Biden has bragged the economy is great. Historic! Most job growth ever! Wages keeping up or outpacing inflation!
Right. It's all lies. June's numbers were bad, too, and July's are a disaster.

The U.S. economy suffered an unexpected setback in July, as hiring fell sharply and the unemployment rate rose for the fourth straight month as sustained higher interest rates take a toll on businesses and consumers.
Friday’s report from the Labor Department showed that employers added just 114,000 jobs in July – 35% fewer than forecasters had expected – and that unemployment, now up to 4.3%, is the highest since October 2021.
“Things are deteriorating quickly,’’ said Julia Pollak, chief economist at the job marketplace ZipRecruiter. The news shook financial markets around the world.
This is fine. We're sure it's fine. Everything is fine.
We are headed for a recession thanks to Bidenomics.

We're already there, probably.
Small businesses have been feeling a recession for months, but the people shortage has produced a different kind of pain.

People kept their jobs, but their personal economics didn’t keep pace.

The economic numbers have been a fabrication. Adjusted downwards later on. Every time.

At some point reality catches up.
And reality -- when it does catch up -- bites. Hard.

All of this.
And who is getting hit hardest by this? Well, take a look:
Americans without college degrees have seen the biggest jump in unemployment. They are feeling the pain from this rapidly cooling job market.
