Here’s The Secret Behind Biden’s Jobs Numbers. Hint: It’s Not Manufacturing

The U.S. added a solid 199,000 nonfarm payroll jobs in November, but the composition of those newly added jobs was dominated by three sectors and boosted by government funding, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).

The majority of jobs added in November were from the government, health care or leisure and hospitality sectors, adding 77,000, 49,000 and 40,000 jobs, respectively, according to the BLS. Part of the remaining gain came from the manufacturing sector, which added 28,000 jobs but was boosted by 30,000 unionized autoworkers returning from a strike, meaning the sector actually lost 2,000 jobs.

“There are essentially two economies right now — the private sector economy and the government economy.” Michael Faulkender, chief economist and senior advisor for the Center for American Prosperity, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “With massive deficit spending and a complete disregard for its cost, the government is expanding its activities and the result is hiring in the government, health care, and social assistance industries.”

The number of public sector jobs under President Joe Biden is close to setting a new record for the highest number of government employees. Following November’s gain, there were 22,967,000 government employees, compared to the all-time high of 22,996,000 workers in May 2010, with the number of workers boosted to conduct the census that year.

  1. Jobs are abundant for freaking Indians here on Green Cards that are overwhelmingly taking over the tech field. People we are losing this country – because you vote BLUE because you feel guilty. You stupid ass White and Black people – they have kept us fighting over dumb ass shit while the powers to take over using any other race they can. Unite or lose the country – it may be too late.

  2. The great majority of Federal government workers are unqualified affirmative action hires and promotions that are only collecting a paycheck!

  3. Of course it’s not manufacturing jobs. All of the manufacturing jobs left decades ago thanks to conservative union busting and overseas sweatshops. If you think these manufacturing jobs are ever coming back to the US, you are extremely naive. Why pay an American even minimum wage when you can pay someone in Bangalore cents on the dollar?
