Over half a million jobs were lost this year alone. Almost every job industry was affected. I don't know what fantasy world you live in, but that doesn't mean the economy is good OR growing. The 3.3% growth was money spent by consumers as a result of the stimulus checks and HIGHER prices.
If you are talking about unemployment claims, you should NEVER use those as a determination of job growth (which clearly there wasn't any). You can only collect for certain amount of time, and once that time has concluded the government no longer counts you as unemployed. So if 5% of claimants were dropped (and assuming no more additional claims were filed), a report would say a 5% drop in claims...with the inference that those people found employment.
As I said above, the 3.3% increase is due MOSTLY to the stimulus checks AND higher prices. People who are gainfully employed are still spending money...but they are now paying more for everything. Business owners today don't seem to believe in the laws of supply in demand. Instead of lowering prices when demand is low, they raise prices hoping to offset the selling of less. It's a greedy world we live in. And it's our own doing.
