US private payrolls accelerate in March

Private payrolls increased by 155,000 jobs last month after an upwardly revised 84,000 rise in February. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast private employment advancing 115,000 following a previously reported 77,000 gain in February.

So, an upward revision to the prior numbers rather than a downward revision - yep, we have the GOP in power so expect more of that nonsense. Always seems to go the other way under the Democrats. It is almost like this is being used for form sentiment rather than simply report on it.

Putin's rancid orange bitch has the worst jobs record since Hoover.

I did notice recruiter email were upticking, but I am of the opinion these are just beginning of year budgets getting going.

You have to wait a while to get the full effect.

The ------- libs were running around saying the world is ending - and yet, job creation in the private sectors continues to pick up steam - even the lies from the prior month needed to be revised.

And where are the liberals willing to come and admit they were wrong?

All those highly trained and well qualified government employees illegally laid off my Elong and Dotard are taking jobs away from MAGAts. Soon the MAGAts will be demanding they be deported for making them unemployed, because all mouth-breathers will be good for is field work and construction, and those fat slobs will stroke out on their first day in a field or on a jobsite.

@#3 ... job creation in the private sectors continues to pick up steam ...

Yeah, job creation may be moving forward.

But who might fill those jobs>


Unemployment rate is hovering around 4%.

So, all those open jobs that are being created, who might fill them?


(I'll leave it at that for now)

They say anything.

Facts are, March's numbers are below the average 177,000 a month for the past 10 years.

Wait'll these tariffs hit everyone in the pocketbook and sales slow down in a myriad of areas. Companies are already canceling plans to hire new employees

Whine more and louder - that way voters will be convinced to bump up that 27% approval rating.

Mark my words:

Trump will go down as one of the most reviled figures in modern history before it's all said and done.

Trump MAGAts will be shamed and shunned. Many of you will deny you actually supported him. Like many GW Bush supporters did.
