JOBS! President Biden break records in job creation
President Joe Biden continues to prove why one of his many nicknames is “Joey Jobs.”
Dark Brandon is rising like a rocket thanks to the better-than-expected May Jobs report.
U.S. payrolls added an impressive 339,000 new gigs last month, boosting the Biden administration’s already historic track record.
The President has created 13 million new jobs in 28 months, far surpassing any of his predecessors.
While the unemployment rate rose to 3.7% in May, and the jobless rate was the highest since October 2022, the overall numbers are still close to being the lowest since 1969.
Professional and business services led job creation for the month with a net of 64,000 new hires. Government gigs helped boost those numbers with an additional 56,000 jobs, while health care contributed 52,000.
The country clearly is thriving under the Biden administration despite GOP efforts to obstruct Joey Jobs at every turn.
Upon the release of the May Jobs report, the Dow Jones Industrial Average went up more than 400 points in early trading.
The news couldn’t have come at a better time, as the House just passed President Biden’s debt ceiling agreement amid the threat of a new Federal rate hike later this month.
While Senate Republicans have vowed to block the debt ceiling deal, they might just be cowed by the Jobs numbers.
The White House released a graphic on Friday that lays it all out in plain sight. I also appreciate the touch of Trump shade there.
Story continues below the graphic:
That’s right; the country LOST JOBS along with all of the other things we lost under Trump.
Why does anyone vote for Republicans when Democrats consistently deliver?
Beats me.
Twitter was facetiously feasting on the financial facts on Friday.
Experts forecasted 190,000 new jobs in May. Today's report? 399,000 new jobs. Another win for Dark Brandon. Repeat, repeat, repeat. https://t.co/Lk28LRdsFu

Lots of good news in the jobs report, but this might be my favorite.
The percentage of prime-age people in the workforce is higher than it ever was in the Trump Administration, and is the highest it's been since 2007. The prospect of good jobs brings people off the sidelines. pic.twitter.com/uCxnbWz1DX
