This is due to the Republican congress.

It was that 57th vote to overturn the ACA that was just the shot in the arm this economy needed.

"The economy had another robust month of job growth in January, adding 257,000 net new positions and producing the best wage gains in more than six years, the Labor Department reported Friday.

The unemployment rate ticked up to 5.7%, but that was because 703,000 more people entered the labor force, a positive sign for the jobs market, the report said.
In addition to January's job growth, the Labor Department said the economy added an additional 147,000 net new jobs combined in November and December."
