JOB NUMBERS - May 2018

"Why May’s jobs numbers are undeniably good" PBS NewsHour 6/1/2018

NOTE:  This is NOT due to Trump.  Eight years in a row.

Excerpt

SUMMARY:  May marked a record 92nd straight month [8 yrs] of job growth in the U.S., featured better than expected wage growth, and unemployment fell to the lowest rate in 18 years.  While America's economic engine appears to be firing on all cylinders, trade tensions and uncertainty are rising.  Judy Woodruff talks with Neil Irwin of The New York Times, and Diane Swonk chief economist of Grant Thornton.
