An internal poll conducted for President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign shows voters are more concerned with jobs and the economy, as well as the coronavirus, than with stopping racial injustice or upholding law and order.
The poll, commissioned by Trump-aligned non-profit America First Priorities and <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2020/09/01/donald-trump-internal-poll-likely-voters-jobs-economy-coronavirus-covid-law-order-racial-injustice/">obtained exclusively</a> by The Daily Caller, found that 20% of respondents listed “Jobs/The Economy” as their most important issue, 16% listed “Fighting COVID-19,” 3% said “Upholding Law and Order,” and 4% said “Stop Racial Injustice.” A full 61% of respondents “either didn’t answer, don’t have a preference, or named an issue outside the 8 listed survey options as their most important issue,” the Caller’s Christian Datoc reported.
More from the Caller:
<blockquote>The ideological breakdown showed Independents’ issue choices aligning more closely with those of Republicans than Democrats. 23 percent of Independents listed jobs and the economy as their top issue, 15 percent said fighting coronavirus, 4 percent selected law and order, while just 2 percent are most concerned with stopping racial injustice. The Republican and Democrat splits for those issues were 28-8-7-1 and 11-24-1-6 respectively.
Additional questions showed potential problems for Democrats. Respondents gave Trump a +14 economic job approval rating (56-42), while Republicans earned an 8 point advantage (50-42) over Democrats when survey participants were asked which party “they trust more to rebuild the economy following the COVID-19 pandemic.”
43 percent of participants also blamed Democrats in Congress for cratering negotiations over a second coronavirus stimulus package, compared to 26 percent blaming Congressional Republicans and 14 percent blaming Trump himself.</blockquote>
Further, the poll showed that 44% of respondents blamed Democrats for the “rise in violent crime, poverty, homelessness and civil unrest we are currently witnessing in these cities,” while 41% blamed Republicans for the same. The poll found that 40% of respondents still believe the protests that spawned across the country over the police-involved death of George Floyd have not lost their focus on racial inequality, but 51% agreed with the response, “these protests have stopped being about racial injustice and have become violent riots by people who hate America and want to tear down our government and radically change American culture.”
The poll follows other national polls that show Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s lead over Trump nearly vanishing in the wake of the riots that have led to increased crime and even homicides over the past few months. As The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/cnn-poll-shows-biden-dropping-trump-gaining-bidens-support-among-gop-leaning-voters-halved">reported</a>, a CNN poll from mid-August showed Biden and Trump neck-and-neck in 15 so-called battleground states: Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Wisconsin.
An Emerson College poll from Tuesday also found Trump and Biden nearly tied, The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/new-emerson-college-poll-trump-almost-tied-with-biden">reported</a>:
<blockquote>An Emerson College Poll <a href="https://emersonpolling.reportablenews.com/pr/august-2020-presidential-race-tightens-after-party-conventions">conducted the last two days</a> of August found that President Trump has narrowed the gap with Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden to a near-tie, with Biden garnering 49% of respondents’ votes and Trump getting 47%.
That margin has closed since the July <a href="https://emersonpolling.reportablenews.com/pr/july-national-poll-biden-maintains-lead-in-presidential-race-majority-support-nationwide-mask-mandate-in-public-spaces">national poll</a>, when Biden led 50% to 46%. Spencer Kimball, Director of Emerson College Polling, stated that “the Republican convention gave Trump his most positive week of news coverage which likely attributes to his bounce in this month’s poll and increasing job approval.”</blockquote>

