Fox cable hosts are doing the job of the chair of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, Jared Bernstein, by admitting that the economy under President Biden is strong. Bernstein joins MSNBC’s Ali Velshi to discuss the latest “expectation-busting” jobs report.
I don’t know why this guy’s getting downvoted. Rent prices are at record high. APRs are through the roof. Groceries are getting more expensive every year. I’m even paying $20 more every month for car insurance. Sure Trump was worse but let’s not act like everything is all sunshine and rainbows just because it’s an election year.
Google seems t suck these days and I wasn’t able to find good data, but
Gotta admit it’s tough to sympathize with a $20 insurance increase when I just got hit with the double whammy of teenaged driver and new car. My car insurance is quintuple what it was a couple months ago😒
A shocking amount of people I know, including myself were all laid off. Ive been unemployed for 6 months. There are zero jobs in my Ruby red shithole state aside from retail.
This growth is not distributed equally.
It’s really difficult not to turn this political, but yes, it seems like political leanings are a huge part of it.
Admittedly, my company is hiring mostly overseas in cheaper markets, but we are hiring, and a I’ve seen a lot of friends switch jobs to jump start stagnated pay
Thats the problem though, yes we know who’s to blame, but its still up to dems to fix it.
Its not acceptable to just have them rightfully blame then throw their hands up.
Tech?
A failed college actually. Friend was in construction.
That sucks, I’m sorry. Any plans to move to somewhere with more jobs?
My family safety net is here, so it would honestly take some saving at a different job before Im comfortable starting a life somewhere else.
But eventually I may have to. In the meantime all I can do is keep applying.
