Elise Amendola/APWilkin Soto works on a customer at the Castillo Barbershop, in Lawrence, Mass., on June 5.U.S. employers added 1.8 million jobs last month, as the unemployment rate dipped to 10.2%.
"There are still a lot of people on the sidelines," said Sarah House, a senior economist at Wells Fargo Securities. "That's going to have a big impact on what we see in terms of consumer spending over the coming months." "It looks like a lot of the improvement in the second half of July really began to slack off," House said.
Democrats lost the jobs and trump is getting them back
1.8 million jobs in a pandemic where in blue states the only essential jobs were Govt bureaucratic jobs pushing paper
“added” means many went back to old service jobs that were laid off due to shutdowns. These Covid numbers will, either voluntarily or involuntarily, shut everything back down very soon. Public school openings will seal the deal by Mid October.
TRUMP 2020!
why do i not believe the economy added jobs?
The corporations already got their taxpayer-funded pandemic windfall. They are pocketing the cash and not re-hiring laid-off employees. Many of the jobs people thought they lost temporarily are never coming back.
1.8 million ADDS....
Please explain how 5.6 million new unemployment claims were filed in July, but some how 1.8 million jobs were added? And 20+ weeks of over 1 million new jobless claims and unemployment is 'down'?
Here is the most disturbing part: 'A survey from Cornell University showed that 31% of workers who were recently rehired have lost their jobs for a second time during the pandemic. Another 26% have been told that they might get laid off again.'
Nah it’s easy, fully open the economy and get the kids back in school.
Gdad1 Why does the media insist on sugarcoating the situation? We are entering a second, and much worse, Great Depression. The phrase “long road to recovery” insinuates we are past the crisis. This crisis is just beginning. People should plan accordingly.
Us employers, not trump, not Obama, not biden. So can we please not give credit about the economy to presidents
Is a positive sign that it's moving upward to expect it to happen overnight is unrealistic. This is a plus we will get there.
Especially since those going back will be dropping like flies
Were they contact tracing jobs that we the people are paying for?
1.8 MILLION REHIRES.
And yet $600 is a dis-incentive to work... .. to work jobs that don’t exist anywhere.
Liberals seeing jobs added:
Nice spin NPR, did the Biden campaign write this?
Many of those jobless will also be homeless, things like crime, including murder, and divorce will increase. All as this curse of a plague takes life after life. This may not have been avoided but it certainly could have been mitigated. An election was stolen and this results.
Yes. Open the damned economy. Leave politics out.
Now compare that to the number of new jobs lost.
