The Labor Department announced the economy added 178,000 Jobs in Marh and the unemployment rate came in at 4.3%. The Department also announced that February's jobs loss was 133,000 instead of the 92,000 originally reported. For the first quarter of 2026 a total of 175,000 net jobs were created for a monthly average of 23,773 jobs per month. A pitiful number but par for the Trump administration and the GOP.
By comparison, President Biden's administration for the same month in March of 2022, 398,000 jobs were created and the unemployment rate was 3.6%. Over 900,000 jobs were created in the first quarter of 2022. In Biden's first 63 months in office, over 5,000,000 jobs were created while in Trump's first 63 months in office the economy lost 2.3 million jobs.
The numbers continue to confirm the weakness of Trump and his party on the economy and has repeated itself over the past 86 years. It is a pitiful record for Trump and the GOP. And the media and public don't have a clue concerning the facts. They still rely on the BS and misinformation that comes out of the Trump administration and past GOP administrations.
Will the uninformed ever change??? Don't count on it.
