Laughable- is this comedy hour ?
55% of everyone I know is either fully unemployed or working such few hours they are on Food stamps...

Nice to have a president doing his job and not spending all day golfing and posting on social media

[A-FrameWedge]

They do not say that all of the net 528, 000 are part time and low paying jobs in the service sector.

[jaridkeen]

If they dont pay $15 an Hour its not a Job. The real Unemployment rate is 20%

This is great!
Congratulations to president Biden!

[aleshanew]

LoL... A month later. They are cutting jobs everywhere. 🤣 government is a joke

[Betts]

Unemployment 3.5😆😆😆😆😆
And i just bought an ocean front home in AZ

[travisford]

RIGHT....That is why everywhere I go there are help wanted signs. Restaurants closing bc they can't get help. Companies having to go to extreme lengths to recruit new employees.
Creating jobs is great only if people are taking them.

Cost of living is high. Minimum wage needs to be $20 an hour. It's a far cry to make money when the cost of living is high and wages is low. You have professors that are homeless living out of their vehicles because rent is $1.500 to $2, 000 Etc.

[tracyknowles]

You cant count people having to get a 2nd job because they have to so they can pay their bills

The worst numbers you can manipulate. I can take 100 full-time workers and move them to part-time and hire 100 more part-time and now i just added 100 jobs to the market. Garbage numbers

[sjean]

Why don't you guys report on how many people are losing their jobs in America.

[sorawfatt]

Half are retired senior citizen and half are handicapped people having to work due to inflation..

[goatrockhunters]

This is the most bizarre economy ever. I’m not feeling good about where things are going and will not celebrate too soon. Jobless claims increased last week of July. Inflation is here for a long time. Housing market could tumble at any moment.

[billypardew]

Good cuz everybody's going to have to have several jobs just to pay for gas and food

[nickhayden]

Imagine most those jobs probably aren't even 10 bucks a hour

[sanantoniotrust]

The numbers are fixed, the job growth is about to tank, Netflix, Walmart, Amazon going to lay off thousands and other small companies are either going out of business or cutting hours as the economy heads to Hyper Inflation

I'm so proud of us! Yes, that includes you! So many of us are new to investing, but we have not given up even when our stocks kept going down and down, and we bought the dip and the dip and the dip. I know the market could go down again, but even these gains in the last days shows us that one day there will be a bull market and we will prosper. Many of us are underdogs who are trying to gain financial freedom I have made over 16`btc from day trading with Mrs Clara Greens, . Let's continue to encourage each other and invest! I love my 10X family! This is a place to exchange and gain. Have a wonderful week!

I think I made that statistic go up a bit more than it should. I'm working 2 jobs to make a living wage.
