Maybe Dump should be focusing on fighting Covid 19 instead of overturning election results. What a worthless piece of shit. 400,000 people will be dead by February and all the Trump Circle Jerk crew will do nothing but whine and cry.
Fuck you Suckaholic
Fuck you, 88braincells
Fuck you, Left Shitter
The U.S. economy added 245,000 jobs in November— the slowest month of growth by far since the recovery began in the spring and a warning in the months ahead as infections surge to new heights across the country.
The November unemployment rate ticked down to 6.7, from 6.9 percent, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which releases the monthly employment report based on data it gathers during the first half of the month.
Job gains were driven by a 145,000 jobs added in transportation and warehousing, with more modest growth in other industries. Professional and business services added 60,000 jobs, health care added 46,000 jobs, and construction and manufacturing both added 27,000. Leisure and hospitality, one of the most badly hit sectors of the economy, added back 31,000 jobs, but that category is still 3.4 million jobs short of where it was in February.
Retail jobs were down 35,000; bars, restaurants and other food service establishment places lost 17,000.
The report comes during what economists and policymakers say is a perilous moment for the economy. The generous aid programs that helped prop up businesses and households during the worst of the pandemic have long expired, and the House, Senate and the White House have spent months in disagreement in negotiations over further action.
Unemployment benefits for an estimated 12 million people will expire at the end of the year, due to deadlines set by legislators in March. And the virus’ surge has begun touching off a new round of closures and restrictions, as the caseload surges to new heights across a broader swath of the country than before.
“There’s increasing evidence it [the recovery] is a K,” David Berson, the chief economist at Nationwide Insurance. “We had the big drop and for much of the country who are on the up part of the K, things are pretty good. Good job growth, good income growth, low interest rates. But the down part of the K, a substantial portion of the population is hurting significantly.”
