4.6% unemployment rate

[easyt65]

one of the great job creators president obama who was handed a bs economy and turned it around ,,,so sorry obama haters

1. Barry was handed a 'bad economy' by his fellow Democrats who held a near super majority control of all of Congress the last 2 years of Bush's administration - controlling Congress, the BUDGET, SPENDING, & thus the ECONOMY.

In those last 2 years liberals added $1.5 trillion in new debt while presiding over their declining economy.

In Bush's 1st 6 years, with a GOP Congress - during 9/11/01, the economic aftermath, & 2 wars - Bush only added $2.5 trillion, $1 trillion more that the liberals added in only 2 years.

Onama may have inherited a 'bad economy', but it was his fellow Democrats who gave it to him.

2. 4.6 unemployment rate....sounds great, especially when you don't count the 94 million Americans not wrking /in the work force and NOT all being to old to work.

Barry doctors his unemployment numbers as much as he doctored his Stimulus bill's "# of jobs created / saved".

Moron, the bad economy was due to toxic loans written years before Democrats took over in 2007. You should crawl out from under your rock more often to learn of these things.

Loans as a result of the liberals thinking everyone should have a house even if they can't afford it.

Yeah that GDP is simply staggering numbers

GDP isn't as important as you think it is That 4.6% number is HALF of what your repub friends left Obama with TRY for the first time in your life not to be a sore winner and give CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE

That 178K figure isn't great, but it's good.

Now what should happen is consolidation within the employed that leads to increased economic growth rates.

Fingers crossed.
.

You think trump could equal or even come close to Obamas record on jobs?

Easily...

It helps if you're not a globalist, actually have business experience, know there is no such thing as 'shovel-ready' jobs, and DON'T want to eliminate the US as a world power and world influence.

That dishonest piece of shit Obama has changed the criteria for determining unemployment.

Typical Democrat dishonesty. When the facts are against you then just invent something. The Moon Bat will believe it.

Forget that phony rose-colored-glasses U3 rate. The U6 rate is at 9.3% and the Labor Participation Rate is 62.7%. We still have more than 109,000,000 Americans on public assistance of some sort and nearly 10 million on disability.

The U6 unemployment rate counts not only people without work seeking full-time employment (the more familiar U-3 rate), but also counts "marginally attached workers and those working part-time for economic reasons." Note that some of these part-time workers counted as employed by U-3 could be working as little as an hour a week. And the "marginally attached workers" include those who have gotten discouraged and stopped looking, but still want to work. The age considered for this calculation is 16 years and over.

Well, we all know those unemployment numbers are a farce.

I don't know that. Please explain. The UE rate is supposed to measure the percent of people unsuccessfully trying to work: the amount of available labor not being used. How are you claiming it fails?

The real unemployment rate is closer to 15% with some 94M+ people out of work.

How are you defining "real unemployment" and where are you getting your numbers?

Depends on whether you're talking quality or quantity.

Obama's job growth figures won't be matched because the rate was so bad when he took over that the economy was able to add a lot of jobs.

The weakness remains the quality and pay of the jobs. Can Trump improve that? Well, it can be improved, and Trump would get the credit.

I'd have to see that data once that happened to decide where the credit should actually go.
.

Improve pay ?? No raise in minimum pay and the pay in Mexico is less than 4 bucks an hour and 360 or so of our biggest companies are there
Here the salary for same type jobs is about 34 bucks Is trump going to call those 360? and put a gun to their heads and get those jobs back?

I don't know.

I want to see our economy improve across the board. I don't care who gets the "credit", and I'll leave the silly partisan squabbling to the wingers.

Google it... a search engine is very resourceful.

It gets very tiresome teaching dimwits.

Of course this small uptick is because of new confidence in president elect Trump. It surely isn't from anything boi Barry did.

You must live in the deep woods to not see how well things are going.... Jobs are not filling gas tanks at the gas stations anymore but in technology .

You don't know what you're talking about. You were just blaming Democrats in office in 2007-2008. Now you're blaming Democrats in office before 1995.

And sorry, but Bush was no Liberal...

Wha.... ??

 

[TNHarley]

Good to see the rate continue to drop

Employers added solid 178,000 jobs in Nov.

The labor market perked up modestly in November as employers added 178,000 jobs and the unemployment rate fell to a nine-year low, providing more evidence of a solid economy in the final payroll report before an expected Federal Reserve interest rate hike.

The unemployment rate, which is calculated from a different survey than the payroll total, fell from 4.9% to 4.6%, lowest since August 2007





.

Hey, this is nothing compared to the 800 jobs that Trump bought.

Comparing a President to someone not in office. Nice standards.

Too funny. No one is scared of Trump, companies are now going to say what will you give us Trump, how much is it worth to you to make you look good.

Didn't you get the memo?

Trump is going to be President. You need to move away from the "unemployment numbers are a farce" and celebrate low unemployment numbers (U3)

I also suggest you stop referencing the 94 million people who are out of the workforce. Because with 4 million leaving the workforce every year due to retirement, it is only going to get worse under Trump

 

[AntonToo]

Forget that phony rose-colored-glasses U3 rate. The U6 rate is at 9.3%

Bullshit, U6 trends are consistent with U3 trends.

Wha.... ??

Bush lost private sector jobs over the course of his eight years (the Wall Street Journal declared it the “Worst Track Record On Record” on jobs), while Obama has created a net of 11 million private sector jobs during his presidency, and more than 14 million if you start counting after the Great Recession Bush handed Obama technically ended in mid-2009.


( Most of these jobs are in the Hi-Tech)

You need to learn to read a graph. Consistent but higher. That is the real unemployment that can't be hidden.

Obama has been a disaster for this country but Trump will fix that by lowering taxes and reducing regulations.

Obama could have done that to stimulate capitalism but the idiot was more interested in redistribution of income, wasn't he? You know, reparations.

There are 94 million who are retired, continue their education, raise their children, are in prison or otherwise refuse to go to work, Trumpovitch inherited an excellent economy
