The jobless rate fell to 11.1% in June as the U.S. regained 4.8 million jobs, but a recent coronavirus spike could hamper the labor market’s recovery

Job growth in June followed May’s payroll gain of 2.7 million and showed Americans are slowly getting back to work. But the U.S. labor market is operating with millions fewer jobs than in February, the month before the coronavirus pandemic struck the U.S. economy.

Trumps playbook smh

From former Labor Secretary RBReich :

And added over 1 million to the unemployment lines.

And now they're back to unemployment thanks to Trump and his sycophantic governors opening too soon without following CDC guidelines to reopen. And the worse thing, the neighboring states, that followed guidelines, are seeing increase in infections from these loser states

Care to report on the ACTUAL unemployment figure, as reported by Forbes, instead of the headline?

Thank you President Trump. trump2020 realDonaldTrump

These are furloughed workers going back to jobs that were already there. These are not NET NEW JOBS. THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE. The unemployment system failed to capture these categories correctly. This data doesn't tell an accurate story. What else is new.

Kevin_Clair_Jax Ask the millions of unemployed who haven’t even been able to file due to lines, failed phone answering, overwhelmed processing. Ask the thousands of small business owners going under. You promote stock market and jobs assessments from Murdoch economic fantasy land. Get real.

Politicians attacks on Healthcare &'pre-existing conditions'leave Us begging to build His 'Aftercare', (antirejection meds & follow-ups), help by a 🔄, please, that's all, just a 🔄, it helps so much! NOONE should have to do this.Thanks!! JamesNewHeart

At least WSJ used the proper word: 'regained.' These jobs were NOT 'created' realDonaldTrump.

I have been out of work since beg8nning of May and still no job. More importantly still no unemployment. We are hanging on by our fingernails right now. I've tried for weeks to get through to the employment office and 99 times out of 100 I'm met with busy signals :-(

Thanks for the negativity!

These aren’t gains. Most were temporary layoffs. Also these numbers were taken the second week of June before surges of virus and closures in the south. I’m back to work but not getting full hours so barely scraping by. Things are shitty for regular people right now.

*Democrats and MSM will hamper the labor markets recovery

It’s amazing ... when the WSJ posts goods, it’s a lie.. when it’s bad news, it’s all Trumps fault. SMH

I don’t buy it. What types of jobs are they? Part time? Full time? Benefits? Not all jobs are created equal but bills cost the same

Of course they brought corona back to try to kill the economy again. They couldn’t risk waiting for it to organically come back during flu season. There is an election on the line damn it! 99.7% recovery rate. But keep that on the hush.

How long before these are adjusted upward - again? More like 14%, I bet.

Imagine if Donald and Pence had done their damn jobs and asked ppl to wear masks. States wouldn’t have to shut down again and July numbers would look different. Bc they failed, more will file for unemployment & the economy won’t recover. Helluva job, Donald.

May 31, 2014 “Unemployment is a totally phony number.” DJT

Or could not, morons.

I think somebody is cooking the books

Except for every actor, musician & all involved in theatre who won’t go back to work until 2021. Extend the $600/week for performers who cannot survive w/o it. 🎭🥁🎶🕺🏼💃🏼🎹🎺🪕🎻 BroadwayWillBeBack extendPUA Actors artshero HeroesAct

yeah let's just find the negative. unrea job report!!

That's because the country opened everything up too soon. It's just going to go back up once they close things down again 🙄

But the gop said, the unemployment benefits are stopping people from going back to work?

Too bad the potus didn’t act timely.

FakeNews attempting to throw shade on positive economic data. DeepStateExposed

let’s hope the market reflects from the news 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

“a recent coronavirus spike could hamper the labor market’s recovery” ya think? JFC... How many more dead will it take to extract your head from your anus? 100k more? 500k? A million? WTAF?

Trump Admin. cooking the books.

The jobs numbers are not reflective of 'new' jobs, but of people being recalled. And also do not reflect all the people re-furloughed in the past week, and coming weeks, as states start shutting things down again. So the jobs numbers are a moot point.

And this will be adjusted during the vacation weekend to reflect the true number will be higher. After, of course, a quick market rally. Jobless Rates are meaningless during an out of control pandemic.

b.s.

My God. What the fvck did BarackObama do for eight years?

Fuck ‘rona, good news is good news. 4th of July weekend baby 🙌🏼

Folks fake numbers being manipulated by Trump administration. People who are furloughed & are collecting unemployment from the state & federal gov. are counted as employed. They’re not working, they are collecting state & federal unemployment but are considered employed.

Everything back to normal 🥱🤪Perhaps the Fed can try to raise rates...🍿

WSJ! Get real! The President’s mismanagement of the Pandemic has caused Businesses to re-close across the nation! Now we need to wait till August to see how much more damage this President has caused on Main Street!

This won’t last long when a new shutdown will be needed to contain tens of thousand or a hundred thousand cases per day. This could have been avoided if the US actually had a president.

Jobless rate is bullshit. People are being forced off unemployment and are taking crap dangerous work like at Covid infected restaurants.

these are existing crap jobs that will likely go away again as we shut down again

Hopefully news.

How many of the jobs are FORCE for suppressing protests by Aggrieved assembling for redress of grievances? How many of the jobs are COVID19 CONTACT TRACERS, or have 'we' given up on that containment component?

This is great news no matter how WSJ tries to spin it to attack America. Estimate was for less than 3M

Perhaps the spike is contrived .... anything to bust realDonaldTrump

Job or life, can we do both?

Do you blame Trump's governance or coronavirus?

Thanks realDonaldTrump
