“ The FBI has sounded the alarm about white supremacists and far-right extremists, but the bureau’s own Top 10 “most wanted domestic terrorists” list includes at least two Communists, three black nationalists, one anti-war activist, and a vegan eco-terrorist.

While the diverse roster doesn’t purport to capture the breadth of domestic terror, it seems at odds with federal law enforcement’s claims that white supremacists pose the biggest threat facing the nation. Some skeptics are accusing the bureau of exaggerating the threat by adopting a misleading definition of such ideologies”

Economy adds over 500K jobs.
Unemployment at 3.46% (lowest rate in 50 years)
Under employed at lowest rate ever recorded.

Just thought a little good news might help.

It only took Biden 18 months to restore the employment level to it’s pre-pandemic number…..which was under TRUMP!!
Let’s Go Brandon!!

It is good news....kind of. As long as GDP is contracting, it's unsustainable and will kill real wages. But lower real wages>>>>>>>>>>being unemployed.

Yup, all the jobs news means is the Fed will need to be more aggressive with interest rates. We're not getting out of this rut for awhile. It's just a matter of what mix of inflation or rate hikes will kill growth and inflation. Something tells me it's going to be the one which hurts capital less...

And to UCGRAD4X's point, labor participation is still 1% under pre-pandemic.

All I know is that Biden has “created” zero. Only “replaced”. And it took his garbage Econ policies a a year and a half to do that.
Plus the labor participation rate is still 1% below pre pandemic as pointed by Caf & UCGrad.
All those inflationary “stimulus checks” that kept people out of the labor force sure did their job!!
