The jobs forecast was a 75,000 gain, even taking the hurricanes into consideration

[Pugster]

This was the forecast: "The U.S. likely added just 75,000 new jobs last month in the wake of hurricanes Harvey and Irma, economists polled by MarketWatch forecast. That would be about half the size of the job gains in August."

We had a jobs loss instead. If right-wingers use the hurricane talking point (i.e. the jobs report isn't bad, because hurricanes), please note that the report was much weaker than expected anyway.

1. So don't these statistics

have regional information? How much of the increased unemployment occurred in regions affected by the hurricanes?

2. Obama's last month was a bad month

October is owned by Trump. That's reality.

But reality is also that Trump has been claiming credit for Obama's jobs numbers for the last 9 months, so he owns this report too.

3. yeah, but if the news is bad for Donnie the jobs report is a fake news...

they are skewing the numbers as part of the world wide liberal conspiracy against Donnie.

Good numbers are true........of course
