That is great news SSG(P) (Join to see) that the U.S.A. has added 148,000 jobs in December and that unemployment has been reduced to 4.1%
Since the New York times is biased against conservatives since the 1970s when i was a cadet at West Point, I went to the Bureau of Labor Statistics to find some graphs.
BLS tends to lag by a year or more in many national statistics such as GDP. I found a few charts which seemed to be somewhat current and comparable to previous years in the thankfully former Obama administration

Image; 2017 back to 2007 chart-unemployment; 2017-10 back to 2012-10 BLS Employment in retail trade industry; Real average hourly earnings increased 0.2 percent from November 2016 to November 2017.

Gosh......the graph shows higher job numbers for 2015 and 2016 than in 2017. Thanks Obama. Thankfully, they are still positive under Trump......but they have dropped off since Obama left office. But of course, those were fake jobs under Obama......and these are real jobs under Trump......heck, wages have gone up a whole 9 cents an hour. Thanks Trump!
