Outside the Beltway

June’s jobs report brought in stronger than expected numbers but the fact that these numbers have not been consistent all year makes one wonder what the state of the economy really is.

The current economic recovery turns ten years old this month, but it can’t last forever.

May’s Jobs Report came back with disappointing jobs growth, suggesting that the economy may be slowing down.

If the economy remains strong, then Democrats could find it harder to beat the President than they thought.

Jobs Growth in April was much higher than expected, seemingly putting to rest for now fears that the economy might be slowing.

Job growth in February was far below estimates, but we did see some solid wage growth and other signs that we’re approaching what economists refer to as “full employment.”

Despite the government shutdown, employment growth in January was far above expectations.

The economic impact from the just-concluded government shutdown was apparently quite substantial.

The government shutdown is beginning to negatively impact the public’s perception of the health of the economy.

December’s Jobs Report blew past expectations to show more than 300,000 jobs created.

President Trump is now apparently on the warpath against the Federal Reserve Board Chairman he appointed only a year ago.

Jobs Growth in November was healthy but fell short of expectations.

The economy is in good shape for the moment but there are storm clouds on the horizon.

The economy may be doing well, but that didn’t help Republicans in the midterms.

Despite the relatively strong economy, President Trump and many other Republicans are relying on the politics of fear to drive voter turnout on Tuesday.

Jobs Growth in October exceeded expectations, as did wage growth. It’s unclear, though, how long these numbers can be sustained.

Republicans passed a tax cut bill in December they hoped would help in the midterm elections. It has turned out to be a big dud.

September jobs growth fell short of expectations even as the top-line unemployment rate reached a point unseen since 1969.

Jobs growth in August was slightly better than expected, but still nothing overly impressive.

Total compensation has been going up and the non-wage portion of said compensation is basically “eating up all” of the past increases since approximately 1974 resulting in a stagnant hourly wage.

Jobs growth fell short of expectations in July but was still relatively decent. Wage growth, however, remains stubbornly stagnant.

Total nonfarm payroll employment increased by 213,000 in June and the unemployment rate rose to 4.0 percent.

Republicans are at least a bit more confident that they’ll hold on to the Senate this year.

The President teased the Jobs Report an hour before it was officially released. This was both a violation of Federal law, and yet another example of this President violating long-established norms governing how politicians are supposed to act.

May’s jobs report was stronger than the previous two months, but not entirely great.
