Just got laid off due to not enough work in a field I've never not had enough work in. Please tell me again how the economy is "brightening".

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

You story is about as valid an indicator of how the economy is doing as wall st.
The economy improving because Trump sends all the people conservatives don't like to concentration camps, making it easier for others to get a job simply because there is less competition, isn't worth it. If that's the alternative I'd rather the economy be "bad".
Exclusive poll of republicans
I saw another article today saying Biden was beating Trump. Point is that polls don’t mean shit. Make sure you vote.
"In a USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll"
Ah, yes. The time honored masters of polling at USA Today. I'll just leave this here: https://www.pewresearch.org/methods/2021/03/02/what-2020s-election-poll-errors-tell-us-about-the-accuracy-of-issue-polling/
So 2020's election polls overrepresented Biden's strength, but applying a model of those errors to issue specific polling Pew has done for decades didn't result in significant swings to any of their issues poll results? Interesting, but I'm not sure it's super relevant to this election poll.
yeah I would read up on pew to see their influence before I would trust them https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_N._Pew_Jr.
