Moore: May through August has been 'the four biggest months of job creation' in US history

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Economist Stephen Moore said Sunday that the past four months have been "the four biggest months of job creation" in U.S. history, growth that comes after widespread shutdowns amid the rise of the coronavirus pandemic in the spring.

"May, June, July and August have been the four biggest months of job creation in the history of the United States. We've regained over 10 million jobs in four months," Moore, a staunch Trump ally, said on John Catsimatidis's radio show on WABC 770 AM Sunday.

The Labor Department reported Friday that the U.S. added 1.4 million jobs in August and the unemployment rate declined to 8.4 percent from 10.2 percent in July.

"I don't think anybody saw this happening four months ago .... [Democratic presidential nominee] Joe Biden ... doesn't quite know what to say in response to these very good numbers," Moore said.

Moore you fucking idiot. Those are for the most part the people who stayed home because of the pandemic. Very few new jobs were created.

3. So you lose 40MM jobs and then gain back 10MM....that's a Republican win?

Only the stupid would believe this.

[Thekaspervote]

4. when one starts in a deeper whole than ever seen and you create some temporary jobs

Sure... go ahead spin that buddy.

When we begin to see many of the jobs lost are permanently gone, as in never to be recovered....What ya gonna say?

[Eliot Rosewater]

5. what is the rule again? GOP never, not once, not ever tells the truth...not ever

9. I have no job...my husband has no job ...the so called unemployment report was BS...counted census

worker jobs, and changed how unemployment was calculated. Do they think we are stupid...the economy is on layoff and all fear losing their jobs now...many furloughs are now permanent job losses...

11. It just re-demonstrates what Stephen Moore is willing to do to lie for Donald Trump

I used to be willing to watch him and here is point of view on Bill Maher. I thought it was always dumb and manipulative, but I like to have someone to boo. Now I see Stephen Moore as just another Trump enabler. The schtick isn't funny when done in the service of someone who wants to turn the United States into a Russia-like, mob-run dictatorship.

12. He Said "Regained"

Regained jobs are not the result of growth. They already existed.
What a dunce!
Of course, his organization is Club for Growth, so it's obvious they don't know what growth is.

[FloridaBlues]

13. Reality people going back to their jobs not newly created jobs

[Newest Reality]

14. If Moore

If Moore keeps spinning so fast like that, he is bound to get dizzy and puke.

16. Pretty soon they'll be adding folks coming back from a summer vacation,

labor day weekend, a day off, hell why not add coming back from lunch break as a new job too?

19. That's Like Those Boats On Lake Travis Saying, "We're Bailing Out More Water Than EVER!"

This is an UNPRECEDENTED amount of bailing! SOOOOOO much water is being bailed out!

[Cicada]

21. March thru August biggest months of job losses ever

Your business loses $50 million in April then makes $10 million in the summer. Is that a good thing?

[SammyWinstonJack]

23. regained jobs are created jobs?

[spanone]

24. still kissing trump's ass after 4 years

[Klaralven]

25. Actually, there must have been quite a few jobs created

Manufacturers of paper goods, hand sanitizer, various cleaning supplies, Plexiglas and Lexan, etc. must be running their factories flat out.

There are also a lot of hires by supermarkets for picking customer orders and delivery services. Same with delivery from restaurants.

PCs, laptops, Chromebooks, pads, and software and services to support them, as well as online business collaboration and online educational services must be booming.

Online retail companies in general, not just Amazon, are doing well. Etsy was just added to the S&P 500.
