[Washington/New York Jiji Press] With just one month left until the U.S. presidential election in November, the U.S. labor market remains strong. The favorable employment situation should be a boon for Vice President Harris, the Democratic candidate and the number two in the Biden administration. However, Harris trails behind Republican candidate and former President Trump in terms of support for the economy. “The economy is making good progress.” Harris gave a speech in the Midwestern state of Michigan on the 4th, highlighting that September employment statistics showed the number of employed people increased by 254,000 from the previous month, far exceeding market expectations (an increase of 140,000). The unemployment rate stands at 4.1%, up from the lowest level in about 53 years at the beginning of 2023, but remains at a level that indicates a favorable employment situation. Media and other polls generally show Harris narrowly ahead of Trump. However, when it comes to the economy, which is considered to be voters’ biggest concern, Trump often outperforms Harris. A survey conducted by the research firm Ipsos at the end of September found that 41% of people supported Trump on policies related to “the economy, inflation and employment,” while just 35% supported Harris. Many people point to the widening gap in American society as the reason why Harris is unable to fully take advantage of the strong labor market. In terms of numbers, employment is strong and the inflation rate is falling, but a Japanese securities industry source pointed out that “food and housing prices have risen significantly (from before the coronavirus pandemic), so there is no real sense of prosperity.” Regarding the New York stock market, which continues to hit new highs, he analyzes that “those without assets are not benefiting from it and are becoming increasingly dissatisfied.” The poverty rate for 2023, announced by the U.S. Census Bureau in September, was 12.9%, rising for the second consecutive year. The end of the economic stimulus measures against the coronavirus is having an impact, revealing the reality of the hardship faced by low-income earners. “Inflation has devastated the economy.” At a press conference in the southern state of Georgia on the 4th, Trump stoked fears about the rising cost of living. Regarding the strong employment statistics, he said, “Illegal immigrants are taking a lot of jobs. From that perspective, it’s very unfortunate,” he said, attacking the “achievements” of the Biden-Harris administration in relation to the sign’s claim of combating illegal immigration.

>>1 Harris is going to do something from now on! But if he says that, he’ll get a retort like, “Why didn’t you do that in the last four years?” and it’ll be a total flop lol.
>>1 That’s stupid It doesn’t make any difference either way Just make a decision quickly, replace Netanyahu, and end the Israeli war, you anti-democratic, dictatorial, genocidal country.
>>9 Ishiba Shigeru is a member of the Constitutional Democratic Party within the Liberal Democratic Party, so he’s the polar opposite of Trump. Furthermore, within the Constitutional Democratic Party, he is to the left of Noda. However, even though LDP lawmakers are left-wing, the voters are right-wing, so they were told, “Prime Minister, with your policies you may become the president of the LDP, but you will fall into the opposition,” and they began to retract their previous policy statements.
>>12 I wonder if the employment statistics would improve if they increased the number of temporary government employees? >>16 The Deep State does exist. This isn’t a conspiracy theory, it’s just the military-industrial complex. I don’t really understand things like the Freemasons or the Deep State, so I don’t really think of them as dangerous organizations.
According to some fairly reliable opinion polls, it looks like Trump won by a landslide. I don’t like Trump because he’s anti-Japan, but I guess it can’t be helped because we have to deal with big problems that affect Japan too, like political correctness, the White House, globalization, child and sex trafficking, etc. Harris is an idiot, and that would probably give Japan more freedom to do what it wants.
>>14 It won’t change There’s no way it’s a close match But they still think they can win by forcing their way through, and then they pass the results on to the common people Immigration policies, political correctness, global warming The era of stagnant wages and 1000 yen lunches It’s over Good job being a vassal state. Few people even recognize it as a vassal state.
The United Nations is promoting the SDGs. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation advises the UN. The activities of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation directly serve as the UN’s guidelines. The world today is not run by countries but by a very small number of super-rich people, so nothing will change even if Trump becomes president.
Well, there is no such thing as the Deep State that conspiracy theorists talk about. There is only rule by the super-rich, who have power over countries.
The tricky thing about the Trump camp and conspiracy theorists is that they try to nitpick by saying that his loss was a conspiracy The source is the internet lol.
Trump’s policy is to weaken the dollar. During the previous Trump administration, Shinzo Abe got Trump to accept a weak yen, so the economy was good and students could easily find jobs. Now that the Trump administration has taken office, Trump has once again implemented a policy of weakening the dollar, leading to stronger currencies in other countries. The yen is strong in Japan without Shinzo Abe.
Biden-Harris’ response to the hurricane damage is as crappy as Kishida’s response to the Noto disaster, so who knows what will happen in this election? Harris might lose Because Trump was the one who got the most involved with the disaster area, and Trump takes zero responsibility for disaster relief, while Biden-Harris takes 100% Harris is Biden’s aide, so she can’t say, “Biden made a mistake, so it’s not my fault.”
>>30 Well, Trump is currently unemployed, so he has the time. Rushing to disaster areas is not fundamentally helping. The government’s job is to check the damage situation with local Democratic politicians and provide the necessary support. It’s not the president’s job to rush to the scene.
>>72 Trump is currently in the lead The reason is that “immigrants” are causing problems Refugees are already pouring into Europe due to Israel’s attacks Europe is full of far-right governments because of immigrant crimes It has become what could be called an anti-immigrant coalition If we accept immigrants, they’ll just shoplift, rob, rape, and murder And the employment statistics are looking up because they fired 20 white people and replaced them with cheap immigrants and hired 25 more.
I’ve been following the bookmakers and it’s a close race right now. Harris had a lead right after the presidential debate, but now they’re tied. Considering that there are a few percent of hidden Trumps, Trump is probably ahead. But this time too, there will likely be a lot of sloppy and fraudulent mail-in ballots, so Trump will probably lose.
