    The US unemployment rate fell to 3.8 percent in May 2018 from 3.9 percent in the previous month, and below market expectations of 3.9 percent. It was the lowest rate since April 2000, as the number of unemployed decreased by 281 thousand to 6.07 million and employment rose by 293 thousand to 155.47 million. Unemployment Rate in the United States averaged 5.78 percent from 1948 until 2018, reaching an all time high of 10.80 percent in November of 1982 and a record low of 2.50 percent in May of 1953.

    Imagine where we'd be if we hadn't elected Trump in 2010. Goooo Trump!

    This is Trump's economy now and he certainly deserves credit for the economic strength. I liked the US corporate tax cuts as a means to be more globally competitive in spite of the buybacks and dividends to shareholders as in the long term it will be a smart policy. I didn't like the other tax cuts, especially the wealthy, with boomers looming and entitlement spending about skyrocket. I think fulfilling his misleading and misguided belief that other countries are too blame for trade will hurt us.