Hope for an economic recovery has dwindled after the Labor Department released its weekly jobless claims on Thursday, which totaled 1.4 million – an increase over the previous week’s 1.3 million claims.
As The Washington Examiner (full disclosure: my former employer) <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/1-4-m-jobless-claims-last-week-as-unemployment-benefit-boost-set-to-end">reported</a>, this was the “first weekly increase in jobless claims since the end of March, when new applications peaked at 6.9 million, a troubling sign of danger for the economic recovery.”
“The uptick in jobless claims comes as some states have reversed reopening plans for their economies. Coronavirus hotspots had the highest number of claims. Claims for the week ending July 11 were over 65,000 in Florida, more than 33,000 in Georgia, and roughly 20,000 in California,” the outlet continued. “The increase in claims comes as the $600 enhanced unemployment benefit comes to an end.”
House Democrats voted in May to extend the additional $600 in unemployment benefits until January of next year, but Senate Republicans don’t appear to be on board, instead suggesting to the White House that a smaller amount be extended for a shorter period of time. On Wednesday, however, it was announced the short-term extension wouldn’t happen.
&#8220;We&#8217;re really trying to look at trying to make sure that we have a comprehensive bill that deals with the issues. Any short-term extensions would defy the history of Congress, which would indicate that it would just be met with another short-term extension,&#8221; White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows said, <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/508605-white-house-senior-republicans-pour-cold-water-on-short-term-unemployment">according to The Hill</a>.
The Republican Senate will now tie the additional unemployment benefit to a new coronavirus relief package.
As The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/small-business-owner-gets-coronavirus-relief-loan-to-keep-employees-on-payroll-now-her-employees-are-angry">reported</a>, business owners found it difficult to get employees to come back due to the $600 extra in unemployment benefits, which gave some people more money than if they were to return to work.
In one example, a Washington State spa owner received a forgivable loan from the Small Business Administration through the Paycheck Protection Program. Yet when she told her employees what she thought was good news, many of them became angry.
The employees were angry that they would lose the additional money, even though it was never permanent. Some of them later apologized to the spa owner after realizing that if they didn’t come back to work, there might not be a job to come back to after the extra unemployment funds vanished.
“I couldn’t believe it,” the spa owner, Jamie Black-Lewis, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2020/04/22/she-got-a-paycheck-protection-loan-her-employees-hate-her-for-it.html?__source=sharebar|twitter&amp;par=sharebar">told CNBC</a>. “On what planet am I competing with unemployment?”
Black-Lewis received two loans from the PPP, one for $177,000 and the other for $43,800, to help her two spas in Woodinville and Bothell. Black-Lewis previously had to stop paying all 35 employees and herself due to coronavirus shutdowns forcing “non-essential” businesses like spas and hair salons to close.
As the Examiner noted, average unemployment benefits in the U.S. were about $385 per week, meaning that the additional $600 allowed laid-off workers to make nearly $1,000 a week.

Retail sales had an incredible rebound in May, according to economic experts, charging up 17.7% as stores and other businesses reopened following coronavirus-related lockdowns.
The Trump administration has been touting a possible &#8220;v-shaped&#8221; economic recovery for weeks as initial unemployment claims have begun to taper off and Americans leave their homes and re-enter society for the first time following months of pandemic-related isolation. Many key economic indicators are beating expert projections, leading the White House to suggest that the American economy may be swiftly bouncing back from its sudden &#8212; but largely unavoidable &#8212; recession.
&#8220;Retail sales shattered already-lofty expectations for May as consumers freed from the coronavirus-induced lockdowns began shopping again,&#8221; <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2020/06/16/us-retail-sales-may-2020.html">CNBC reported Tuesday</a>. &#8220;The 17.7% headline gain including food sales easily topped the record 6.7% from October 2001 — a month after the 9/11 terrorist attacks — and beat the 8% estimate from economists surveyed by Dow Jones.&#8221;
Retail sales were 16.8% higher than they were in April, and consumers, CNBC says, rushed out to purchase clothing, accessories, and sporting goods. According to &#8220;top products&#8221; lists from some of the major big-box retailers, many Americans made a beeline for stores selling items like above-ground pools, as a way of entertaining themselves and their families during a summer where many public pools and parks remain closed over coronavirus concerns.
President Donald Trump was quick to seize on the news.
&#8220;Wow! May retail sales show biggest one-month increase of ALL TIME, up 17.7%. Far bigger than projected. Looks like a BIG DAY FOR THE STOCK MARKET, AND JOBS!&#8221; he tweeted early Tuesday.
Stocks did, in fact, jump Tuesday on the retail news, <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/us-stocks-june-16-2020">per Fox Business</a>, but also over indications that the Trump administration is considering a fourth coronavirus relief package, which could include a $1 trillion infrastructure plan as well as additional one-time payouts to American taxpayers.
&#8220;The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 818 points, or 3.2 percent, in the opening minutes of trading while the S&amp;P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite rose 2.78 percent and 2.33 percent, respectively,&#8221; Fox Business said Tuesday. &#8220;The president’s proposal would allocate most of the money for projects like roads and bridges, but would also provide funding for 5G wireless infrastructure and rural broadband.&#8221;
Retail stocks appear to be Tuesday&#8217;s biggest winners, with Macy&#8217;s, Nordstrom, Bed Bath &amp; Beyond, and Best Buy all seeing gains.
Experts are hopeful that the economic recovery will be swifter than expected, now that some of the first post-lockdown numbers are emerging. CNBC also reported, last week, that some stock market analysts are now confident that their coronavirus predictions were too dire, and that the economic damage from the virus was less than expected.
“It seems the damage from the nationwide lockdown was not as severe or as lasting as we feared a month ago,” one financial analyst told the network.

