The latest jobs report shows that President Joe Biden is already leaving his imprint on the economy.
Only 266,000 jobs were created, which is 800,000 below forecasts.
The job creation number for March had to be revised down by 146,000.
Biden himself felt the need to defend himself on Friday, saying that the economy is improving despite the lousy numbers, tried to convince the public that the recovery would be a slog, and said more government help is needed.
His fellow Democrats, and their handmaidens in the press didn't want anyone to know this before the election, and kept talking the economy down after the election to justify their massive spending plans.
For anyone who still doesn't know why job growth fell so far short of the mark in April, the reason is painfully simple and glaringly obvious: Biden and his party decided to extend the worst COVID idea of them all: bonus payments to people on unemployment.
How else can you explain that businesses are desperately trying to hire workers - in February there were 7.4 million job openings - while the unemployment rate is climbing?
