The economy was expected to show a massive gain of over one million jobs in April according to most economists but this morning’s official numbers show it grew by only a measly 266,000 jobs. The unemployment rate also ticked up to 6.1 percent.

As CNBC reports:


Hiring was a huge letdown in April, with nonfarm payrolls increasing by a much less than expected 266,000 and the unemployment rate rose to 6.1% amid an escalating shortage of available workers.

Dow Jones estimates had been for 1 million new jobs and an unemployment rate of 5.8%.

Many economists had been expecting an even higher number amid signs that the U.S. economy was roaring back to life…

There was more bad news: March’s originally estimated total of 916,000 was revised down to 770,000, though February saw an upward revision to 536,000 from 468,000.

The numbers mark bad news for the Biden economy. and indicate that it may take far longer for the economy to recover under Biden’s policies than many liberals wanted to believe.

People that receive welfare are happy with biden, because he has raised the welfare dollars that people get, by HUGE NUMBERS. So of course they will NOT WORK, they’ll stay home smoke pot and drink, and continue to pop out kids for MORE MONEY!!! It’s SICK AND TWISTED AND biden loves it, more votes for him. What a waste of a person biden is, hell ALL HIS CRONIES ARE BAD PEOPLE, THAT PUT AMERICA & AMERICANS LAST

Rich, let me guess, you have plenty of money and a good job am I my right? And you probably don’t know what it’s like going hungry. The government takes from us so much, they owe us this

You take a look at these trillion $ legislative packages, it is like giving free money to the people too lazy to or don’t want to work. No jobs, just more permanent welfare checks.

The Democrats must have meant GOVERNMENT jobs for highly-paid people; that’s where the money is going.

And ignoring, (mostly), the disabled and elderly who are at the rock bottom on the streets.

Because of a very low SS of $634 after my child support is withheld from my monthly check.
I am very close to living on only $80/month after my monthly financial responsibilities are covered. Any less and I would be on the streets, even though I respected all American expectations…
I worked all my life until I had to take ten years off work to take home care of my elderly parents. Some months I have to borrow from neighbors and landlord to make it until the end of the month. I can do light choirs, but until I build my weak body back up, I need temporary assistance.
So, on the SS-IRS list, I am still called a “deadbeat” Dad since I fell behind.
Meanwhile illegals at Biden’s border received as much as TEN times that sum EACH month.

Nice…
