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

[mudwhistle]

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?

You have teeth envy? What part of Kentucky are you from?

Alot of Democrats live in KY.

Why are conservatives so fucking stupid? We have this same exact conversation every month and they continue to show their ignorance on the subject.

Fascinating...can't understand why more minorities don't flock to the Right.

If that's even close to the truth nobody had a job under Bush:

98 million out of work, and all the cons can say is "Get a job" Uh, where? Their answer is cut Social Security, cut welfare, cut food stamps, cut healthcare and cut wages. Even with all the job growth under Obama, it still doesn't come close to 98 million. Cons live in a fantasy world.

I couldn't help noticing that you described the Reagan years. The number of homeless on the streets doubled under Ronny Boy. He slashed tax rates for the rich to 50 year lows. I might also point out that he quadrupled the national debt.

Record number of people and not one year of more than 3% growth under Obama. But you liberals keep bragging, shows your ignorance.

Here's your ignorance:

"Despite facing challenges at the domestic level along with a rapidly transforming global landscape, the U.S. economy is still the largest and most important in the world. The U.S. economy represents about 20% of total global output, and is still larger than that of China. Moreover, according to the IMF, the U.S. has the sixth highest per capita GDP (PPP), surpassed only by small countries such as Norway and Singapore. The U.S. economy features a highly-developed and technologically-advanced services sector, which accounts for about 80% of its output. The U.S. economy is dominated by services-oriented companies in areas such as technology, financial services, healthcare and retail. Large U.S. corporations also play a major role on the global stage, with more than a fifth of companies on the Fortune Global 500 coming from the United States.

Even though the services sector is the main engine of the economy, the U.S. also has an important manufacturing base, which represents roughly 15% of output. The U.S. is the second largest manufacturer in the world and a leader in higher-value industries such as automobiles, aerospace, machinery, telecommunications and chemicals. Meanwhile, agriculture represents less than 2% of output. However, large amounts of arable land, advanced farming technology and generous government subsidies make the U.S. a net exporter of food and the largest agricultural exporting country in the world.

The U.S. economy maintains its powerhouse status through a combination of characteristics. The country has access to abundant natural resources and a sophisticated physical infrastructure. It also has a large, well-educated and productive workforce. Moreover, the physical and human capital is fully leveraged in a free-market and business-oriented environment. The government and the people of the United States both contribute to this unique economic environment. The government provides political stability, a functional legal system, and a regulatory structure that allow the economy to flourish. The general population, including a diversity of immigrants, brings a solid work ethic, as well as a sense of entrepreneurship and risk taking to the mix. Economic growth in the United States is constantly being driven forward by ongoing innovation, research and development as well as capital investment."

I noticed you didn't provide a link to this graph to prove it's validity.

Sure he did. Its source is in 'properties'.

Ninety-eight million is almost 50% of the working-age population. Math: Not FAUXNews' strong suit.

America has almost 300 million people. 98/300 is about 1/3. What were you saying about math...wait...let me speak slower. What....were...you...saying...about...math?

What part of "working-age population" did you not understand?

 

[edthecynic]

so at least 10 more million people have lost their jobs in 7 years,,,thats an Obama economic recovery?

LIAR!
Job losses have DECLINED from 12 million to 7.8 million.

 

[edthecynic]

If that's even close to the truth...

here is the exact numbers, i posted it before, did you miss that post, most likely....!!:
Record 94,610,000 Americans Not in Labor Force
The number of Americans not in the labor force exceeded 94 million for the second time in a row last month hitting a new record high, according to new government data released Friday morning.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that a record 94,610,000 people (ages 16 and over) were not in the labor force in September. In other words they were neither employed nor had made specific efforts to find work in the prior four weeks.

The number of individuals out of the work force last month — due to discouragement, retirement or otherwise — represented a substantial 579,000 person increase over the most recent record, hit in August, of 94,031,000 people out of the workforce.
Record 94,610,000 Americans Not in Labor Force - Breitbart

anything over 90 million people would mean that the real unemployment is around 40%,,,,,maybe the missed the decimal point,,,is it actually 49.5 % ??

When Bush left he had 80.5 million not in the labor force and 12+ million unemployed, so his 7.4% U-3 rate was also off by a decimal point so it was actually 74%

So now we have 94 million not working......and you claim unemployment has gone down. Only if you ignore specific details. Only if you don't count people who gave up working because they have better options. Like collecting a check from the government. Basically a bribe from Obama not to work.......and become dependent on Democrats.

BULLSHIT!

People who have worked all their lives and paid into SS all their lives EARNED their SS.

1/3rd of the country huh?


aside from la la land, where do these idiots come from?

If that's even close to the truth nobody had a job under Bush:

I did and what does that have to do with now? Bush hasn't been president for seven years.

It's just the way it is on political message boards.
Boards like USMB attract mostly the fringe element filled with severe distaste (hate) for their opposition. Everything that goes wrong is always the otherside's fault and their side always has the answer.
When W was president, anything that went wrong, well it was Clinton's fault. With Obama in office the shoe is on the other foot and now everything is W's fault.
This board (along with other boards) lacks enough objective posters to be taken seriously.

Bush had such a large majority he used reconcilliation three times. You can only use it once a year.

Democrats under Obama used it once.

We know millions of jobs moved to China and tens of thousands of factories were shut down under Bush. Obama had nothing to bring back. Get it? They were shut down. Gone.

Some facts just can't be twisted. They are what they are.

Unemployment rate is under 5% , yet fox would have us believe it's something like 40% !?

Don't you think people would notice !?!

Out of the 93.8 million Americans age 16 and up who are deemed "not in the labor force," 9.7 million of them are between 16 and 19 years of age. Another 5.7 million are between 20 and 24. And 37.8 million are age 65 and over. (In fact, 17.5 million are over 75 years old.)Aug 31, 2015

number of americans out of work - Google Search

First the fuckers inflate the number by millions. Then, way over 50 millions are over 65 years old with many of those over 75 years old. Then millions more are just teens and most of them are probably still in school

Fucking dirty ass lying right wingers. If you are going to be so dishonest and ignorant, can't you at least be a little more sneaky?

 

[Campbell]

It is the number of Americans over the age of 16 not working.

Which includes students who didn't drop out of High School at 16, Students who went to college, stay at home spouses, retirees, the disabled, family caregivers, etc. none of whom want a job.

Of course. Why did you feel it necessary to post this? Was it an effort to somehow legitimize BO's terrible jobs record?

Funny you guys said bill sucked when his economy rocked. You said bush was good when he wasn't and you aren't happy that Obama fixed Bush's mess

That's what makes them good Republicans.........the lying. My favorite campaign is when George W. Bush and his cabinet told 935 "documented" lies about Saddam Hussein's WMD's......those were classics.

What the fuck you talking about?

Yes Tele tubbie number one fan, one third of the working age don't work

 

[initforme]

Anything that pays less than $40 grand per year without benefits should not be considered a job.

Got a link to back up your claim showing Fox News said it, or are we supposed to take your word for it?

It's a job but not a career

People need careers

 

[Arianrhod]

...one third of the working age don't work

Evidence?