Retail Sales Jump Nearly 20% In May, Economy Shows Signs Of Resurgence

Retail Sales Jump Nearly 20% In May, Economy Shows Signs Of Resurgence | The Daily Wire

https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2020/06/GettyImages-1220260818-scaled.jpg

The unemployment rate for May was much lower than forecasters predicted, even though it should have been obvious that as the economy was allowed to reopen following the coronavirus shutdown, unemployment would drop.
On Friday, the Bureau of Labor Statistics revealed the unemployment rate had dropped to 13.3% for the end of May, The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/unemployment-rate-shocks-wall-street-drops-to-13-3-biggest-one-month-job-gain-since-1939">reported</a>. The drop shocked media outlets, who seemed to be disappointed that the number didn’t surge to 20% as predicted by Dow Jones experts.
A <a href="https://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.nr0.htm">special note</a> attached to the jobs report, however, indicated a “misclassification error” resulted in a lower unemployment rate than what should have been reported. The BLS classifies households according to “their answers to a series of questions about their activities during the survey reference week.”
“Workers who indicate they were not working during the entire survey reference week and expect to be recalled to their jobs should be classified as unemployed on temporary layoff. In May, a large number of persons were classified as unemployed on temporary layoff,” the bureau reported.
Here’s where the misclassification error occurred:
<blockquote>However, there was also a large number of workers who were classified as employed but absent from work. As was the case in March and April, household survey interviewers were instructed to classify employed persons absent from work due to coronavirus-related business closures as unemployed on temporary layoff. However, it is apparent that not all such workers were so classified. BLS and the Census Bureau are why this misclassification error continues to occur and are taking steps to address the issue.</blockquote>
Had the error not occurred, the unemployment rate would be “about 3 percentage points higher than reported (on a not seasonally adjusted basis),” or about 16.3%. The BLS will not change the reported unemployment rate, it said. The data would be accepted as record, which is standard practice for the bureau.
Jason Furman, former President Barack Obama’s top economist, tweeted that there was zero chance that someone in the Trump administration fiddled with BLS numbers to make the economy look better.
“You can 100% discount the possibility that Trump got to the BLS. Not 98% discount, not 99.9% discount, but 100% discount,” Furman tweeted. “BLS has 2,400 career staff of enormous integrity and one political appointee with no scope to change this number.”
The Washington Post <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2020/06/05/may-2020-jobs-report-misclassification-error/">reported</a> that this misclassification error has occurred since March due to how people described their work status as the country shut down over coronavirus fears.
“The BLS noticed this and flagged it right away. In March, the BLS said the unemployment rate likely should have been 5.4 percent, instead of the official 4.4 percent rate. In April, the BLS said the real unemployment rate was likely about 19.7 percent, not 14.7 percent,” the Post reported.
Even if accounting for the misclassifications, the unemployment rate dropped by three percentage points in May.

