To begin, the report most people receive is not a report, but, a newsletter (click here).
The jobs data is here (click here) and cannot be reported on in a matter of minutes.
The jobs being ? created ? by the Trump White House is illegitimate to the priorities for the people. It is not sustainable. The Trump job growth has resulted from reaching into the past and deregulating such as methane. The Trump job growth highly reflects the priorities of his cabinet members that are nothing more than cronies and greed merchants.
To understand the impact of Trump's policies on the small business climate there is an interesting table entitled. "Table A-8. Employed persons by class worker and part time status." (click here)
In that table look at the line stating "Self-employed workers, unincorporated." When looking at these tables, one must be aware there is actually two different years being reported. The first three columns is a March 2018 number that is not seasonally adjusted and two months from 2019. It reflects a falling number that includes a strong indication that the self-employed individual is failing.
The last six columns entitled "Seasonally adjusted" of the same line of "Self-employed workers, unincorporated," clearly indicates the loss of small businesses or self-employed is falling and significantly.
"National Association of Women Business Owners" (click here)
- More than 11.6 million firms are owned by women, employing nearly 9 million people, and generating $1.7 trillion in sales as of 2017.
- Women-owned firms (51% or more) account for 39% of all privately held firms and contribute 8% of employment and 4.2% of revenues.
The Trump economy is buffering a failing economy from the past through deregulation and not supporting the future.
There is NO HOPE for the future in the Trump economy. Deregulation clearly illustrates a desperate and failing strategy.
When a Texas oil man heads the DOE, one has to know there is no real focus for a sustainable economy.
The table mentioned above is only one column in one table. Need I go on?
In regard to health care:
West Virginia is the highest enrollment in Medicaid in the country. This is touted by Trump and his cabinet as a return of coal jobs. Hello? Coal jobs are a failing form of employment. Coal jobs have been a failing form of employment for decades with ever increasing mechanization.
Here again, as seen by Walmart, Medicaid is corporate welfare and to simply eliminate the ACA will crash the coal industry if they are required to provide employer based health care.
THERE IS NO VIABLE REPUBLICAN ECONOMY THAT PROTECTS AMERICANS, THERE IS ONLY A FAILING ONE.
The petroleum industry is a failing industry. (click here)
Supply and demand, oil is a Wall Street commodity that helps Wall Street investment firms maintain cash flow:
"Peak Oil" occurred in 2005. What happened to the prices from 2005 going forward? This is the OLD PARADYMN the Republicans CONTINUE to state is their answer for an economy. The Republicans have a carbon based economy and it is dying. Every time a Republican is elected it reinforces the OLD WORLD and not the future.
