The US economy added 235,000 jobs in August, a massive letdown from the expected number of 735,000.

The massive underperformance is another huge red flag from the Biden economy.


As Axios reports:

The U.S. economy added a meager 235,000 jobs in August, while the unemployment rate fell from 5.4% to 5.2%, the government said Friday.

Why it matters: It’s the first jobs report to factor in the extent of the COVID-19 surge driven by the Delta variant — showing a massive slowdown in the recovery after July’s blockbuster jobs report. Economists had expected 725,000 jobs to be added.

The big picture: This is a very weak report, which will dissuade the Federal Reserve from pulling back on the amount of cash it’s injecting into the economy every month.

The report comes as a Rasmussen poll recently found that 52 percent of Americans now want President Biden to resign.

The initial ‘good feeling’ flush is falling away [Biden seemed like a friendly well meaning ‘uncle’ while Trump seem rough and unyielding]. The fundamentals are reasserting themselves! Higher wages, somebody has to pay the higher taxes after the ‘rich’ flee. Higher unsupported spending just INFLATES the money supply causing INFLATION ACROSS THE BOARD!!
