Trump's first-year jobs numbers were very, very good.
On Friday morning, the government’s Bureau of Labor Statistics released employment numbers for December, bookending President Trump’s first year in office. While the number of jobs added was lower than many analysts expected — up 148,000 — it was a continuation of the trend of growth seen over the course of 2017.
With those numbers in hand, we can now compare Trump’s first year in office to his predecessors’. And in that comparison, Trump comes out looking pretty good.
But we’re comparing first years here, and on that metric Trump consistently outperforms Obama.
Trump will certainly be pleased by two other first-year comparisons. Between January and December of last year, the country added 184,000 manufacturing jobs, the third-most of the presidents for whom data is available after Carter and John Kennedy.

155,965,000 Employed in June: 11th Record-Setter Under Trump.
(CNSNews.com) – Following last month’s strong employment report, the numbers released on Friday were even better in some respects.
The Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics says a record 155,965,000 people were employed in July, the 11th record-breaker since President Trump took office 19 months ago.
"Our economy is soaring. Our jobs are booming. Factories are pouring back into our country, they coming from all over the world. We are defending our workers," President Trump told a campaign rally in Pennsylvania on Thursday.
BLS said the economy added 157,000 jobs in July (compared with a revised 248,000 in June).
The unemployment rate edged down to 3.9 percent, as the number of employed people reached new heights, and the number of unemployed persons declined by 284,000 to 6,280,000 in July.
Among the major worker groups, the unemployment rates for adult men (3.4 percent) and Whites (3.4 percent) declined in July.
The unemployment rate for Hispanics hit a record low of 4.5 percent, down from last month's record 4.6 percent.

... are about 1000 - 40,000 per month lower than Obama's depending on the month to month comparison you look at.

Last 16 months of Obama : 2.4%
First 16 months of Trump : 2.1%
Cranked that number hard on mining Trump. Yay? I say gross.
It's almost as if, and go with me on this guys, a strong labor market under Obama is still a strong labor market under Trump.
MAGA-heads, which one is higher though, 2.4 or 2.1? I'm a liberal and we don't math ... so ...
... but again, how long does it last? You think tRump can keep growing the mining sector like that? Will be interesting to watch.

The whole "Boomers are leaving the workforce" is a crap argument because:
1. We've had a massive influx of immigrants over the past 20 years
2. The Millenials are as large a population as the boomers and cancels it out.
3. The total population of the US is higher, and so is the number of working age individuals.

Actually, they're even bigger.
Plus, Boomers are working longer.

Now that we are out of the Paris agreements though I just know those jobs are going to come roaring back, right? :) They were so unfair, so unfair, to the US ... (laughing my ass off)
