Maybe you could explain to me why 75,000 jobs is a bad thing?
Breaking...
When you have been clipping along at north of 200, and you reduce the job growth rate by more than 50% from the preceding month, that may be an indication that things may be starting to cool off. So, 75,000 new jobs in and of themselves are not a "bad thing", but the sudden steep decline from previous growth rates may an indicator of future "bad things".
Did that help?

Cuz we're closing in on full employment for those who want a job

Actually, I just heard that there is an offset and there was zero-net gain.
The unemployment rate stayed at 3.6%. but that's a rounded-off figure.
Deplorables don't seem to have many answers for this one.![]()
There are still one million job openings. It would appear there is full employment.
Obama inherited a bad economy thanks, largely to inaction in the Dem. controlled Congress. It was improving during the final final months of W's admin and this continued, slowly, through the Obama years and improved more rapidly under Trump. Unemployment will never reach 0%, but it's about as close to that now as it has ever been during peacetime. There are always people graduating from college or high school, being discharged from the military or seeking new jobs for other reasons.