The United States&#8217; GDP shrank at &#8220;an even faster pace than initially estimated&#8221; in the first quarter of 2020, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2020/05/28/us-gdp-q1-2020-second-estimate.html">CNBC reported Thursday</a>, suggesting that coronavirus-related lockdowns had a more marked effect on the economy than many in the government anticipated.
There is at least one good sign, however: continuing unemployment claims dropped for the first time since reaching their peak in late March when more than 20 million individuals filed initial unemployment claims in the first round of coronavirus layoffs and furloughs.
&#8220;The Commerce Department reported Thursday that the gross domestic product, the broadest measure of economic health, fell at an annual rate of 5% in the first quarter, a bigger decline than the 4.8% drop first estimated a month ago,&#8221; CNBC said Thursday. &#8220;It was the biggest quarterly decline since an 8.4% fall in the fourth quarter of 2008 during the depths of the financial crisis.&#8221;
The 5% decline is greater than market analysts expected, which could mean that second-quarter results, which cover April through June of 2020 &#8212; the height of the coronavirus pandemic and the associated lockdowns &#8212; will be worse than expected as well. CNBC says the decline could be as much as 40%, the single largest drop since the Congressional Budget Office began compiling records on economic progress in 1947,
The decline in continuing unemployment applications, though, does give analysts some hope that coronavirus&#8217; economic damage can be contained and that the worst may be over. <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2020/05/28/labor-department-coronavirus-covid-19-unemployment-40-million-jobless-claims-continuing-claims-decrease/">The Daily Caller said Thursday</a> that &#8220;3 million people who had previously filed unemployment claims during the pandemic — and continued receiving benefits for more than one weekly period — have re-entered the workforce as multiple states, including Georgia, Florida, and Texas, have all begun the reopening process.&#8221;
May was a difficult month for most businesses, <a href="https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/beigebook202005.htm">per the Fed&#8217;s monthly economic report</a>, which says that the United States saw &#8220;a deep, nationwide plunge in consumer spending, manufacturing activity, travel and construction due to disruptions driven by the pandemic, sending shockwaves through the energy, real estate, auto, aerospace and agricultural industries.&#8221;
In May alone, <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/big-bankruptcies-sweep-u-fastest-100000110.html">Yahoo Finance reports</a>, &#8220;some 27 companies reporting at least $50 million in liabilities sought court protection from creditors &#8212; the highest number since the Great Recession. They range from well-known U.S. mainstays such as J.C. Penney Co. and J. Crew Group Inc. to air carriers Latam Airlines Group SA and Avianca Holdings, their business decimated as travelers stayed put.&#8221;
Experts are hopeful, though, that the declarations and bankruptcies are the end result of the lockdowns and represent financial conclusions, not the start of a trend. Forthcoming progress may not be enough for the country to fully recover from the economic devastation wrought by COVID-19, but there may at least be some forthcoming, slow, upward movement for businesses.
The White House is planning to add to that hope, rolling out an &#8220;economic opportunity&#8221; plan focused on returning specific industries to work as quickly as possible.

A quarter of U.S. workers believe they will be laid off in the next year, the highest measure since a record began in 1975.
Gallup released the results of the <a href="https://news.gallup.com/poll/308960/record-high-workers-say-job-loss-likely.aspx">poll</a>, a survey of 540 U.S. adults conducted April 1-14, on Wednesday. The record results come one year after the same poll measured workers’ confidence in their jobs at an all-time high, with just 8% fearing they would lose their jobs in the next year.
&#8220;The one-quarter of U.S. workers employed full or part time who think they are likely to lose their jobs in the next 12 months include 9% who say it is ‘very likely’ and 16% ‘fairly likely.’ Meanwhile, 37% say this is ‘not too likely’ and 38% ‘not at all likely,’&#8221; Gallup reports.
&#8220;We’ve never seen this before,&#8221; Gallup senior editor Jeff Jones told <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-04-22/americans-fear-of-job-loss-surges-to-45-year-high-poll-shows">Bloomberg</a>. &#8220;We’ve said we wouldn’t believe these numbers unless we were living through it.&#8221;
The poll also measured how long Americans expected to be able to support themselves after losing their jobs, with the majority of Americans saying they would experience &#8220;severe hardship&#8221; within four months. Many said they would not last that long, with 13% reporting within a week and 28% within a month. 12% said they could last up to a year and another 12% said they could last more than one year.
The U.S. unemployment rate is rising at record rates because of the coronavirus and the subsequent shut down of much of the economy, artificially closing thousands of small businesses and severely restricting the operations of many others. Since mid-March, nearly 22 million workers have <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/economy-is-falling-off-a-cliff-another-5-2-million-americans-filed-jobless-claims-last-week-totaling-22-million-in-last-month">filed</a> for unemployment insurance, according to Department of Labor data.
The massive figure is a rough estimate of how many Americans have either lost their jobs or been furloughed since state governments began using heavy-handed regulations to slow the spread of the virus within the U.S. The real number of people who have lost jobs is likely much higher, however, because the torrent of fresh unemployment filings have crashed state government websites and clogged phone lines, leaving many Americans unaccounted for.
The job crisis may have been exacerbated after the Paycheck Protection Program, a fund for small businesses to tap into to float them through the pandemic while they are not allowed to operate, ran out of its initial $350 billion investment last week.
Democrats stalled a Senate bill to replenish the fund until Tuesday, demanding that the new legislation earmark funding specifically for businesses owned by women, minorities, veterans, and other specific groups. The House is expected to vote on the bill on Thursday, a full week after the fund ran dry.
Also on Thursday, the Labor Department will release fresh data on unemployment claims. Experts predict that Thursday’s numbers will show another 4.5 million Americans have applied for unemployment insurance, bringing the total number of workers who have lost jobs since mid-March over 26 million, according to <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/coronavirus-covid-weekly-initial-jobless-claims-april-18-165759755.html">Yahoo Finance</a>.

Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) cheered the news that oil futures plunged below zero on Monday as demand due to the coronavirus pandemic continued to plummet.
Ocasio-Cortez tweeted: &#8220;You absolutely love to see it. This along with record low interest rates means it&#8217;s the right time for a worker-led, mass investment in green infrastructure to save our planet. *cough*
Ocasio-Cortez wrote her statement while promoting a tweet that stated: &#8220;Oil prices now at &#8216;negative values,&#8217; meaning oil producers have to pay people to take it off their hands and store it because when demand plunges (like now), that is less expensive for them than building more storage and/or shutting wells down.&#8221;

Ocasio-Cortez offered no apology for her remarks and instead kept going, tweeting: &#8220;Now is the time to create millions of good jobs building out the infrastructure and clean energy necessary to save our planet for future generations. For our economy, our planet, and our future, we need a #GreenNewDeal.&#8221;
Just last week, the Houston Chronicle reported:
<blockquote>
Oil and gas companies announced plans to cut more than 6,400 jobs on a grim day for the industry that saw the price of crude oil settle below $20 for the first time since 2001 and the amount of petroleum in U.S. storage rise by nearly 20 million barrels.
The most job losses came at Weatherford International, the Houston-based oil-field service company, which said Wednesday that it plans to cut 25 percent of its global workforce. A breakdown of where the layoffs will take place was not immediately available but the company had said it employed about 24,000 workers at the beginning of the year — meaning it will shed 6,000 jobs.
</blockquote>
Last year, Ocasio-Cortez was one of the people who <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-ocasio-cortez-doubles-down-sabotaging-amazon-hank-berrien">sabotaged</a> a deal where Amazon would have brought tens of thousands of new jobs to her district and billions of dollars of economic activity.
&#8220;Thirty-eight percent of voters faulted the congresswoman for the deal’s demise, identifying her as a &#8216;villain,'&#8221; The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/19/nyregion/newyorktoday/AOC-Amazon-nyc.html">reported</a>. &#8220;In the New York City suburbs, 50 percent of voters blamed Ms. Ocasio-Cortez.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau mocked President Donald Trump on Tuesday at a NATO summit in London, saying that Trump&#8217;s team&#8217;s &#8220;jaws drop[ped] to the floor&#8221; after watching the president&#8217;s behavior.
Trudeau&#8217;s mockery of Trump became international news, and the president immediately canceled a press conference that he was scheduled to participate in at the conclusion of a NATO summit in London.
On Friday, however, Trump got the last laugh after jobs reports were released for both countries that showed very different performance numbers to put it mildly.
CNBC <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2019/12/06/us-nonfarm-payrolls-november-2019.html">noted</a> the following highlights from the U.S. jobs report:
<ul>
<li>Nonfarm payrolls surged by 266,000 in November, better than the 187,000 expected by economists polled by Dow Jones.</li>
<li>The unemployment rate ticked down to 3.5% from 3.6%, back to the 2019 low and matching the lowest jobless rate since 1969.</li>
<li>Average hourly earnings rose by 3.1% from a year ago, slightly above the 3% expected by economists polled by Dow Jones.</li>
</ul>
CNS News <a href="https://www.cnsnews.com/article/national/susan-jones/158593000-employed-november-24th-record-breaker-trump">reported</a> that the 158,593,000 Americans who were employed in November marked “the 24th record of Trump&#8217;s presidency” in terms of the overall number of Americans in the workforce.
“This is a ‘who would have thought moment?’” Becky Frankiewicz, president of staffing company ManpowerGroup’s North America division, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/november-jobs-report-11575633600">told</a> The Wall Street Journal. “No one would have ever guessed we could be sitting at 3.5% unemployment with 110 months of job gains.”
Trudeau&#8217;s economy took a very different turn than the U.S. economy did as it registered the biggest drop in employment in a decade.
&#8220;Canada’s job market unexpectedly weakened for a second-straight month, registering the biggest drop in employment since 2009 and casting doubt on the resiliency of the domestic outlook,&#8221; The Financial Post reported. &#8220;The economy lost 71,200 jobs in November, Statistics Canada said Friday in Ottawa, following a decline of 1,800 in the prior month.&#8221;
&#8220;The report missed the median economist forecast for a gain of 10,000 jobs,&#8221; The Financial Post continued. &#8220;The unemployment rate increased to 5.9 per cent in the month, from 5.5 per cent in October, the biggest one-month jump since 2009. The decrease in employment was broad-based among both the goods-producing and service-producing sectors.&#8221;
Julia Pollak, labor economist at ZipRecruiter, noted, &#8220;Canada’s jobs report is disappointing, showing job losses for the second month in a row. But observers should remember that the numbers are highly volatile and that this is still the strongest year for job growth in Canada in 17 years.&#8221;
Donald Trump Jr. had a different take, writing on Twitter: &#8220;For perspective the US is about 10X the population of Canada so this would be the equivalent of America shedding 700,000 jobs. Yikes! Maybe Justin should watch <a class="css-4rbku5 css-18t94o4 css-901oao css-16my406 r-1n1174f r-1loqt21 r-1qd0xha r-ad9z0x r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0" role="link" href="https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump" data-focusable="true">@realDonaldTrump</a> &amp; learn how to create jobs&#8230; or go back to being a substitute drama teacher.

