Trump:

quote:
Wow, a blowout JOBS number just out, adjusted for revisions and the General Motors strike, 303,000 . This is far greater than expectations. USA ROCKS!


Pence:

quote:
While the Democrats spent all of their time over the last month on a partisan impeachment sham, our Administration has been working for the American people!

128,000 jobs added in October
✅ Unemployment rate at 3.6%
✅ An Administration that cares about the real issues

Ok...
1. Trump tweeted this at 8:52am. He's supposed to wait until 9:30am.
2. US added 128,000 jobs in October. If no GM strike, likely ~165,000
3. With the revisions to the August & Sept data and no GM strike, you're looking at ~260,000.

Solid jobs report. Why make up data?


quote:
I asked the WH about 303,000 figure. Here's what Trump's Council of Economic Advisers said:

October: +128k
Revisions: +95k [these relate to previous months' figures]
Adjusting for GM: +60k
Adjusting for Census: +20k [jobs that were previously counted]

= +303k


Not to mention that the 128K already beat estimates that were in the 85K range...

facepalm
