That’s not correct. Furloughed workers wouldn’t count in unemployment statistics because they’re not actively looking for work. They’re just waiting for their employer to bring them back.

You were dead wrong about this. Furloughed workers in the restaurant industry who returned to work in May were included as job gains. As a matter of fact, they accounted for over half of the total job gains (1.4 million jobs).

Were they not counted as job losses? If so, why would they not be counted as jobs gained?

In terms of job gains, there won't be another month like May. Like I said in an above post, 1.4 million of the 2.5 million jobs added in May were simply restaurant workers who had been furloughed in March, but returned to work when the quarantines were lifted.

Father Pavone: President Trump Shows Inspiring Leadership for Believers

FR. FRANK PAVONE5 Jun 5, 2020

Countless American believers in the Bible, myself included, were inspired tremendously on Monday when President Trump stood in front of St. John’s Episcopal Church, across the street from the White House, and held up the Word of God for all to see.

The president’s likely opponent in the November elections, Democrat Joe Biden, was not among those who were inspired. Instead, tone-deaf as he is to the American people and the things of the Spirit, he said the president’s appearance outside the church shows he “is more interested in power than in principle.”

Some religious leaders found it “baffling and reprehensible” that the St. John Paul II National Shrine would allow the president to visit with First Lady Melania Trump, who is Catholic.

Actually, the opposition to the President’s actions is baffling. Every religious leader should be cheering the president’s expression of faith and commitment to religious liberty.

Before the nation became engulfed in violence sparked in part by the death of George Floyd and in large measure by unrelated agendas of violent agitators, the president had planned to sign an executive order on international religious freedom at the John Paul II Center.

“This was fitting,” according to a statement on the Shrine’s Twitter page, “given John Paul II was a tireless advocate of religious liberty throughout his pontificate.”

President Trump, too, is committed to preserving religious liberty in our nation and in the world but that one unassailable fact is conveniently overlooked by his critics.

Trump has been a tireless advocate for religious freedom during his presidency, beginning with an executive order close to my heart that he signed during a Rose Garden ceremony in May 2017, just over three months into his term. My colleague Alveda King, who leads our Civil Rights for the Unborn outreach, was there to represent Priests for Life.

That is from the actual data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. 1.4 million of the 2.5 million jobs added in May were in the restaurant industry. Those were workers who had been furloughed in March.

Where were the 1.1 million from? Also, are you belittling restaurant workers? Not to mention, the energy sector is coming back as well. Buckle buttercup, things are turning around fast just like Trump said it would. The fundamentals of the economy are strong and Trump has that magic wand that your King Obama said he was going to need to bring manufacturing back. Guess what, it's coming back faster than the experts thought.

15% were in retail. This is a key stat:

"While employers recalled temporarily laid-off or furloughed workers in May, the number of permanent job losses rose, a sign that some businesses didn't survive the shutdown."
