The Bureau of Labor Statistics released an impressive June jobs report.

With the current economic uncertainty, it is inspiring to see this quick improvement in our economy. With 4.8 million jobs added, this job growth has exceeded economists’ expectations by nearly 2 million and shows that the economy continues to recuperate.

The unemployment rate has dropped to 11.1%. The White House Council of Economic Advisers said that this report shattered expectations and shows the economic recovery is moving faster than anticipated.

The Silent Majority decision

I read the Chronicle each week and agree with your article “Who influences you?”

I agree we are in a propaganda war. I am concerned about the future of our country. We have been thrust into a cultural war for the soul of this nation.

I never thought I would see our country being torn apart in such a manner. But I do remain optimistic that in the end the principles that this country was founded on by God and our founding fathers in the Constitution of the United States, will prevail.

I also believe a silent majority nationwide has faith in preserving our country as it was designed, as a republic and not as another failed socialist experiment.

I and my family will be voting for the reelection of President Trump.

Local news reporting

Thanks for your good reporting on local news. Your newspaper has more news that affects us than the daily paper. I look forward to the Chronicle each week.