Trudeau&#8217;s mockery of Trump surprised some who noted online that he did not have a lot of room to make fun of anyone after his embarrassing blackface scandal earlier this year.
&#8220;Numerous photographs and videos surfaced earlier this year that showed Trudeau wearing blackface which is universally seen as racist and condescending to black people,&#8221; The Daily Wire reported. &#8220;Trudeau was later humiliated by school children who <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-canadian-schoolchildren-destroy-justin-trudeau-over-blackface-photos">confronted him on camera</a> about why he choose to wear racist blackface.&#8221;

On Friday, CNBC’s “Mad Money” host Jim Cramer appeared on the network’s “Squawk Box” to discuss the latest unemployment numbers released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) for the month of November.
“Total nonfarm payroll employment rose by 266,000 in November. Job growth has averaged 180,000 per month thus far in 2019, compared with an average monthly gain of 223,000 in 2018. In November, notable job gains occurred in health care and in professional and technical services,” reports <a href="https://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.nr0.htm">BLS</a>.
The bureau also noted that the “seasonally adjusted” unemployment rate dipped from 3.6% in October to 3.5% in November. Last year (November 2018), the unemployment rate was 3.7% “adjusted.”
Additionally, average hourly earnings for “all employees on private nonfarm payrolls” are up 86 cents from November 2018 ($27.43 to $28.29).
After noting that there was “growth with not very much inflation,” Cramer stated that he wished people “were making more money.”
He then mentioned cable news bias pertaining to the economy:
<blockquote>There&#8217;s a fellow by the name of Michael Cembalest &#8230; he is the Chairman of Market and Investment Strategy at J.P. Morgan. He came up with a list of what the cable companies – CNN, [MSNBC] – what do they cover. 16th is positive economic news. All the rest of them are negative. So, you know what&#8217;s going on here, Joe. People don&#8217;t want to say good things, and this is the best number I&#8217;ve ever seen in my life!</blockquote>
Host Joe Kernan then asked Cramer “how can it last forever?”
Cramer replied, speaking directly about the ongoing trade war with China:
<blockquote>It has to go up, Joe, because when we win the trade war, which you now know we&#8217;re going to win now because we have the better numbers, then they&#8217;re going to have to put jobs here. That&#8217;s what they&#8217;re going to have to do. And we&#8217;re not even talking about that yet. In the end, the Chinese are going to have to put jobs here. Because this thing is – the president can walk away from the table with this number.</blockquote>
After Kernan stated that Americans won’t “see that written or said anywhere,” Cramer responded, saying the “truth sets people free.”
Cramer added:
<blockquote>You can&#8217;t contradict that these are the best numbers of our lives. &#8230; I don&#8217;t see inflation; I don&#8217;t see recession. 50 years ago that number was a curse, now it&#8217;s a blessing. And you know something, Joe? It doesn&#8217;t matter whether you hate [Trump] or like him, these are real numbers.</blockquote>

