The US unemployment rate fell to 4.6% in October 2021, the lowest since March 2020. The labor market continued to gradually recover from the pandemic hit, helped by a surge in demand for labor, record levels of job openings, the expiration of enhanced jobless benefits, and the subsiding summer wave of COVID-19 infections. See here the source data and a chart below. Total job openings are 10.44 million openings seasonally adjusted to record levels. This is a huge number and is up 47% from two years ago. So there are millions of unfilled jobs for Americans. Learn more here and see the summary chart below. There is the lowest number of Americans filing for first-time jobless benefits since 1969. Since unemployment is so low and jobs are so plentiful relative to those looking for a job, obviously, one can not claim jobless benefits if no one is being laid off. See chart below. Some may say that the Biden jobs success is due to paying people to stay home. This was true, but not anymore. The total number of Americans on some form of government dole is 3.1 million. This is slightly higher than prior to Covid, however, the government aid from Covid has largely ended in September of 2021. See chart below. So all this looks rosy for the Biden administration’s jobs policies – correct? Well, not so fast.
First off, with all the trillions in government stimulus and Fed stimulus, AND with inflation running so hot (learn more here ) – why is the Fed not raising interest rates to stamp out inflation? What do they know that most Americans don’t know?
The dirty little secret is the labor force participation rate. The labor force participation rate was unchanged at 61.6% in October 2021 and has remained within a narrow range of 61.4% to 61.7% since June 2020. See source data here and a summary chart below. The labor force is the actual number of people available for work and is the sum of the employed and the unemployed. The US labor force reached a high of 164.6 […]

Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
