Cruel Winter!

The month of December brought jobs.
In a country of 332 million Americans, 312,000 jobs were added for the month of December. Unemployment rate ticks up to 3.9 percent.

Many analysis believe that America's economy remains strong despite the stock market being volatile. Employers had added 2.6 million jobs for the year of 2018.

There's 50 states, the District of Columbia and the five occupied U.S. territories. Somehow, 312,000 jobs being spread across the Atlantic to Pacific is a benefit for our economy.

Wage growth heated up last month with average hourly earnings up 3.2% cites the Financial Times.

The jobs that are hiring include: health care, food services, construction and manufacturing. These were contributions to the country's hiring.

Of course, we won't talk about GM closing up locations. We won't talk about Sears Holding Group closing up Kmart and Sears locations. We won't talk about the government shutdown that took 800,000 workers off the payroll. We won't talk about the wildfires in California. We won't talk about the hurricane damage in Puerto Rico, Florida, Texas, Louisiana, South Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia.

We continue to ignore that for every job being spread around, one area in the United States lost some.

The Midwest has lost more jobs than the Sun Belt states of Arizona, Texas, Florida and Nevada.

Those die-hard Trump supporters will say that his leadership is successful. All the while, they find that their average wages are stalling.

Food prices, energy prices, rent, city services and college education have risen over the past year.

Real Reason To Why Unemployment Rate Stays The Way It Is!

There are 104 million active body people not working in the United States. The examples of why they're not working.

1. DEAD

2. BORN

3. IN PRISON

4. IN PRIMARY SCHOOL

5. IN MIDDLE SCHOOL

6. IN HIGH SCHOOL

7. IN COLLEGE NOT LOOKING

8. VOLUNTEER

9. DISABLED 

10. STAY AT HOME PARENT

11. RETIRED

12. QUIT ON THEIR OWN

13. NOT HIRING QUALIFIED

14. NATURAL DISASTERS

15. ACTIVE MILITARY 

16. NOT HIRING TOO QUALIFIED

17. LAID OFF

18. FIRED FROM THE JOB

19. DESTRUCTION TO FACILITY

20. OUTSOURCING

21. IMMIGRANTS TOO AFRAID OF BEING DETAINED BY I.C.E.

22. SHAMED BY SOCIAL MEDIA

Let me remind you, that Trump and Republicans believe austerity is the key to a strong economy and job market. The Republicans are not in control of the House of Representatives. The Democrats now control the House and will push for an agenda that Trump will likely oppose. Republicans will continue to pass ridiculous laws that hurt the working class and middle class.

The Jobs and Tax Cut Act has added trillions of dollars of debt to the economy. The results of the tax cuts haven't produced the stability. It's still considered a very unpopular law.

Deregulation has made safety a top priority. Many rollbacks of regulations imposed by Barack Obama and previous presidents have also made things worse. The removal from the Paris Climate Accords and the Iranian Nuclear Deal made things worse.

Trump has created tension with trade partners.

Trump moving the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem isn't productive as well. It has made the Middle East reject American investments.

Trump's support for Saudi Arabia and Russia's brutal takedown of dissents has made people uncomfortable with his leadership.

Trump's reset button on North Korea will only result in potential war in the Asian Pacific region.

Trump is destroying the economy. I won't say anything positive about him. Regardless of what happens, this is short-term success.

I believe in less than three years, Trump and Republicans will once again throw us into another recession. If the Democrats take control of the White House in 2020, we're already prepared to hear the loudest voices on the right blame the Democratic president for the mess Republicans created.

I wonder how trolls feed themselves in this economy?
