10 Million Fewer Jobs, The President Wants You To Think Thats MAGA!

The President who has presided over a devastating loss of employment in America wants you to think that some of the job gains since the beginning of summer erase the devastation caused by the pandemic. 

“Trump and Vice President Mike Pence also boasted of the 9 million jobs created over the last two months. But that figure replaced less than half of the 22 million lost in the two months before. And the pace of job gains slowed sharply from 4.8 million in June to 1.8 million in July. Economists expect the number to drop again to about 1.4 million when the August employment report comes out on Friday.”
