Republicans were gleeful when jobs growth slowed last month and yearly revisions were released. Well, sorry, September payrolls came in at +254,000, well above expectations. August payrolls were revised up +17,000 to +159,000, and July was revised up +55,000 to +144,000.
Unemployment fell to 4.1%. Average hourly earnings grew 0.4% last month, and are now up 4.0% over the year, clearly running ahead of prices.
The household report is even stronger, reporting employment growth of +430,000 last month, with unemployment falling by -281,000.
Republicans who have been shouting "everything is terrible" will be shifting to "the fix is in" in, 3, 2, 1...

Wait, I thought Obama has been running the country for the past four years. After all, Biden has had dementia since day 1 and Kamala is "mentally disabled" and "mentally impaired” according to Trump. I'm confused...

They need to change that. Or was it just me who instantly thought of George Harrison's "Harrisongs"? Someone named "Harrison" has an economic philosophy? Took a beat to parse it as "Harris".

Tee, hee.
Here's Biden today:
REPORTER: There have obviously been a number of crises that the country has been facing over the past several days, with the hurricane, with the port strike, with the situation in the Middle East. Can you talk about how your vice president, who is running for the presidency, has worked on these crises and what role she has played over the past several days.
BIDEN: Well, she's, I'm in constant contact with her. She's aware, we're all, we're singing from the same song sheet. We, she helped pass all the laws that are being deployed now. She was a major player in everything we've done, including passage of legislation we were told we could never pass. And she's been, and, her staff is interlocked with mine in terms of all the things we're doing.
Quite the needle you have to thread. Vance nailed it. We've talked about it.
Best economy ever, Jack!...but we need to change everything.
Good luck with that.
