Could sanctions on Russia affect the US economy?

Drivers have felt the pain at the pump, but could sanctions against Russia have wider impacts on the U.S. and world economies?

What's the point of "economic growth" when inflation is kicking the working people's ass

[freedomrings]

678000 corporate jobs. Small business took a huge loss.

Very little compared to EU countries, but yes will backfire at both region on a very hard way, not to mention 2/3 of the world will end up being on russian side.

They keep saying it's jobs it here. Where? I know plenty of people willing to work, but can't find a job. Actions speak louder then words. We don't believe those bogus unemployment numbers.

[SaharaColeman]

Where I live the gas prices are still around $3.50. I miss when they were almost $1.99 before the pandemic and this other nonsense 😩😤

[adrianacanavati]

We live in pa looks like it will go up to $4.50 soon because it’s already $4.25

[justaguy]

I looked at the jobs added. Primarily hospitality and retail, food, etc. Basically, jobs that don’t pay enough for people to live on with one job. Especially with single parents, are they supposed to work multiple jobs when they can’t even find childcare? Also, gas prices don’t just affect people driving. They will affect the price of everything. When things get too high but salaries don’t increase, and gas is super expensive, people will be forced to cut back on spending. Then you get stagflation and a recession. It will happen. Maybe corporations will finally pay attention when they lose money. The only thing that seems to get their attention is their stocks dropping. They definitely will.

While we are at it, it is not worth taking anything the media says "at face value" either.

Those jobs reports often have a lot of holes in them; it is no wonder the rate of unemployment was underestimated in the last one, when it later emerged that unemployment compensation applications went considerably up. But then again, this is the "united states of amnesia"; just a few days gone by may become sufficient reason to forget what had gone by.

The job reports practically treat a good chunk of the citizenry as "non-entities". That good chunk comprises of people who fell out of work for a protracted timeframe, and hence, have become disenfranchised in the job market. So, when job reports talk about the rate of employment, they only consider what they deem an "active" labor pool; the rest of the labor force, namely the "dormant" segment, is indifferently dismissed as "irrelevant objects."

There also seems to be a contradiction in the so-called "great resignation", which has engendered "shortages in labor", and the supposed "great uptick" of employment, while the average wage has barely gone up. Whatever happened to "the great resignation" bunch? Job reports don't say, except for anecdotal theories later on offered about how the "resignees" may have "traded their jobs" for another. Biden then runs with that, to say that everything is bright and shinny, but "not acknowledged" by the public.

3.79 here! But for how long? I saw 3.19 about a week ago in a very small gas station and there was a line down the busy street 😂 and the lowest I've seen since I've been a child {I'm 36 now} was when damn Trump was in office sitting at 1.60 or 1.70ish? But cmon who thought that would really last? Smart move Trump, leaving a smile on peoples faces at the gas pump right before he leaves office - but I see thru that kinda nonsense
