Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill
This isn't a democrat or republican issue. This is fucked up 6 ways from Sunday. Being elected to public office has become little more than a way to get rich for many politicians and that includes dems and republicans.
The fact that you think this is a nothing burger speaks to how our society has lost its way.Adversity temporarily visits a strong man but stays with the weak for a lifetime.Comment

Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill
Sure, there could be a conflict of interest there. Somehow our country must get to a place where we can call out our own party with as much vigor as we do the opposite party.
Take Pelosi, for example. She should probably be in prison right now for insider trading but congress rewrote the laws to make it legal for them to profit on insider knowledge.
How much longer will we tolerate this kind of behavior and are we willing to call out our own party?Adversity temporarily visits a strong man but stays with the weak for a lifetime.Comment

US Payrolls gain 467,000 in January despite Omicron surge
Payrolls rose far more than expected in January despite surging omicron cases that seemingly sent millions of workers to the sidelines, the Labor Department reported Friday.
Nonfarm payrolls surged by 467,000 for the month, while the unemployment rate edged higher to 4%, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The Dow Jones estimate was for payroll growth of 150,000 and a 3.9% unemployment rate.
The stunning gain came a week after the White House warned that the numbers could be low due to the pandemic.
Covid cases, however, have plunged nationally in recent weeks, with the seven-day moving average down more than 50% since peaking in mid-January, according to the CDC. Most economists, while expecting January’s number to be weak, see a further rebound coming in the months ahead.
Along with the big upside surprise for January, massive revisions sent previous months considerably higher.
December, which initially was reported as a gain of 199,000, went up to 510,000. November surged to 647,000 from the previous reported 249,000. For the two months alone, the initial counts were revised up by 709,000. The revisions came as part of the annual adjustments from the BLS that saw sizeable changes for many of the months in 2021.
“The benchmark revisions helped the numbers a bit just because it moved out some of the seasonal factors that have been at work. But overall the job market is strong, particularly in the face of omicron,” said Kathy Jones, chief fixed income strategist at Charles Schwab. “It’s hard to find a weak spot in this report.”
For January, the biggest employment gains came in leisure and hospitality, which saw 151,000 hires, 108,000 of which came from bars and restaurants. Professional and business services contributed 86,000, while retail was up 61,000.
There was more good jobs news: The labor force participation rate rose to 62.2%, a 0.3 percentage point gain. That took the rate, which is closely watched by Fed officials, to its highest level since March 2020 and within 1.2 percentage points of where it was pre-pandemic.
A more encompassing level of unemployment that counts discouraged workers and those holding part-time jobs for economic reasons dropped to 7.1%, 0.2 percentage point decline and to just above its pre-pandemic level.
The job gains brought employment back to about 1.7 million below where it was in February 2020, a month before the pandemic declaration.
.. despite doom and gloom from the right wing media the US economy and employment numbers have almost never been better under the experienced guidance of President Biden and his team of advisors.Comment

- The U.S. added over 450,000 jobs in January 2022 amid strong demand for workers at restaurants, retailers and mail and parcel delivery companies.
- The leisure and hospitality sector, which the Covid-19 pandemic has hit especially hard, added more than 150,000 jobs in the first month of 2022.
- Retail had healthy job gains in January as employers added 61,400 to payrolls, the industry’s second-best print over the last 12.
- Workers who pick up and deliver packages and mail saw employment pop by 21,200 last month while warehousing and storage facilities added 13,400.
Despite a spike in omicron Covid-19 cases, U.S. employers managed to add over 450,000 jobs last month thanks to robust hiring at restaurants and bars, retailers and mail and parcel delivery workers.
The leisure and hospitality sector, which the Covid-19 pandemic has hit especially hard, added more than 150,000 jobs in the first month of 2022. The gain represents the latest in a string of strong numbers for the sector, which includes restaurants, hotels, casinos and theme parks.
Leisure and hospitality has added an average of 196,000 jobs each month over the last 12 months, well ahead of any other industry as it rebounds from the worst of the pandemic. But thanks to the widespread business closures in 2020, the sector is still short by 1.8 million jobs, or 10.3%, compared to where employment stood in February 2020.
Within the sector, restaurants and bars added 108,000 jobs, accommodation added just over 22,000 and amusement, gambling, and recreation venues tacked on 20,000.
Retail had healthy job gains in January as employers added 61,400 to payrolls, the industry’s second-best print over the last 12 months. Health and personal care stores hired 11,300, department stores added about 12,000 and warehouse clubs rose by 16,700.
“The jobs report blew away expectations across the board. The headline number of 467,000 was multiples above expectations, wages came in hot, and most importantly the labor force participation rate rose all during a period where Omicron cases spiked,” Cliff Hodge, chief investment officer for Cornerstone Wealth, said in an email.
Transportation and warehousing also posted a strong January with a gain of 54,200 jobs as thousands of couriers and messengers returned to the workforce. Workers who pick up and deliver packages and mail saw employment pop by 21,200 last month while warehousing and storage facilities added 13,400.
The U.S. economy hired 7,500 truckers in January 2022, the third-best month of the last 12 for a subset of the U.S. workforce watched closely for supply-chain relief.
“In January, job gains occurred in couriers and messengers (+21,000), warehousing and storage (+13,000), truck transportation (+8,000), and air transportation (+7,000),” the Labor Department said in a press release. “All four of these component industries have surpassed their February 2020 employment levels, with particularly strong growth in warehousing and storage (+410,000) and couriers and messengers (+236,000).”
January was a strong month for the broad professional and business services sector, which added 86,000 jobs, with decent gains among computer system designers and management consultants.
Many economists said they were happy to see the labor force participation rate and the employment-to-population ratio both climb 0.3 percentage points in January. The Labor Department said the increase in the participation rate was thanks to a bump in the size of the population in age groups that participate in the labor force at high rates.
Average hourly earnings rose 0.73% month over month, their fastest clip since December 2020. Average hourly earnings were up 5.68% compared to where they were in January 2021, the hottest annual pace since spring 2020.Comment

Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill
The jobs report and bidens make of it are bullshit. We are not even close to the job numbers from before the virus. Then we were shut down in lockdown. Many people still not working and have been dropped off the books. Every other business has a help wanted sign outside. It only makes sense that there are lots of people going back to work but those numbers Are not bidens doing. They would be there just the same no matter who is in office.Comment

Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill
You are so brained washed by the liberal media and the Democrat party that you are no longer capable of recognizing the truth. Well let me attempt to straighten you out. The only true traitors affiliated with January 6, 2021 are all Democrats plus 2 RINOs. By this time next year I expect them to all be up on Federal charges including Nancy Pelosi.Comment
