The Trump Effect: Number of Americans in Labor Force Hits Record High

8

President Trump said he would bring back American jobs, and he is doing it. The left and the Never Trumpers keep trying to destroy him in his effort to make America great again, but meanwhile, he keeps on taking steps to make America great again.

“160,056,000: Number of Americans in Labor Force Hits Record High,” by Ali Meyer, Washington Free Beacon, March 10, 2017:

The number of Americans either working or looking for work in the past month hit a record high of 160,056,000, the first time this number surpassed the 160,000,000 mark, according to numbers released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Last month, there were 159,716,000 Americans in the labor force.

There were 340,000 more Americans who joined the labor force in February, while 176,000 left. The number of Americans not participating in the labor force declined from 94,366,000 in January to 94,190,000 in February. The bureau counts those not in the labor force as people who do not have a job and did not actively seek one in the past four weeks.

The labor force participation rate, which is the percentage of the population that has a job or actively looked for one in the past month, increased from 62.9 percent in January to 63.0 percent in February.

In addition to more individuals joining the labor force this month, the number of unemployed individuals declined by 107,000 Americans, leading to a decline in the unemployment rate.

The unemployment rate for all Americans declined from 4.8 percent in January to 4.7 percent in February. This measure does not account for those individuals who have dropped out of the labor force—it simply measures the percent of those who did not have a job but actively sought one over the month.

The “real” unemployment rate, otherwise known as the U-6 measure, was 9.2 percent in February, which declined from 9.4 percent in the previous month.

There were 5,704,000 Americans working part-time in February who would rather have a full-time job but cited economic reasons for not having such employment. This number declined by 136,000 over the month.

According to the bureau, involuntary part-time workers are “persons who indicated that they would like to work full time but were working part time (1 to 34 hours) because of an economic reason, such as their hours were cut back or they were unable to find full-time jobs.”

Overall, total nonfarm payroll employment increased by 235,000 in February, which beat expectations that only 190,000 would be created.

Following the release of the jobs report, the Dow futures increased by 100 points….

    With Right Leader country moves in the right direction .

    Obama. Hillary , most Dems , RINO’s have been working against American interests for a long time . And are paid puppets of lobbyists for saudi/OIC and Iran too http://tinyurl.com/njzxzed

    Hillary would have only sold the country further down the drain.

    Good start, now get rid of islamic welfare colonists and get the statistics balanced properly.

  • Bingo. This is what I’ve been waiting to see. The U6 report is the true measure of unemployment. Under Obama’s welfare regime the number of out-of-work/not-looking-for-work Americans reached highs not seen since the Carter administration while the MSM kept singing that “unemployment” was so low.

    • How does one know that Trump isn’t lying though about the numbers? He can direct the Labor Department to lie.

      • -The U.S. has added 235,000 new jobs
        -Trump has cut the U.S. debt burden by $68 billion dollars.
        -Manufacturing is at its most robust since 1984.
        -The NFIB Small Business Optimism Index is at its highest level since 2004.
        -The Dow closed above 20,000 for the first time ever days after Trump’s inauguration and hasn’t stopped rising since. The Dow has surged more than 2500 points since Trump was elected – a 12 per cent spike.
        -Samsung will invest $300 million in expanding U.S. production facilities, creating around 500 jobs.
        -Exxon will spend $20 billion over 10 years on 11 plants along the Gulf Coast, creating a whopping 45,000 jobs for American workers.
        -Fiat Chrysler is set to invest $1 billion in two factories in Toledo and Detroit, an expansion that will create 2,000 jobs.
        -Trump killed the Trans Pacific Partnership trade deal.
        -Illegal immigration from Mexico is down 40 per cent in Trump’s first month.
        -Trump returned the power to make decisions on “transgender bathrooms” to the states

        Yes, it could all be just a colossal hoax. It’s not like he has any enemies in the federal government who would expose him, right?

    Sorry to say, I think the percentage changes noted are not statistically significant.. But I still LOVE Pamela.

    This shows the unmistakable difference of having a President who has signed the front of a paycheck instead of only the back.