On Wednesday, J.P. Morgan’s Michael Cembalest published a piece covering a variety of finial topics. In the piece, as Cramer stated on “Squawk Box,” Cembalest <a href="https://am.jpmorgan.com/blobcontent/1383651198191/83456/12-04-2019%20-%20War%20of%20the%20Worlds_AMV.pdf">charted</a> the coverage of four cable news shows (CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360” and “Cuomo Prime Time,” and MSNBC’s “Rachel Maddow Show” and “Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell”) over the course of one year (September 2018 &#8211; September 2019).
What Cembalest and his team found was that “positive economic news” came in 16th place under the “number of times [a] topic [was] discussed in depth” metric, below the following:
<blockquote>Mueller investigation/Russian interference
Trump is inept/erratic/mendacious/biased
Asylum and immigration
Trump Administration corruption
Presidential politics
Supreme Court
Natural disasters
Gun violence
International relations
Senate/Governors Races
North Korea
Trade war
Data privacy
Climate change
Opioids and prescription drug pricing</blockquote>
This isn’t surprising to anyone who follows this type of thing closely. As The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-former-msnbc-host-says-networks-coverage-frank-camp">previously reported</a>:
<blockquote>According to a report from the <a href="https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/rich-noyes/2019/01/15/networks-trashed-trump-90-negative-spin-2018-did-it-matter">Media Research Center</a> (MRC), from January 2017 through December 2018, 90% of the coverage of President Trump from the major network evening news programs (ABC, CBS, NBC) has been negative, while just 10% has been positive. The analysis excludes “neutral statements.”
MRC states: “To determine the spin of news coverage, our analysts tallied all explicitly evaluative statements about the President or his administration from either reporters, anchors or non-partisan sources such as experts or voters. Evaluations from partisan sources, as well as neutral statements, were not included.”
Of the 858 minutes spent by the big three networks’ evening newscasts discussing the Trump/Russia collusion story in 2018, 98% was “negative,” according to the MRC analysis. Of the 643 minutes covering immigration and the border, 94% was “negative.” The least negative of the big five “Trump-bashing” stories that received hundreds of minutes of airtime pertained to North Korea (410 minutes; 80% “negative”).</blockquote>

Thumbs up Trump.

