Good news for the economy.   Markets reacted positively today.

The jobs created in the last few reports didn’t reflect government hiring.  They were real jobs, predominantly in mfg.

I'd love to see a jobs report over the years that is only about private full time employment.

The numbers will climb fast if the US investment commitments come to fruition. I hope people are ready to get to work.

Tariffs haven't even hit yet. We'll see what happens when they do but the cowardly Trump is already backing off of that like a tub of jello while China stood their ground FIRM.

DOGE saved jack squat because the amount of "fraud" in govt was magnitudes lower than he fraudulently declared.

I read somewhere that of the jobs creates in the last several years. 20 percent where government jobs. 

I would like to know how they calculate the part jobs into the numbers they give us. It may take 2 or 3 part time jobs to equal one full time job.

Is he really? I will be up about 4% on my portfolio for this year as of tonight. About 11% up since May 1stt 2024. Not bad.

Yep I'm up now.  Wouldn't mind another 5 to 10% correction just to re-invest.  Maybe rv will make that happen again with his doom & gloom forecast.

govt hiring just pads stats.
