Our real unemployment is basically Zero.
I wonder if Trump had something to do with it. So hard to tell. :)
Obama supporters seem upset at Trump's success. If you want to be with the winners, just change sides. It's so simple.

In the past, telling employers "no, I'm not doing this or that, or no, I'm not traveling" - has often led to getting laid off in a round about way.
This past year I quit being a company man, since my own business is doing so well - and I've told my employer "no" to every single request (travel, on-site, weekend work - will you do this for an extra $20K) - and they can't fire my ass because #1 They CANNOT find qualified employees since the job market is so tight. #2 They CANNOT keep qualified employees because so many other companies are offering better $$ and they are losing people left and right.
I love this job market.
You are exploiting the poor employer. We need more laws.
Now would be a good time to cut off most long-term welfare to people under 65. I bet we'll see a huge number of citizens suddenly entering the labor pool (or starving or jail). Unfortunately, many of them will be a poor fit for the jobs available, but there's no way people will then be claiming there a shortage of labor — only a shortage of skills. Unfortunately, labor laws and minimum wage laws will make sure these people have no opportunity to learn on the job. And they certainly aren't learning useful job skills in school!

What do you consider a huge number? There are only 1.4 million on TANF down from 4.4 million when clinton reformed it. Why does Trump keep saying welfare is out of control when the numbers are way down?

Trump supporters seem too willing to call something a big Trump success that's just the eighth year of a trend. If it's the 8th year of a trend, then there must be other things at work besides the guy that's President the last year or so.
TANF is but one; maybe you could say it's a success story. In fact, it's down quite a bit in the last 2 or 3 years. When I wrote "welfare" and also "[people] taking taxpayer money" I was referring to the large number of taxpayer-funded assistance programs that have expanded in number and in number of people using them
It's year 2 of a trend.
When Barry had great employment number - the Golden Golem of Greatness called them fake news, made up bullshit, etc. but now they are the real deal ?
How does that work exactly ?
One president's fake bogus numbers miraculously turn into the god almighty truth for the next guy, if he is Don the Con.

For the first time since the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) began keeping job opening records in 2000, the number of jobs available in America exceeds the number of people looking for jobs. The milestone was reached this week when the BLS released employment data for March showing 6,550,000 job openings, or 204,000 more than the number of unemployed people in the country.
