216,000 jobs created in February

[Syphon]

Hiring in the private sector picked up in February, according to a report released Wednesday by payroll processor ADP.
Private employers added 216,000 jobs in the month, ADP said, roughly in line with forecasts for 218,000 jobs gained.

Small businesses -- those with fewer than 50 employees -- made up half of the job gains in February, hiring 108,000 people.

A rise in manufacturing jobs was particularly encouraging. Factories added 21,000 jobs.

With Democrats in the White House, the average annual job creation for the last 48 years was just a hair under 2.2 million additional jobs.
Under Republican presidents, half of that, 1.1 million jobs. GDP growth under Democrats, 3.2%. Under Republicans, 2.1%.
Now here it gets fun: Average annual S&P 500 growth rate under Democrats, 10.8%. Under Republicans, 2.3%.
All of this is public knowledge, you can get these results from Bloomberg, BLS and BEI. You can't argue with data. You can spin as much as you want, BS to the high heavens, but so many critical indices show again and again (I didn't even bring up debt to GDP performance) to very heavily favor Democratic presidents. So either there is an ideological economic advantage to Democratic policies, or Republicans have made terrible presidents.

Or maybe a little of both. Either way, you can't argue facts with opinions alone, and win any logical argument.

how will the GOP try to spin this their way now?

not one GOP spin....... quite disappointing

How many were dropped from the roles again?

I just want the numbers to have some real meaning.

 

[iamwhatiseem]

Anything less than 350,000 new jobs is still stagnant. We very much need to be in the 400k - 450k per month job creation.

 

[Old Rocks]

They have real meaning. The rich do very well under the GOP, the rest of us, less well. If you want a robust economy that raises all boats, vote Democrat.

 

[Dr.House]

You've shown how many were added...

Now show how many were lost...

While 1.66 million net jobs have been added during the Obama "recovery,” over that same time the number of working age Americans not in the labor force rose by 7.14 million. There is no comparable post-World War II "recovery" where this type of exodus has occurred.

see what happens is the count up how many job are created..... thennnnnnnn they deduct (that means subtract) how many jobs were lost. and thats how you get to +216,000. i can do the math again really slowly if you need me to

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

That doesn't even keep pace with population growth.

Rush comes on at noon.

We'll get the spin and talking points then.

True but the pubs will never allow that.

Blunt's amendment against women tacked onto a highway bill that would have created more than 1 million jobs is a good example of their sabotage. If they gain any more votes and/or the White House, the only jobs they will create will be war related.

President Obama has accomplished so much, including more than 4 million new jobs. Imagine what he could do for the US if he didn't have to fight anti-American Republicans.

 

[Old Rocks]

It definately beats the -700,000 job growth that the Bush Admin gave us at the end of his terms.

Special thanks to the lying democrats that said housing is as sound as it could be.

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

Weekly jobless claims are up by 8000 to 362000.

The op spin is predictable.

I asked you to show me the number of jobs lost... Are you saying you can't provide that number?

Also, did initial jobless claims shrink or rise last week? How about the week before? How about the last 3 weeks?

I just gave the facts. No spin required. Let me give it again.

That number doesn't even keep up with population growth. And weekly claims are up to 362000.

Both facts. No spin

The perils of having a democrat controlled congress are well documented....

So you take the biggest economic downturn since the Great Depression and tack those statistics onto the Republican side of your tally...even though the real estate bubble that burst and led the crash was fully as much the fault of Democratic policies as it was Republican...and then you take the inevitable economic rebound from that downturn and credit it to the Democratic side of the tally? But that's not "spin"?

What has Barack Obama done to grow jobs? What's he done to grow the economy? The fact is, whatever growth we've had over the past three years would have occurred no matter who was sitting in the Oval Office. Giving Barry credit for the stock market rebound is ridiculous. He has no plan to grow jobs. He has no plan to grow the economy. He has no plan to combat higher energy costs and in fact wants to see them get higher. He has no plan to keep manufacturing jobs here in the US. He has no plan to help the housing sector.

The fact is...we've had three years of flowery speeches and further promises of "Hope & Change" with very little to back it up. We're still being told that "green energy" will be what our new economy is going to be based on even as the green energy industries that this Administration has propped up with our tax dollars struggle and go belly up. We've got more people on long term unemployment than at anytime since the Great Depression and this President STILL doesn't have a viable plan to address that. Someone needs to tell Barry that extending unemployment benefits isn't "dealing" with joblessness...it's a bandaid on gaping wound. Pointing fingers at others doesn't solve our problems. Neither does kicking the problem down the road for someone else to deal with. Have you noticed that all of Barry's cost cutting seems to come in the future...or has to be determined by a group other than him? That's lack of leadership...that's an unwillingness to make the tough calls. That's Barry voting "Present" and leaving the hard work to someone else. That's the President you want to elect for another term. Why would we want four more years of hot air and no results?

The truth is, unemployment rose from 8.3 to 9% in February.

You got to drink a lot of kool aid to see an improvement.
