2. I heard some anchor say "he saw them yesterday."

Husband was flipping back ‘n’ forth so I’m not sure who it was. I THINK somebody on CNN.

3. To be fair, he was referring to the numbers written in Sharpie!1

4. There is no surplus of workers to create more new jobs

We need more new immigrants who can fill potential new jobs.

5. No. Those jobs were in a report from the National Federation of Independent Business.

Well, possibly. Here's what I think he was referring to:

6. He's trying to get in front of the news media and set the narrative

Instead of debating the downward trend, the media will be debating if Trump is right about the numbers being good or not.

9. August is as a rule

a mixed bag. Noticed the 20% plan to add. So 80% of Business is just treading water or holding their collective breath.

Here is something that should have been added to the mix. That is Back to School . Many of the new Teacher contracts as well as School Support staff have start dates effective with first day of school. Just wondering if these new actions are skewing the numbers. Reason I mentioned this is,have a family member who is the Special Ed Administrator in a Mega District and that is her policy in order to sustain Funding. She says the District Policy is done in this manner for State Funding .

Likewise,Lowes has some 23 hundred plus stores,two months ago they dropped three job classifications per store. Understand when I asked a local store manager what happened to these 6k+ people,well,most were walked out the door.
