Private-sector employment increased by 209,000, while government employment saw a slight increase of 19,000. Health care, social assistance, and transportation and warehousing saw notable job gains”

im not sure why people defend this at all.

Yes. If ups could hire people at 3.00$ they would. Look at Amazon. Our union is the only reason we have what we have.

who is hurt if you don't sell?
dow was 10700 in 2005
its presently at 40000
recently its dropped approximately 5 percent.
its dropped at least 5 percent 20 times in the last twenty years.
yet overall your money has at least tripled in that time

So a drop under trump is ok. Under anyone else it’s bad. Got it

True. But this one is self inflected. Kind of like if smoot hawley act. And let’s just say the market does go up, which it will. Wouldn’t it actually be higher if it wasn’t for the 5000 dip this month?
Besides, these businesses will either stay overseas and pass is along the costs or build here using a lot more expensive labor while still raising the cost. Either way, we will pay more. So it is a lose/lose proposition