The U.S. economy under President Trump is flourishing, as the new October jobs report shows that despite the General Motors autoworkers strike, nonfarm payrolls rose by 128,000, far more than Dow Jones had predicted prior to October. The rise came in the face of 42,000 jobs lost in the motor vehicles and parts industry.
Additionally, as <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2019/11/01/jobs-report-october-2019.html">CNBC noted</a>, “August’s initial 168,000 payrolls addition was revised up to 219,000, while September’s jumped from 136,000 to 180,000 … The pace of average hourly earnings picked up a bit, rising 0.1% to a year-over-year 3% gain.”
In good news for black Americans, their unemployment rate dropped to a record low &#8212; 5.4%. The total employment level rose to a new top rate of 158.5 million.
Steve Rick, chief economist at CUNA Mutual Group, told CNBC, “This report is yet another sign that the economy is still strong right now and adds to a list of indicators that are looking optimistic of late. The vigor of this labor market, along with a more positive housing market and solid Q3 GDP, should offer some welcome reassurance.”
Citigroup economist Andrew Hollenhorstechoed, “The October jobs report is unambiguously positive for the U.S. economic outlook. Above-consensus hiring in October, together with upward revisions to prior months, is consistent with our view that job growth, while clearly slower in 2019 than in 2018, will maintain a pace of 130-150K per month. Wage growth remaining at 3.0% should further support incomes and consumption-led growth.”
In August, President Trump, aware that the perception of how the economy is doing can affect consumers’ behavior; and also aware that Democrats’ incessant warning of a recession might be politically motivated, tweeted:
<blockquote>The Economy is strong and good, whereas the rest of the world is not doing so well. Despite this the Fake News Media, together with their Partner, the Democrat Party, are working overtime to convince people that we are in, or will soon be going into, a Recession. They are willing to lose their wealth, or a big part of it, just for the possibility of winning the Election. But it won’t work because I always find a way to win, especially for the people! The greatest political movement in the history of our Country will have another big win in 2020!</blockquote>
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) <a href="https://www.limaohio.com/news/370011/jordan-economy-still-strong">told reporters</a>:
<blockquote>Some of the Democrats are trying to say the world’s going to end tomorrow as far as the economy goes. But when I talk with business leaders — I talked with some this morning in Wapakoneta — and they’re like, “We’re turning down jobs because we’re swamped.” I don’t see what the Democrats are pushing right now. It’s kind of troubling to think some Democrats, it appears they’re almost wishing for a recession because they think it helps them politically instead of focusing on what’s best for our country. And obviously a recession is never good for our country … Like I said, most indicators right now are very positive and have been positive. I think confidence is still strong. I think confidence started to get strong about 4 a.m. on Nov. 9, 2016, when it was announced that President Trump was going to be our next president.</blockquote>

Speaking with an interviewer from New Hampshire Public Radio on Wednesday, Democratic presidential candidate Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), who has been pushing for Medicare-for-All, admitted that she agreed with a University of Massachusetts economist who surmised that implementing such a system would cause a tremendous loss of jobs.
The exchange started with Casey McDermott of NHPR asking Warren regarding Medicare-for-All: “Where’s the money going to come from?”
Warren dodged the question, answering, “So, I’m working on a plan on that and it’s going to be out soon. And it’ll talk about two things: both how much Medicare for All will cost, and how we can pay for it. So, it’s hard; it’s something I’ve been working on for a long time but I’ll have a plan on it soon.”
McDermott quoted a questioner asking, “Will my taxes go up under Medicare for All?”
Warren replied:
<blockquote>Let me put it this way; I have spent a big part of my life studying why families go broke. And one of the principal reasons is the cost of health care. Back when I was studying about two out of every three families that filed for bankruptcy did do following a serious medical problem and here’s the thing: about two out of three of them had health insurance at the onset of the illness or accident. In other words, people who have health insurance are still not covered but the costs brought them down.
So here’s how I think of this: we know that Medicare for All is the cheapest way to provide health care coverage for everyone, so we can pay for this. You will see, most likely, rich people’s costs go up; corporations’ costs go up, but the costs to middle class families will go down. I will not sign any legislation into law for which costs for middle class families do not go down. I’ve spent my life fighting for families who are on the edge of going broke, and we need to change that in this country, and one part of that is we’ve got to reduce the cost of the cost of health care.</blockquote>
<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/warren-agrees-medicare-for-all-could-result-in-two-million-jobs-lost-part-of-the-cost-issue">Fox News</a> noted, “A bipartisan study indicates it will be impossible to finance Warren&#8217;s plan using only taxes on the wealthiest Americans.”
McDermott then targeted the issue of jobs lost:
<blockquote>Regardless of what kind of money is involved, Medicare for All would likely result in a pretty significant kind of shift in how our health care system is structured. Even supporters of that approach within the health policy world have said that that likely would mean lost jobs in some form.
An economist with the University of Massachusetts-Amherst (Robert Pollin of UMass&#8217; Political Economy Research Institute) told Kaiser Health News earlier this year that that could result in about two million jobs lost. He said that would be mostly administrative positions and insurers, doctors’ offices, and he said that politicians who want to move toward that system, Medicare for All, have to think about what a “just transition, a fair transition” would look like. What would that look like for you?</blockquote>
Warren admitted, “So I agree. I think this is part of the cost issue and should be part of a cost plan. Although do recognize on this what we’re talking about, and that is in effect how much of our health care dollars have not gone to health care, how many of those dollars have been pulled out in other directions.”
