A total of 29,000 jobs were added to the U.S. economy in September, according to a report published Friday from the Labor Department, a figure “far short of expectations,” The Wall Street Journal reported.
According to the Journal, analysts were expecting 84,000 jobs to be added to the U.S. economy in September, a figure nearly three times greater than what the Labor Department reported. Additionally, the unemployment rate for September was also found to be slightly worse than what analysts predicted, ticking up from 4.1% to 4.2%.
“In addition to the weakness in September, the August jobs count was revised lower to reflect a gain of 133,000 while July switched from a gain to a loss as payrolls fell by 10,000,” CNBC reported. “The revisions in total showed 60,000 fewer jobs than previously reported.”

It’s possible the “analysts” expecting 84k more jobs are decent, earnest people…but come on. This is Chump running the economy. Expect bankruptcy, scandal, and prison. You stupid, silly old man!

Yep - an eye for an eye really accomplishes nothing.

I’m wondering where the 29K came from. Summer tourism is over, so there should’ve been a lot of layoffs there, alone.

Alice laughed. ‘There’s no use trying,’ she said. ‘One can’t believe impossible things.’
‘I daresay you haven’t had much practice,’ said the Queen. 'When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast…" (Quote by Lewis Carroll: “Alice laughed. 'There's no use trying,' she sai...” )

“Businessman” is doing a lot of work here. I would say Criminal. If I want to be generous, Criminal Businessman.
Of course, Paxton helped him get his (Criminal Businessman) Dad pardoned. Just all part of the Paul Pogue Paxton post-probation pardon-palooza pay-to-play prison postponement Plano process as presented by Politico.

But no “Paul McLaren” actually lives in Plano, and the address on file traces back to a rented mailbox inside a strip mall.
The real donor is Ben Pogue, a Texas businessman whose father, construction executive Paul Pogue, pleaded guilty in 2010 to filing a false tax return after underreporting his income by nearly $1.7 million — and who received a pardon from President Donald Trump in 2020, Politico reported.
According to the Politico investigation, Paul Pogue, “… avoided prison time and ended up getting three years of probation. Trump pardoned him in 2020, with the White House saying he had pleaded guilty to protect the 150 employees of his company and that for more than 30 years he had given ‘significant humanitarian aid to countries around the world.’ The White House at the time said that Paxton, among others, had supported the pardon.”

Actually, fiscal year 2027 started yesterday. The 2027 cuts are being rolled out as we speak - to SNAP, for example. Stuff that has annual enrollments will wait until Jan. 1 but the notification letters go out in October. People will know how badly they will be hit before the election.

What a strange movie that was. A decent sci-fi premise that veered into High Camp in the production.

Yeah, March 23, Capitol Bullets at Atlanta, Jack and Fani were there to see Pistol Pete pour in 34 points and to plot the downfall of Tricky Dick.
The Hawks franchise moved to Atlanta from St Louis after the 1967-68 season. Prior to that they were the Milwaukee Hawks for four seasons and before that they were the Tri-Cities Blackhawks (the three cities being Rock Island and Moline, IL, and Davenport, IA). They were never affiliated with Buffalo.
But the big takeaway–Jack and Fani, they got Nixon back in 74 and were trying for Trump a couple years ago. I wonder if they were conspiring against Reagan in the mid-80s while watching Dominique dominate?
