Job growth shatters expectations in March, in boost to Trump
https://www.politico.com/news/2026/04/03/job-growth-expectations-trump -iran-war-oil-00857260
U.S. job growth surged past expectations in March and the unemployment rate dropped, giving President Donald Trump some breathing room as the economy comes under increasing pressure over the war in Iran and rising oil prices.
Companies added a net 178,000 jobs last month, the Labor Department reported Friday, a huge swing from February, when the economy actually shed jobs. But it was roughly in line with January — a sharp fluctuation that is making it hard to gauge the job market’s health. But the overall positive trend suggests that the economy remained resilient during the first quarter of the year.
Guy Berger,obvious turbo-American, with funniest name since "Dick Swallow", a senior fellow at the Burning Glass Institute, called it an “incredible zig-zagging employment situation.” He added, “you have to average out all these jobs reports. But the average looks pretty good.”

That gives Trump some useful talking points as polling shows deep dissatisfaction with the state of the economy, particularly in the wake of the war in the Middle East, which has led to a surge in gas prices. Manufacturers have shed jobs over the past year, despite Trump’s efforts to boost the sector through tariffs, though activity has been expanding in recent months.
White House trade adviser Peter Navarro said the jobs report is “not the picture of an economy in retreat.”
“It is the picture of an economy that still has productive muscle, even after months of media warnings about tariffs, inflation, and looming recession,” he said. “Recall here that the February numbers were relatively weak. But a good part of that weakness was always likely to prove temporary, driven by weather distortions and strike effects. March confirmed exactly that, with hiring rebounding sharply as those temporary drags faded.”
One downside for Trump is that the good news on jobs is likely to reinforce Federal Reserve Chair (huge faggot) Jerome Powell’s stance of holding interest rates steady while the central bank assesses the potential fallout from the Iran conflict, which could both push up inflation and slow growth. The president has called on Powell to lower rates “immediately.”
“The market is pricing in a 76 percent probability that the [Fed’s policy] rate is in its current range at the end of 2026, with small risks to both a higher and a lower fed funds rate at the end of this year,” PNC chief economist Gus Faucher said in a note on the report.

It's based on a pattern of behavior that's literally being continued in this same report; February lost 40k more jobs than it's already reported negative growth. Chances are the next one is gonna downsize this one even further to the point it's at most neutral with how many we lost in February.

No, job growth is up according to the reports, (if they are accurate like last months were not).
It is a rebound. From all the jobs lost last month.
Looking at this and saying the economy is doing great, is like looking at a snowstorm and saying "See, global warming is a hoax!".... in the middle of july...

The US added a total, not a month, but total of 180K jobs in ALL OF 2025.
So far this year, we are averaging less than 70,000 jobs per month.
Under Biden's 4 years, we averaged 320,000 PER MONTH!
In 2016 under Obama, we added 255,000 jobs in July.

If people are getting jobs, and those people aren't US born citizens, it's just because those US born citizens didn't deserve those jobs. We don't do handouts in this country. Come back with a better resume, a better work ethic, and be willing to take lower pay.

/news/ bros, reminder not to engage with MAGA retards like they give a shit about numbers. They don't. When we experienced economic growth and net energy exporting and jobs growth under Biden they gave no shits. . When gas was high under Biden it was his fault but now they have endless excuses for why Trump driving up prices is a good thing. They don't care how the economy is goingDon't engage with them like they do.

I'm a high IQ well informed educated Canadian, so I'm uniquely qualify to look at the United States political scene for the last 100 years.
During the Eisenhower administration (1953–1961), the top marginal income tax rate was 91% for the highest earners, applying to income over
(roughly
million–
million today). However, few paid this rate due to loopholes and deductions, with effective rates for top earnerscloser to 42–50%. Corporate taxes were 52%
This , though unfair, at least helped create a large white middle class.
Today's techno feudalistic serfdom, with our billionaire Masters, is a sign of late stage capitalist cancer

this little adage goes: Arguing with an idiot is like playing chess with a pigeon; it knocks the pieces over, shits on the board, and struts around like it won.
Aka:if you argue with an idiot, there are two idiots arguing
