I don't understand the confidence behind this. Is a good economy only based on having a job?

Average people are struggling to make ends meet and racking up debt. The gap between pay and the cost of goods has only grown in recent years. How is that good for anyone?

>> lol yea or a few bad jobs reports?

Which ones? The ones they released or the ones they re-released after overstating the numbers several times?

October and November were revised up actually. October’s is still pretty bad though w.r.t. expectations

Not sure why you're being downvoted for saying something correct. Most of the "jobs reports" seem to be revised after the fact. I fully do not trust any government (Dem or Rep) to tell us the actual truth about the economy. Why would they tell us if things are bad? It doesn't benefit them politically.
