Hold on a second friend. You seem to have a pretty good grasp of this stuff. It's literally the only thing thing you post about. Could you explain something to me?
So you're saying the unemployment is now at a record, 18 year low. I remember you said that last month too.
I also remember President Trump saying, "If you start adding it up, our real unemployment rate is 42%."

He also said,
Our real unemployment is anywhere from 18 to 20 percent. Don’t believe the 5.6. Don’t believe it.”
— Trump, in his campaign announcement speech, June 16, 2015
“They have this phony number, 5.2 percent. Everybody that quits looking for a job is considered statistically a person that has a job. It’s a phony number. You probably — real number’s like 22, 23 percent.”
— Trump, speech at Liberty University, Jan. 18, 2016
Why were the unemployment numbers fake when Obama was President but they're real now?
How did he lower unemployment from 42% to 3.9%? It seems like such a remarkable accomplishment, you'd think more people would be talking about it.
Also, you seem pretty pumped about those added 201,000 jobs. I noticed in the source you provided said last month numbers got revised down by 60,000 jobs. Will your new numbers get revised down next month too?
Wow wages are growing faster than they have in 10 years too? I was pretty surprised by that so I looked it up and found:
The average hourly pay for employees on private nonfarm payrolls rose by 10 cents or about 0.4%.

What are you going to do with all that money?
