Has the GOP once again moved the goal posts??

[EERs 3:16]

During the Clinton years, we were told that an unemployment rate of 4% was considered to be full employment, Trump comes in, smashes that myth, and now 4.3% is considered to be unacceptable!

can you give an example of someone complaining or arguing over a particular percentage of unemployment to add context to you post?

Can you tell us the percentage of those no longer on unemployment but have yet to find a job?

Is the average income going up or down compared with inflation?

That is the acceptable argument.

Does the stock market count?

Your 1990's Frat days are long gone. Time to grow up and deal with the problems the New Democrat Party is creating today.

are you saying the stock market is crashing because of an unemployment percentage of 4.3%?
if that is what you're trying to say you are missing the forest for the trees, there's a lot more to this than an unemployment number

It's both and it's going to get worse.

Yeah, the economy is starting to tank, people are running out of money, the debt bubble is about to pop, and the whole thing is about to come crashing down... Whether or not that crash happens this year or next year, is open to debate.... However, the uptick in unemployment, is what set off the round of stock selling.... Thanks to Trump the new acceptable unemployment rate is sub 4%.....

Also, if the Trump era tax cuts are not extended, then you're going to see another round of housing foreclosures and debt related crises...circa 2008...
