ARMAGEDDON...Jobless claims plunge to 222,000, second-lowest mark in decades

[rightwinger]

LOL

Everyone KNOWS those numbers are fake.....Trump himself told us so

He said the only number that matters is the Labor Participation Rate
Why is it dropping under Trump?

172 million people are not working

Give it up, dumbass. You people have lost what little credibility you might have had at one time.

Nobody's buying it any more.

The numbers don't lie

172 million Americans are not working.....most in history

I'm sure you have a link supporting your assertion.

Simple math will reveal your lies about employment

U.S. National Debt Clock : Real Time

US Population 327 million
US Workforce 155 million

Leaving 172 million NOT WORKING

Really!!! Simple math from a simple mind.

172 million are not working......the numbers are what they are

Trump's employment numbers are a disgrace....the worst in history

Such BAD NEWS!

JUST AWFUL!

"New applications for unemployment benefits dropped 7,000 to 222,000 in the second full week of February, the Department of Labor reported Thursday, the second-lowest mark of the recovery and a good sign for the economy.

Forecasters had expected new jobless claims to remain steady at an ultra-low 230,000. Lower claims are good news because they mean fewer people are getting laid off.

Thursday's mark is the lowest since the early 1970s, setting aside the week of January 13, when claims touched as low as 216,000."



Jobless claims plunge to 222,000, second-lowest mark in decades

But...but....but. Those numbers are fake.It doesn't measure those who gave up looking. The labor force participation rate is the lowest evah.

Bureau of Labor Statistics Data

Labor Participation Rate is the only number that matters
That is what Trump taught us

Okay, if you want to use 172 million, at what age should a person start working...age 5, 6, 10. And at what age are they considered not a person, 80, 90.

Folks who make a real effort to work, will work. The jobs are there. Good on Trump.

IMHO it's not quite that simple, we have a problem with structural unemployment, that is the skills available in the domestic labor force don't match the skills demanded by employers, so yeah there are jobs available but the labor force isn't able to supply sufficient numbers of workers with the skills wanted/needed and the education system isn't doing an effective enough job to remedy that.

The current remedy is to import the skills needed (immigration) or export the demand (off-shore), which is far from ideal.

Nah, folks who really wanna work, will work. The jobs are there.

Actually not, for example: if you're an engineer or a doctor there are plenty of jobs available but if you're a unemployed bank teller you don't have the skills to be an engineer or a doctor and there aren't a whole lot of openings for bank tellers, thus you're structurally unemployed, the fix is to re-train for some other line of work that is in demand but that's neither easy or quick (nor usually cheap).

In the meantime those people end up either under employed or without work.

Idiot, why is it bad news?

Yes yes, I know "you liberals are talking down economy, not fair!" When in reality what we've said is that economy has been getting better for 8 years, while all the right did was take a dump on it until your guy got into the WH.

Don't look at me...

I was happy using U3 definition of employment

It was Trump who explained that those numbers were fake and that you needed to include students, housewives and retirees in your employment numbers

Trump proclaimed Obama's economy "a disaster" because more people were out of the workforce than any time in history

That would make the Trump economy "A DISASTER"

Don't waste your time Thinker101, deputy dumbfuck doesn't know that the BLS doesn't count people under the age of 16 as part of the labor force.

Trump 10 min after getting elected, having done right about NOTHING for economy:

So much for the left's predictions the economy would crash if Trump was elected. Liberals look increasingly stupid with each passing day.

We have 172 million Americans not working

What fake numbers are you using?

You didn't seem to care about that number when Obama was president. I'm sure of it.

 

[AntonToo]

So much for the left's predictions the economy would crash if Trump was elected. Liberals look increasingly stupid with each passing day.

It's true there were SOME predictions like that BASED ON WHAT TRUMP PROMISED DURING CAMPAIGN, but never actually came through on (drastic tariff wars and much higher interest rates).


And do you want to recall what predictions the right was making about Obama economy? You fools can't aknowledge growth under Obama TO THIS DAY.

Don't count your chickens just yet , we are very late in the expansion stage of the business cycle and there's a good chance that we'll see a recession before Trump's first term is up, especially now that monetary policy is tightening and the fed is unwinding its balance sheet.

Faced with Trump's huge success, you deflect to Obama.

...said the can't-face-Obama-success asshole.

What you today call Trump's "huge success" looks awfully a lot like what you called Obama's "DISASTER!!" just yesterday.

So yes, absolutely we need to talk about Obama.

They were the ones who month after month insisted that we include retirees, handicapped, students and housewives in employment figures

<sob> But what about Labor Participation Rate?

What you call Trump's "huge success" looks awfully a lot like what you called Obama's "DISASTER!!". Hence the NEED to bring up Obama.

Trump is more successful than Obama, that's what this thread proves. Tissue?
