is my $250K good enough to retire? I’m so exigent on productive information on how to possibly create wealth. What’s your say on this approach? I will appreciate any investment ideas.

  8. All you foolish people who voted for this guy, ( im not even counting those were already deceased or those who voted multiple times ) , dont think this is because of Putin, if anyone paid attention, these prices ( food and gas ) starting skyrocketing months before solely because of this guys policies. So i hope you all LOVE it when you fill up your car and the price your paying for groceries. YOU voted for it!!!!! Enjoy!!!!

  9. Anyone can spend money to create jobs. Heck you can even pay people not to work and lower unemployment claims. The trick is to do it without spending.

  10. Let us remember that in 2014 there was a coup d'état and overthrow of the Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych for not signing the association with the European Union and NATO, his overthrow was supported and financed by the United States and Europe, being vice president Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden, buying and investing a lot of money in energy rights and biological laboratories in the Ukraine.

  11. Hey,quit believing this crap !

  12. Reality check.
    Corporate greed and Reganomics. Brought this on. Living wage for all Americans. 25$ plus

  13. Russia accuses Ukraine of helicopter strikes on fuel depot in Russian territory!!

  14. unemployment fell because people no longer qualified for it . How stupid do they think we are. Inflation is being used as a tool by this administration to expand their agenda, create bigger government and control people.

  15. Now this is a joke. Unemployment is HIGH and so is inflation thanks to Dementia joe.

  16. Odio este Presidente nos tiene jodidos con la soga en el cuello

  17. Stop relying on the government and savings. Invest some of your money if you want financial stability, having several income streams is not a bad idea

  18. Joe Biden: “My son has not made money from China.”

    There are 4.8 million reasons why that’s not true.

  19. No NATO = no WAR🇺🇦❤️🙏

  20. The unpleasant truth: Zelensky is just a puppet in the hands of the United States. it's a well-orchestrated plan by America and Britain. it's an errand boy in the hands of the West, it's like a test tube in the hands of Colin Paul…

  21. Protest outside Oil company CEO's houses and treat them and their family members as if they were US vote officials.

    Photos of Russian oligarchs and their yachts are shown in the media. Where are the photos of European and American Oil executives?

    Looks like the Russian oligarchs spent the Russian weapons money on yachts & holiday resorts.

  22. Fake news airing real news. whatzzzzup?

  23. And this guy giving our money to Zelensky I can tell he never worked just sitting at the congress all his life
