After SURPASSING His Job Expectations Promise, CNN Now REFUSES to Update the Jobs Tracker they Created to Mock Him

CNN wants its viewers to know it’s committed to holding President Donald Trump accountable on the economy — even if the network hasn’t recently updated its tracker of how many jobs the economy has presented since Inauguration Day.



The network’s “Trump Jobs Tracker” is part of CNN Digital’s effort to keep its audience updated on whether the president is keeping his promises to release the full potential of the American economy after eight years of anemic growth under former President Barack Obama.



ne problem: The last time someone updated the tracker was Jan. 5, when the economy had only added 1,839,000 jobs since Trump took office. Under that pace, according to CNN, Trump is “off track” to fulfill his promise that he’d help create “25 million jobs in 10 years, or 208,333 jobs per month.”



Neglecting the tracker is a real shame. Federal economists estimated that employers added 200,000 jobs in January and Friday’s job report showed another 313,000 added in February — more than enough to be on a healthy pace to average 208,333 jobs per month in 2018.



Only one author of the tracker, Heather Long, has left CNN since its creation. However, part of the reason for the lack of updates could potentially be a consequence of the job cuts the company’s digital operation underwent in February.



Around 50 jobs were eliminated from CNN’s Digital team under the restructuring. The company missed its profit targets in 2017.
