EXPECT MORE! 

The jobs report shows for the month of April, the labor market added 266,000 jobs. A far disappointment from the 1.2 million jobs that were expected. We have over 600,000 Americans dead from the coronavirus.

The unexpected results has President Joe Biden fumed. He said that the likely slow down is due to companies struggling to find workers. After all, many Americans are not going to work for less than $10 an hour. 

Many Americans who opt out of working are still using the unemployment benefits from the American Rescue Plan which has extended to September.

The US economy added only 266,000 jobs in April on the anniversary of the worst job loss for any month on record. That was far less than forecasts of economists, who had predicted America would add 1 million jobs last month.

The unemployment rate rose to 6.1% in April, up from 6% a month earlier, as more people returned to the labor force to look actively for work, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said Friday. The March jobs numbers were also revised down to 770,000 from 916,000 reported initially.

It was the slowest improvement for jobs since January. Experts predicted that the vaccine rollout and the reopening of the economy would jolt hiring.

US employers added 266,000 jobs in November, up from 156,000 added in October, the Labor Department reported Friday. The gains include auto workers who returned to work after a six-week strike at General Motors. https://t.co/sG1F475hNt pic.twitter.com/acKZrfNIOm

Jobs jolt - the US economy adds a mere 266,000 #jobs in April.

Is this a labor demand problem or a labor supply problem?

In normal times, adding 266,000 jobs in one month would be a solid performance. But nothing is normal in this pandemic era, and America is still down 8.2 million jobs versus February last year before the Covid-19 hit. The disappointing April jobs number shows the road to recovery from the pandemic remains bumpy.

The U.S. is hiring but many Americans are not willing to work with a pandemic ongoing.

But the labor market isn't necessarily in trouble.

As analysts come to terms with how wrong their forecasts were, they point to other data like weekly claims for unemployment benefits as proof that improvements are continuing: Last week, jobless claims dropped below 500,000, a new pandemic-era low.

"With most of the high-frequency indicators still pointing to further improvement and jobless claims falling like a stone in recent weeks ... we doubt that it signals the recovery is at risk," said Capital Economics senior US economist Michael Pearce.

The job market also isn't just snapping back to what it was before Covid-19. The dislocations across different industries and worker demographics has been too big to recover from while Covid-19 continues to infect tens of thousands of people every day.

Lower-income earners, women, Hispanic and Black workers bore the brunt of the pandemic layoffs and millions remain out of work. Yet some industries can't find workers. That may seem contradictory, but it is proof that the job market is changing under the force of the pandemic.

Industries reliant on social interactions are still rebuilding after shuttering completely last year. The hospitality and leisure industry added 331,000 jobs last month — and more than half of that increase was positions at restaurants and bars, underscoring how beneficial the rollback of pandemic restrictions is for the industry. Yet, it is still down 2.8 million jobs compared to pre-pandemic times.

Meanwhile, factories and manufacturers have trouble finding specialized and even entry-level workers as employees worry that those jobs could be sent overseas or replaced by robots.

"The details of the data show signs that the pool of available labor is extremely tight," wrote Jefferies economists Thomas Simons and Aneta Markowska in a note to clients.

Manufacturing employment declined by 18,000 jobs last month. Other areas that registered job losses were temps in business services, couriers and retail. Seasonal factors, as well as shortages could have been the reason, according to PNC chief economists Gus Faucher.

Meanwhile, average hourly earnings jumped 21 cents to $30.17 last month. That was more than economists expected, and it suggests "employers are turning to higher wages to entice workers off of their couches and also asking current employees to work longer to cover scheduling gaps," said Simons and Markowska.

The average workweek increased by 0.1 hour to 35 hours last month. In manufacturing the average hours worked per week stood unchanged at 40.5 hours.

Things that make you go hmmm...

1. The coronavirus has killed over 600,000 Americans. 

2. The Senate is stalling gun reform, voting rights and infrastructure spending. Due to the Republicans and two Democratic senators inaction, Congress is at a crossroads. They won't get nothing done despite Americans are need of quick action. Republicans vow to not work with Biden on legislation.

3. Some companies are starting to allow in-person working.

4. The United States has led the way in vaccination. Pfizer, Mordona, Astrazeneca and Johnson & Johnson have enough vaccines to treat most Americans.

5. Biden's job approval is 54% - 46% at present time.

6. The border issue is not big enough for the junk food media. They are focused on Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) and her feud with Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) and Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY). 

7. Americans are slowly returning back to normal life. Many Republican-led states are repealing mask mandates and are returning back to the full capacity gatherings. Despite the CDC warnings, the Republicans are ditching the notion of safely reopening to just partisan rancor.

Now again, we have 331.3 million Americans. The spread of 266,000 jobs has to go to the 50 states, five U.S. territories and the District of Columbia. Those who gave up looking for work also keeps the numbers down. Somehow, folks giving up looking for jobs also affects the economy.

Biden has achieved his goal of getting over 200 million vaccinations. So far there has been over 140 vaccinated Americans. There are still some who refused to be vaccinated and it could impact the progress in combating the pandemic.

Republicans vow to oppose Biden.

Biden also touted his infrastructure plan which would raise taxes on those single filers who make over $400,000 and couples making up over $800,000. 

Biden wants to return tax rates to 28% after Washed Up 45 lowered them to 21%. 

Biden has pitched another relief package for those who are still struggling. Because first responders are working nonstop. Dealing with idiots who refuse to wear masks and social distance have been stressful to the medical and science community. 

Here's the outliner of the unemployment by state, territory and the District of Columbia.

Now many facilities are dealing with the fallout of the coronavirus. They are setting up face guards, they reducing facility capacities, cutting hours and making mandatory distancing at businesses.

No one can wait forever for changes. Congress is made up of old, white and well off politicians.

Food prices, energy prices, rent, city services and college education have risen. With folks not working, the fears of being thrown on the street are live and direct. Folks are struggling to make ends meet as well as landlords, mortgage brokers and those who need the money to repair facilities.

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

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.

Biden inherits a huge mess from Washed Up 45. Biden won't get a pass from conservative agitators.In the four years of his presidency, America has become more divided, sicker, poorer and dumber. 

Despite Johnson & Johnson, Astrazeneca, Pfizer and Moderna rolling out their vaccines, there are some American people who refuse to get vaccinated. It would be a grave mistake to turn a health crisis into political theater.

Estimate counts of the dead will likely be a million by August. There will be nearly 1.4 million Americans dead. There will be possible new strains entering the country and being immune to the coronavirus vaccination.

If things don't improve, we might call ourselves and endangered species. Trust me, the United States has for the first time had a slower birth rate. Our death rate has increased significantly. 

Due to the coronavirus and gun violence, the country will be stalling on growth.
