Fox Reports That 98,000,000 Americans Out Of Work

"The Big Lie: 5.6% Unemployment
The official unemployment rate, as reported by the U.S. Department of Labor, is extremely misleading.

Right now, we're hearing much celebrating from the media, the White House and Wall Street about how unemployment is "down" to 5.6%. The cheerleading for this number is deafening. The media loves a comeback story, the White House wants to score political points and Wall Street would like you to stay in the market.

While you are as unemployed as one can possibly be, and tragically may never find work again, you arenotcounted in the figure we see relentlessly in the news -- currently 5.6%. Right now, as many as 30 million Americans are either out of work or severely underemployed. Trust me, the vast majority of them aren't throwing parties to toast "falling" unemployment.

Right now, the U.S. is delivering at a staggeringlylow rate of 44%, which is the number of full-time jobs as a percent of the adult population,..." The Big Lie: 5.6% Unemployment

The U-6 is much more accurate. Only dunces don't know this...like you.

Much more accurate at what? The two measures don't measure the same thing. You can't compare them as they're answering completely different questions.

The U-3 tells us how much available labor is not being used.
The U-6 tells us how much available and potentially available labor is not being used to its fullest capacity.
So which one you use entirely depends on what you want to know.

Oh, and statistically speaking, the U-6 is much less accurate because marginally attached and part time for economic reasons have larger sample error (because they are small components) and non-sample error (because the definitions are so precise, they might be confusing.

Why ask such a silly question. Do you know what the U-3 and u-6 measure?

The u-3 is structurally inaccurate and you know it. The U-6 has problems, but is more accurate than u-3.

The UE measures the percent of the labor force that is not working. That is all it is supposed to measure. In order for it to be a "lie," then that number must be inaccurate. But the complaint is NOT that the number is inaccurate, but that it doesn't measure something else entirely. Which is odd.

So, PoliticalChic....does the headline Unemployment rate accurately show the percent of the labor force which is unemployed, taking into account seasonal labor market patterns?

What does Bush have to do with the fact that almost 100 million Americans don't want to work under Obama, when they can get free gold teeth and spinners for their car?.

Dorothy,

Is that all their getting under Obama?

Under Bush, poor people got free homes. Watch this video.


The current Republican Party hands out more free shit than any political party in the history of this nation. This is why Reagan tripled the debt of Carter . . . and Bush doubled the debt of Clinton.

Turn off FOX News. You've been lied to.

"Census ‘faked’ 2012 election jobs report
In the home stretch of the 2012 presidential campaign, from August to September, the unemployment rate fell sharply — raising eyebrows from Wall Street to Washington.

The decline — from 8.1 percent in August to 7.8 percent in September — might not have been all it seemed. The numbers, according to a reliable source, were manipulated."

They have to lie.

Bush handed Obama a nation in financial ruins.

Obama turned it around. If the Republicans admit Obama's success, they have no claim to power. The only thing they have left is fear over terrorism, which they are overplaying.

Bernie wants to rebuild the Middle Class. The Republicans want to rebuild the bank accounts of weapons contractors. When Bush/Cruz/Trump talk about rebuilding the military, they are repeating the insanity of the Bush years. They are overblowing the terrorist threat because it serves their geopolitical plans for the Middle East; meanwhile the real nuclear bomb exploded over the housing and financial markets. They completely missed the real threats facing this country.

These people are dangerous. They couldn't even defend the eastern seaboard of the United States and they destabilized the Middle East for generations - but they want our trust. To rebuild the military which they wield with the skill of a bull in a china shop.

"Hi I'm from government and I want to "protect you". Now give me your money so I can rebuild the military . . . so that I can fuck the world up even more. Trust me."

I just told you. The U-3 measures how much available labor is not being used: the number of people who are available and actively looked for work in previous 4 weeks (unemployed) as a percent of unemployed plus employed (Labor Force)
The U-6 measures how much available and potentially available labor is not being used to its fullest capacity: the number of Unemployed plus the number of people who want and are available and who actively looked for work in previous 12 months but not previous 4 weeks (marginally attached) plus those who want and are available to work 35+ hours but who are working < 35 due to slow or slack business or inability to find full time work (part time for economic reasons) as a percent of the Labor Force plus the Marginally Attached.

[Soggy in NOLA]

According to the federal government, there are 12.6 million working age Americans that are considered to be “officially” unemployed, but there are another 87.8 million working age Americans that are not working either. The federal government considers those Americans to be “not in the labor force” so they are not included in the unemployment rate. In fact, this is one of the key ways that the government manipulates the unemployment numbers.
