The employment situation for so many is dire! As bad as it is, it is hard to imagine that unemployment is “only” 8.4% with the shutdowns and restrictions… it was 7.9% in parts of 2012-2013 without any of that. .@SharylAttkisdon

Election 2020
Just a reminder it’s less than a 100 days till election day in America. If you are not registered they may only have days or weeks to do so. I am taking a team out again today to register voters, every time we go out we have 10-12 we sign up. One trip out we had 3 brand new 18 year old voters we signed up! Hooray for the red, white, and blue. there is hope for the younger generation.
Vote Biblical values for that is what our great country was founded on, and what will keep us the lighthouse and beacon of hope for this dark world. If America falls, so will the world. God Bless you, and God Bless the United States of America.
Job Numbers Show Why Congress Shouldn’t Rush to Pass Another Massive Stimulus Package by Rachel Greszler
For a second month in a row, the U.S. economy gained a record number of jobs.
Following job gains of 2.7 million in May, the economy added 4.8 million more jobs in June.
And even as the labor force grew by 1.7 million workers, the unemployment rate fell by 2.2 percentage points, from 13.3% to 11.1%.
While unemployment is still high, the faster-than-expected turnaround and record gains show the resiliency of the American economy and prove that this is not another Great Recession.
