Thank you for making me clarify myself. I am not, and i don't think anyone else is, saying that a lower unemployment rate isn't a great thing. I think the issue is what comes across as a breathless headline, article and some comments here claiming that because of Trump things are off the charts fantastic. The truth is they are better, they had been getting significantly better prior to Trump's election, at least as far as the reported unemployment numbers. But, if you want to be honest about (possibly dishonest) numbers the unemployment rate had already significantly improved while Obama was still in office and there's been a 1% improvement since Trump's election.
I'll say it. A decrease in the unemployment rate is not necessarily a good thing, and does not necessarily mean that more people are working. For example,
1) UR (aka UE) only counts employment (or lack thereof), not quality of employment. 40 hours flipping burgers is just as "good" as 40 hours doing brain surgery. [Note: the latest jobs report showed good news in this regard, with increases in quality jobs]
2) UR only counts those who are looking for work. If, all other things being equal, a whole bunch of people give up looking, the UR will go down.
3) Lower UR can be an indication of a stagnant economy and people being afraid to change jobs.` Or an economy that is overheating, and therefore, according to a theory that is falling out of favor, may indicate oncoming price inflation.
