Unemployment is only 13.3%!

42 million jobless, 100,000+ dead, and POTUS is congratulating himself from the dog crate he built around the White House to protect himself from free speech https://t.co/gwmAJmFwV6

Wait for it....!

The unemployment rate DECREASED to 13.3%.

Sounds like a lot of the action was part time workers going back to work.

This is good.

However, workers on “permanent lay-off” increased to 2.3M. Keep an eye on this number. https://t.co/MLDFbXXyoW

It's still a roomful of horseshit, and I don't think you're going to find a pony in there.  Besides, people are going back to their jobs after a pandemic closed the economy, and yet in many parts of the country outside NYC, coronavirus cases are on the increase.  Coincidence?  I think not.  How many of those people, especially the part-timers, are going to be unemployed again in a few weeks?

I will be doing a News Conference at 10:00 A.M. on the Jobs Numbers! White House.

And 13.3% unemployment is a good thing?  Where?

Now that we’re bouncing back the question is do you bounce *all the way back* or do you stall out with a 90% recovery which is actually still pretty bad.

My forecast: Only time will tell.
