We need more jobs than this. Hopefully, once we get tax reductions and repatriation of overseas profits, the kind of job growth we need will happen.

Leading questions asked about this subject for the last eight years.

1. How many people are still unemployed?

2., How many have quit looking for jobs?

These have been asked ad nauseum over the that time period.

I don't like U3 unemployment as a measure of employment. I much prefer U6, because it includes those that quit looking for work and those working part time that want full time work. The good news is that U6 is down significantly under Trump to 8.6%. We are also seeing some upward pressure on wages.

You lost me at the breitbart link. Send me the WSJ or something believable.
I am always amazed when some moron ignores a new article that states officially released data because of the articles publisher. Just look up the numbers on whatever govt website who pays your bills, it is the same data.
