The U.S. economy added 178,000 jobs in November, the Labor Department reported Friday, and the unemployment rate fell sharply to 4.6% from 4.9% in October.
It's the lowest rate since August 2007.
Unemployment has been at or below 5% for nearly a year as more people have returned to the job market and hiring has maintained momentum.
November was the 74th consecutive month America added jobs.
"The positive momentum we've seen in the labor market is continuing as 2016 comes to a close," says Sam Bullard, senior economist at Wells Fargo.
Even IF Donald Trump were not a fucking train wreck, which we know he is, the Republicans are histrionically bad at dealing with the economy and driving down unemployment.
Any Trump voter who thought they were voting to bring more jobs back, must have been living in a cave for the last twenty or thirty years.
It should also be pointed out that the best job growth of all time was under President Bill Clinton, and we had the opportunity to put the person who was his co-president in the White House and failed to do so.
Just keep this in mind the first time some Republican starts bitching that jobs are disappearing under president Trump, and then tries to lay the blame at the feet of President Obama.
