November Jobs Report disappoints.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cnbc.com/amp/2018/12/07/us-created-155000-jobs-in-november-vs-198000-expected.html

After unemployment claims have started to rise again, this is no surprise. The #TrumpSlump eats everything in its path. It’s eaten the Obama Bull Market and now is starting to feast on the Obama jobs growth.

It'll get like it did under W Bush and the numbers (if still real) will reverse into the jobs lost each month, and quickly.

What you never hear is that the last 2 years of job growth, while still solid, marked a slowdown from the last years under Obama.

An economic slowdown is here, now. Whether it becomes a recession is not certain yet. But we’ll likely see tepid growth in 2019.

Sure, the jobs numbers are okay, but Trump has been touting them like they're awesome and the best ever... Democrats and talking heads on TV never hit back on that, either. They usually say, "yes, the jobs numbers are great, but ___" So, they're already conceding the point.

The job creation numbers in 2017 were the worst since 2011 when we were still coming out of the Great Recession.
