SaysWho? Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Economy lost 140,000 jobs last month, in final report of Trump presidency WWW.NBCNEWS.COM The final jobs report of 2020 shows a labor market teetering on the brink, as the pandemic’s chokehold on the economy strengthens. Quote Economists say the numbers lay bare the struggles facing American workers, and represent a mandate for President-elect Joe Biden's administration to accomplish two things: Address the immediate financial needs of these households, and develop a longer-term solution that fosters job growth and protects the workers most vulnerable to disenfranchisement. “It’s eerily reminiscent of when Joe Biden took office as vice president facing a significant jobs challenge,” said Andrew Stettner, a senior fellow at The Century Foundation. “I think they're going to have a lot of urgency to do something early on.” The government data comes just two days after a report by payroll processor ADP found that the private sector lost 123,000 jobs in December, the first decline since April.

b_m_b_m_b_m Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Very cool. Here's hoping I'm not one of next months numbers, as "cost saving" measures were announced earlier this week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
