The U.S. unemployment rate dropped to 4.5%, the lowest level since May 2007.

Last year two hundred and nineteen thousand jobs were made in February, with a respective one hundred and eighty seven thousand jobs being made in the following months. This year with the time President Donald Trump has been office has only created ninety eight thousand jobs so far, this is very disappointing to the number of jobs that were created last year. Economists however are calling this job creation decrease a "blip" and that they expect an increase in job growth in the following months since weak months in hiring are common during winter. The four point five percent unemployment rate shows that we are close to full employment and that we have recovered from pre-crisis levels. Since Trumps time in office he has created thirty seven thousand manufacturing jobs that have come with benefits and good paychecks, one thing that he was talking about doing in his campaign.

Do you feel that the economy is growing? Do you think that there is going to be a downfall at some point?

Do you feel that the Economists are right about job increase in the following months?

Do you think that unemployment is something we need to worry about now?

Do you plan on getting a manufacturing job in the future? (just wondering)

  1. Hopefully economists are right about the future job increase in order to decrease the unemployment rate. Unemployment has always been a big problem to worry about, but with it being at its lowest since 2007, it demonstrates that we're definitely making good progress.

  2. I think unemployment is something we have to worry about because it is one of the main reasons that people are not able to live a sustainable life style.

  4. I think that unemployment is something that we do need to worry about now because it is jobs that people are dependent on in order to support themselves and their families.

  5. I think job increase has definitely been happening. Although this is happening, I think unemployment is something that will always be a slight problem and something we have to worry about. I do not plan on getting a manufacturing job in the future.

  6. The main problem with the new jobs is that they might not be sustainable and in many places aren't paying enough to live by. Unemployment is something we should worry about and I don't plan on getting a manufacturing job

  8. I agree with Maira and also think that unemployment will always be a problem. Although I think that this is a good step towards alleviating the problem.

  9. It is reasonable to be optimistic about the decreasing unemployment rate. If officials are correct, we can expect to see more jobs available and further decrease the unemployment rate. If this continues, I believe the economy will continue to improve.

  11. Wow what a great improvement after a decade of startling trends. I think this is a testament to the hard work of the American people and the overall maintenance of American labor staying in the country so the kids can't say they took our jobs.

  12. I think that when job increases, the unemployment rate will decrease. Unemployment has been a problem that we need to worry about but process has been made. I do not plan on getting a manufacturing job in the future

  13. I think there is no way to ultimately have 0% unemployment rate, but I also agree that we are still working towards a lower rate than what we have now.

  14. The fact that the unemployment rate is at the lowest since May 2007 demonstrates that the economy is making good progress. I agree with Leo that 0% unemployment is impossible to achieve, but it appears that the country is making economic steps in the right direction. I hope officials are correct and unemployment will only continue to decrease.

  15. The down fall is now there is no stopping it and the economy is not getting better like sooooo many people said it would. Unemployment is always a thing to worry about. Heck no.

  16. With unemployment being the lowest since 2007 it shows how the economy is growing and becoming equal for everyone. It is only going to get harder too create more jobs over time because jobs that had not been created 10 years ago have been created now.

  17. I think that there are only so many jobs in the US that can be created, and there will be a plateau at one point. Is that time now? I don't know but it is a strong possibility.

  18. I think that this decrease in the number of new jobs is a bad sign because it means less jobs will be available for people. But this could just be the peak in our economy as it goes up and down and unemployment is very low at this point in time.I would like to try out a manufacturing job in the future but it probably would not be a lasting job.

  19. In our current situation, we are living in a very progressive era with many opportunities soon to come up as with advancing in society, other jobs must open in order for people start fulfilling these jobs.

  20. I do feel that the economy is growing. I believe that economists are correct about the increase in jobs over the following months. I think that unemployment is something that we should always be worrying about. It has always been a huge issue, maybe not as bad right now, but it is still something that has always been a situation that needs to be handled.

  21. Our economy is growing exponentially. There has been also an increase of jobs throughout the following months.

  22. Our economy is growing, but I think we do need to worry about the economy falling at some point because it's inevitable. I don't think I am going to get a job in manufacturing, but who knows anything is possible.

  23. I think the economy is growing and at one point, their will be a downfall, but hopefully it will not be as bad and detrimental as it has been before.

  24. The economy is growing but eventually there will be a downfall. Unemployment is something we need to worry about all the time. It's a very big issue.

  25. What we need to worry about is whether the country is fully employed, not whether the unemployment rate is zero percent, because there is always unemployment is developed countries. Only impoverished societies that follow traditions have an unemployment rate of 0%.

  26. The economy is growing but there will be a point where it goes down. Hopefully, it doesn't drop down too bad.

  27. I think the economy is growing, and hope that it will continue to do well. I hope that the economists are right about jobs increasing so the unemployment rate would decrease. With that said, I think the unemployment is something we need to worry about.

  28. I think that we always have to keep unemployment in mind because it may not be a big problem now, but it could escalate quickly in the future if the government doesn't pay attention closely.

  29. I think that unemployment must be closely looked at, as the rate can increase suddenly.

  30. It seems as if right now the economy is doing well and growing, obviously we should continue worrying about unemployment even if we ever reached full employment.

  33. I think that the unemployment rate can increase very suddenly without warning and the decrease is just a small time and it may increase again soon, it needs to be something that we keep track of a lot and while i hope that economists are right I'm not sure that they will be

  35. Unemployment fluctuates a lot. Depending on what is going on in our country at the time, it can increase rapidly or decrease rapidly. Although I hope that the economists are right, I have a feeling that the unemployment rate is going to increase in the near future.

  37. Well Trump making many manufacturing jobs is great, but what are they manufacturing? Like is it something life long or is it something that takes 5-10 years and all those jobs are dismissed because the manufacturing is finished

  38. the more unemployment drops, the better TO A POINT. there is a need for some unemployment in the economy.

  39. I do think that the economy is growing, however, it tends to fluctuate and change on a regular basis. I think that it's good that unemployment has gone down, but I do think we always need to be thinking about it because it is so easily changed.

  40. I feel like our economy is growing and I feel like unemployment is an issue that we should be concerned about and it tends to go up and down so we won't know for sure what will happen next.

  43. I think the economy is in a position to grow and it is currently rising. It is important to make sure there is no deciline and that the economy does not fall back into a crisis.

  44. This makes me think about the risk in working the manufacturing business. We should always be worried about the raise in unemployment.
