Under Obama: 30 Worst Months of Employment in the Past 25 Years

The federal government’s Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes monthly tallies for the employment-population ratio. That stat shows something rather straightforward: Among those who are living in America and are free to pursue employment, what percentage are employed? (The bureau excludes those who are under 16 years old, are active-duty military, or are — in the bureau’s own words — “inmates of institutions (for example, penal and mental facilities, homes for the aged),” from its tallies.)
Barack Obama

Over the past quarter of a century (a total of 300 months), dating back to May 1987 and the Reagan administration, here are the 30 worst months (that is, the bottom 10 percent) for the employment-population ratio, along with the president who happened to be in office at that particular time (scroll down to the see the list)

I guess Democrats would rather not respond...lol

 

[Chris]

Since 1961...

Republican job growth - 24 million jobs in 28 years.

Democrats - 42 million jobs in 24 years.

 

[Chris]

We have just had the fastest drop in unemployment since 1984....from 10.2% to 8.1%. All this in spite of the fact that House Republicans have blocked infrastructure spending bills that would have helped. Why? Because Republicans are more concerned with winning the election than helping America.

 

[Chris]

Two of the three biggest parts of the economy have returned to normal, auto sales and retail sales.

The last piece of the puzzle is home sales. Home inventory just returned to six months inventory which is normal.

Therefore, housing starts will begin to pick up next year and bring down unemployment.

 

[Chris]

We are an aging country.

10,000 Americans a day are retiring.

There is going to be a labor shortage.

Republican job growth - 24 million jobs in 28 years.

Democrats - 42 million jobs in 24 years.

Obama.. not so much...

Kinda pathetic he has to suck on other Presidents legacies to look good.. ain't it?

.. and it would be interesting to know who was running Congress during these times, say for instance the Clinton years, he was a pretty much a failure until the Republicans took over Congress, correct.

Democrats revel in filing Americans that have ran out of unemployment benefits, lost their private business or have essentially given up looking for a job as non-existent..The same thing will happen with Obamacare I'm thinkin...

Mitt Romney will ask Congress to raise the caps on visas for highly skilled immigrants.

Immigration | Mitt Romney for President

From Mitt Romney's own website.

There are 3.5 million jobs going unfilled because there aren't the workers with enough skills to fill those jobs. The biggest part of Mitt's base are white guys without college. Mitt doesn't see building skills in these people. Instead, he wants to bring in educated from other countries. His own base isn't good enough to help out.

And they eat it up. They are standing in line hoping to be the next one royally fucked.

Under Obama: 30 Worst Months of Employment in the Past 25 Years | The Weekly Standard

Also employment--(people working in this country) has hit a 30 year low.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- The labor market lost momentum last month as job growth fell to a disappointingly slow pace. The unemployment rate also fell, as more people stopped looking for jobs.

The economy added 96,000 jobs in August, down from 141,000 jobs in July, the Department of Labor said Friday.

The U.S. lost 4.3 million jobs in President Obama's first 13 months in office. Track his progress since then.

Meanwhile, the unemployment rate fell to 8.1%, from 8.3% in July. Economists polled by CNNMoney were expecting 120,000 jobs to be added in the month, and the unemployment rate to remain unchanged.

The unemployment rate fell largely because 368,000 people stopped looking for work, many of them young people. Just 63.5% of the working-age population was either employed or actively looking for work -- a 30-year low.

August jobs report: hiring down, unemployment falls - Sep. 7, 2012

 

[NYcarbineer]

I recall hearing that it was the worst since 1981. Of course if you put the cutoff at 25 years then you don't have to talk about the Reagan presidency.

 

[g5000]

We have just had the fastest drop in unemployment since 1984....from 10.2% to 8.1%. All this in spite of the fact that House Republicans have blocked infrastructure spending bills that would have helped. Why? Because Republicans are more concerned with winning the election than helping America.

Yeahhhhh...about that drop in the unemployed number:


1. The working age population from August 2011 to August 2012 grew by 3.7 million. The number of employed persons grew by only 2.3 million.

2.

The number of persons employed part time for economic reasons (sometimes referred to as involuntary part-time workers) was little changed at 8.0 million in August. These individuals were working part time because their hours had been cut back or because they were unable to find a full-time job.

http://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/empsit.pdf

3.

The share of the unemployed finding work is very close to the recently set all-time low, and has barely improved over the last year. The share of the unemployed dropping out of the labor force, however, has been rising for more than a year, and now has exceeded those finding work for two years.

The Liscio Report

4. In the last Labor Bureau employment report 28,000 of the 96,000 jobs created were in the bar and restaurant business. Anyone care to bet on how many of those 28,000 were recent college grads who can't find work in their fields?

5. The BLS just revised several previous months' employment numbers down.

6. Despite the number of jobs being created not keeping up with the number of people in the workforce, Unemployment dropped from 8.3% to 8.1% in August. The reason for this is because 195,000 people went from "employed" to "not in labor force", and another 226,000 went from "unemployed" to "not in labor force". People are choosing to involuntarily retire when losing their jobs, or have given up looking for jobs entirely.


We are trending downward, genius. This is not good.

Ah yes, as I was saying...

The employment/population ratio was at or below the current number of 58.2

from December of 1981 through August of 1983.

That would be for almost half of Ronald Reagan's first term.

Now you know why the OP's propaganda piece only went back 25 years.
