US economy adds 145,000 jobs in December

US economy adds 145,000 jobs in December

The US economy added 145,000 jobs in December, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said Friday.

Paychecks rose less than expected in December, climbing only 0.1%. For the year, that puts wage growth at 2.9%, less than the expected 3.1%.

Yet jobs continue to evaporate in America's battered manufacturing sector, which has struggled during the US-China trade war. The industry lost 12,000 jobs, compared with an expected increase of 5,000 new positions during the month.

Yikes.

People (Whites) keep saying this is not a racist sign ... However, it keeps coming up often when whites congregate.

What is up?

That has historically been the ok gesture.

Recently, white supremacists have used it to show their hate.

I love how that flag switched meaning from being an anti boot locker flag to what it is today.

bunch of idiots, commonly seen with a thin blue line flag which makes no sense whatsoever if Ben franklin’s flag still had it’s original meaning.

DOJ argues Supreme Court should refrain from taking up the case on an expedited basis, arguing an expedited review isn't merited. The ruling in question invalidated the entirety of the ACA and thereby raised questions about a critical aspect of the US economy.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she will send Trump articles of impeachment to Senate next week

Pelosi's announcement came after weeks of Democrats and Republicans duking it out over the terms of Trump's trial.

Trump tried to take credit for a fall in US cancer death rates, but the American Cancer Society says it has nothing to do with him

An American Cancer Society report said the rate of US cancer deaths dropped by 29% from 1991 to 2017, when Donald Trump took office.
