Economy beats expectations with 531,000 jobs in October, unemployment declines to 4.6%

The economy added 531,000 new jobs in October, more than expected.

The unemployment rate decreased to 4.6%, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday. The new rate marks the lowest level since March of last year, right as the pandemic began to take hold and restrictions went into effect.

Friday's report also showed that the previous two months' jobs growth was not as bad as previously thought, revising up the combined estimated gains by 235,000.

In October, the economy saw notable job gains in leisure and hospitality, in professional and business services, in manufacturing, and in transportation and warehousing, according to the bureau.

I suppose this is good news. I wonder how much of this is the typical seasonal spike for the holidays.

Reslience of Americans despite the mass ineptitude of Pedo Joe.   Problem is....  at some point you get fatigued fighting 50 mph headwinds.
Can we hold out until the midterms, 2024?  I have might doubts.
I display the Confederate Battle Flag in honor of my great great great grandfathers who spilled blood at Wilson's Creek and Shiloh.  5 others served in the WBTS with honor too.

 100,450,000: More Than 100 Million Not in Labor Force for 14th Straight Month; No Job, Not Looking
By Susan Jones | November 5, 2021 | 7:19am EDT

(CNSNews.com) - The Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics announced on Friday that 100,450,000 people in this country were not in the labor force in October, up 38,000 from the 100,412,000 in September.

This is the 14th straight month that this "not in the labor force" number has remained above 100,000,000.

Persons who are neither employed nor unemployed are not in the labor force. This category includes retired persons, students, those taking care of children or other family members, and others who are neither working nor seeking work.

Among those not in the labor force in October, 1.3 million persons said they were prevented from looking for work due to the pandemic. This measure is down from 1.6 million in September.

The number of people not in the labor force reached a record high of 103,418,000 in April 2020, as the pandemic took hold; and the highest it's been under President Joe Biden is 100,708,000 this past February.

Job creation my this is what happens when inflated unemployment benefits run out and lazy leaches are forced to go back to their jobs. Let's wait and see the spin when all those who have refused to comply with Der Fuhrers vaccination mandate are applying for unemployment.

Pres. Biden: "The job creation in the first full nine months in my administration is about 5.6 million new jobs—a record for any new president."

If you take omit new government workers, then Biden's number falls below Trump's.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

This is actually good news for now.

Of course, the problem is going to be if the OSHA vaccine mandate is allowed to stand and goes into affect. We have lost a lot of staff at the hospital I work for because they’ve mandated the jab.

Another problem any wage gains are quickly eaten up by inflation
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

I understand there actually was a reduction in jobs growth in the manufacturing and service sectors.  This increase was biased by significant increases in governmental employees rolls.
Which is essence is BAD news on all fronts.

They need those increased government employees to go after parents
