How's the economy? January jobs report released, shows...DISASTER!! Wait...

As usual, on the first Friday of each month the Labor Department releases the jobs report for the month just ended.

Liberals, Democrat politicians and NeverTrumpers--who were all screaming that the gruberment shutdown was all Trump's fault (not a single media outlet assigned even a scintilla of blame to congressional Dems who shrieked that they would NEVER give Orangeman even a single dollar for the wall) had screamed that the shutdown was devastating the economy, so they predicted the jobs report would be a disaster.

And sure enough, the Labor munchkins reported that the economy added just 304,000 jobs in January.
 
Wait...is that good or bad?  What's an average number?  What number did Democrat leaders and supporters predict?

Unless you're a hiring exec or a political junkie you don't know any of these things, eh? 

As it happens, if the economy adds around 220,000 jobs in a month, that's very good.  So the creation of 304,000 jobs in January was a huge success.  It's also worth noting that economists had predicted just 165,000 new jobs.  Wow, they were low by about 80 percent.

You'd think any forecaster who's that bad should be fired, eh?

And note that this surge in hiring comes despite the longest government shutdown in U.S. history and growing concern about a global economic downturn.

Oh, and remember what economists and the Left and Dem congressional slugs were screaming when Trump went toe-to-toe with China and slapped a few billion dollars in tariffs on their products?  Yep, they were all screaming that the tariffs would utterly devastate the U.S. economy.  How'd that work out for 'em? 

So do ya think any reporter in the entire Lying Media will ever re-visit those horrible predictions of disaster and show you how badly the Dems missed that prediction (along with hundreds of others)?

Oh, you bet.  But maybe not soon.  Inside betting is they'll do that story in 2048.  Or maybe not.

Low-information Dem voter:
"Wait...you say "the government was shutdown" for the entire month of January, and yet somehow 304,000 new jobs were added?  That doesn't make sense!  CNN says the government is the source of jobs and prosperity.  Adding a near-record number of jobs during a shutdown would mean...would...uh...uh...would mean the government does NOT create most of the jobs, so is NOT the source of prosperity.  That's not possible!"
Here's a little experiment:  See if or how the Lying Media report this great performance.  Then imagine how they would have reported exactly the same event if it had occurred under Obama.

H/T Ace of Spades.
**Mandatory Google warning:  "We have not verified the above claims.  In fact, because 20 percent of the government was shut down for the longest time ever--a cruel, devastating 35 days--it's almost certain that any numbers released by the Labor Department at this time were rushed, preliminary, and likely wrong due to no one working there for 35 days.
   Remember, you should never trust claims made in 'blogs' by anonymous private citizens.  You should only trust news verified by Google or one of our Trusted Sources.  We are the only source of accurate news.  If it's not from us, it's likely fake."**
