  1. It's a shame that people are believing Bidens falsified economic and jobs report. Biden claiming the unemployment rate is only 3 percent, but it is over 13 percent in Connecticut. If the 3 percent statistic is an average of all the states, it misrepresents the critical la k of jobs around Connecticut and people think the average is what it is in all states. Connecticut hasn't even had dishwashing jobs or fast food positions or any menial job, stores not hiring though they need help and one cashier open with a long line, warehouses posting help wanted ads but never hire because Connecticut's economy keeps steadily sliding.
    Anid Connecticut's economy bottoming out as worst than ever seen since great depression where skilled professionals have been homeless and scared with no way out because just one job would be the life raft but the economy limited the radius they can travel by wiping out savings and transportation, but if the unemployment rate was so low, there would be a job in that radius in a suburban town, or in downtown Hartford, the capitol city, in a 2 year time period. The free busses ending too soon when people need that to save themselves, with no financial aid to give people at least some resources to access a job transportation wise. This destroyed resources to find a job even more.
    Unemployment data II as flawed. There are far less jobless claims because people have already exhausted their unemployment, but they are still unemployed. The government doesn't know they are. Also, the part time minimum wage jobs that one cannot live on, underemployed, they also count. The unemployment rate is purposely flawed. To he United States denying this jobs crisis will be it's demise. Biden is lying about the economy and unemployment to give stock market investors a false sense of security so they don't pull out their investments. The economy is terrible in USA, and corporations are lying about their assets. They aren't hiring so they aren't making aot if money from being busy.

  2. The FOX Business Network reports:
    Job cuts surged 15% in March, and large-scale layoffs ‘will likely continue:’ Report
    The pace of job cuts by U.S. employers accelerated in March, with the number of layoffs climbing 15% from just one month ago, according to a report published on Thursday by Challenger, Gray & Christmas.
    Companies announced 89,703 job cuts in March, with technology companies leading the way, the analysis showed. That is 319% higher than the same time one year ago.
    So far this year, employers announced plans to cut more than 270,416 jobs, a 396% increase from the nearly 55,696 cuts announced in the equivalent time period last year.

  3. It is anticipated that 2023 will be a significant year for the cryptocurrency market, with the potential for a bull run. Factors that may contribute to the growth of the leading cryptocurrencies include the global economy, stock prices, inflation, and the Federal Reserve's monetary policies. Additionally, a rise in inflation and a decrease in trust in traditional financial systems may also play a role. To stay up-to-date and potentially take advantage of market trends, it is important to follow the insights and analysis of experts such as Andrew Martins ..

  4. Hundreds of thousands of workers got laid off in the tech sector. Now they work for DoorDash. It does not mean we created 200,000+ jobs. These unemployment numbers is grotesquely misleading.

  5. You did your job in spewing forth this narrative. Love it, jobs are great ( the summer hospitality jobs ) but the unemployment is 5x’s last year???😂

  6. Ehhh, I highly doubt those jobs added are any sort of "good" jobs, or at least jobs that won't cause you to angrily quit and start another 'Great Resignation.'

  7. Yeah right. Lol. All fabrication and lies just like everything they say they have done. Better not forget about all the people who lost their jobs for not taking their jab…

  8. Housing , utility bills, groceries through the roof and inflation still way too high – and Biden wants to say " Everything is fine" ! and NBC just going to repeat it , with a straight face.

  9. Good luck trying to sugar coat anything about the current administration. The people that matter going forward, can't be convinced otherwise. Watching MSM for anything real is laughable at this point.
