Sorry, that's not job creation.

Sorry, that's not job creation. | The sugar high of the Trump tax cut seems to have run out. They expected 185,000 new private sector jobs in May. But only 27,000 were created. Not even close. | image tagged in trump,tax cut,sugar high,jobs | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

So, suddenly, creating president Obama-like job creation numbers is *not* satisfactory?

Your information is factually incorrect.

The Bureau of Labor Services showed May's private payrolls up 90,000, while government jobs fell by 15,000 for an increase of 75,000. Decreasing government payroll is a good thing. Yes, it did not hit the estimate of 180,000+.

The unemployment rate remained at a 50-year low of 3.6%.
Average hourly earnings year over year in May were up 3.1%
The unemployment rate in May for African Americans fell sharply, from 6.7% to 6.2%
There are over 7 million more jobs than people looking for jobs.

All great numbers.
