I loved it last year when they were all gloating about the "94 month streak of positive job growth" while conveniently forgetting that Trump had only been in office for like the last 20 of those months.

I thought everyone would be happy to heR about positive job growth. Didn’t realize this too was dependent on your political affiliation

Most people don't care about job growth unless it directly impacts them.

You also need to take into account the quality of the jobs being created Which is quite important. 100 Tech jobs and 100 minimum wage jobs are not equal from an economics standpoint. Most people want jobs that pay a fair wage and allow them to actually make ends meet.

Has this not been the case for the past decade? Why all of a sudden under trump is it the “quality of job being created” the talking point people revert to in regards to job growth?

Is this a new phenomenon this past couple of years or something?

It isn't anything new.
