The August jobs report was fairly strong as well. It was the largest gain in five months and substantially exceeded expectations. So, you could word it as not booming nor collapsing. But you can certainly say it has shown signs of stabilization and reaccelration. Yes if payment growth doesn’t outperform inflation - that is the definition of economic decline ! - btw it is hard arguing with GDP numbers when you also are the only country in the world that borrow at the rate you do - and calculate inflation the way you do - both of which are the main explanation for your GDP growth (because your GDP figure is basically just companies borrowing money and buy stakes in each others companies - your economy is the country equivalent of a bunch of gay guys jerking each other off) User Reported Content maybe harmful or abusive

Considering you are living in the pedophile mekka of the world - you have very thin skin when people talk about your country ? I didn’t say anything about you — I didn’t even consider Grinder going down everytime Trump throws an event - when I made my statement - your economy has worked like a gay club party for ages ! That isn’t just because of Trump
Don't mention the frogs - we don't want to scare the toddler - we want him to sleep
