Job Numbers A Head-Scratcher
Dr. Dave Brat, dean of the business school at Liberty University, says the April employment report is so disappointing, the data make you “scratch your head.” The April economy added an anemic 266,000 jobs, far below the 1 million predicted by economists.
It’s puzzling because almost every economic chart is improving, but the employment data point is squarely a big hit on the poorest Americans. Brat says the policies of the Democrat Party have again widened the income gap and the top one percent are getting richer, erasing all the economic gains of the Trump Administration. And perhaps the biggest culprit is the free money being handed out by the Democrats. “The disincentive to work right now is really bad,” he says. Here’s more with Brat on “The Water Cooler,” with host David Brody.
