Do you remember when clueless Joe Bozo would brag about his pathetic economy? And then in November of 2024 the voters reminded him that he was a natural born liar
Translation - the Joe Biden economy was not very good, but despite that, he touted it every day like it was awesome. He thought Americans were too dumb and would believe him, but on Election Day, the voters reminded Joey he was a lying hack because it’s always about the economy.
Manufacturing jobs are down, general job growth is down, consumer confidence is down, debt is rising, new tariff policy has cost the average household over $1000. How do those voters feel today?
U.S. businesses went on a hiring spree in February, the latest data from payroll processor ADP shows.
Private sector employers added 63,000 workers, a big rebound from the mere 11,000 in ADP’s revised January estimate. Economists had forecast 43,000 jobs added in the month.
This was the strongest hiring in the private sector in seven months, according to ADP’s data.
“We’ve seen an increase in hiring and pay gains remain solid, especially for job-stayers,” said ADP chief economist Nela Richardson.
Annual pay is up 4.5 percent for workers who have stayed in their jobs. The biggest pay gains for job stayers came in finance, where pay is up 5.2 percent, and manufacturing, where wages are up 4.9 percent. Construction workers saw a 4.7 percent gain and leisure and hospitality a 4.6 percent increase. The slowest pay gains were in information technology, where pay is up four percent.
Workers who have switched jobs have seen their pay rise 6.3 percent.
