Govt says unemployment is 5% but 20% of families have NOBODY WORKING.!!!

[ShootSpeeders]

Obozo caught in yet another lie. But the media won't challenge him and so he'll keep on lying.

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

In 2015, 6.9 percent of families included an unemployed person, down from 8.0 percent in 2014, the
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Of the nation’s 81.4 million families, 80.3 percent had at
least one employed member in 2015.

Yeah because the people who are not receiving UC are on Food stamps and no longer counted. Only someone with Oatmeal in their head would believe the unemployment rate is 5%

The fact that short term interest rates are .25% proves the 5% unemployment number is an outrageous lie. If the economy was that strong, short term rates would be over 4%

What's the lie? You're claiming that the BLS is telling the truth about the percent of families with no one working but lying about the unemployment rate, when both sets of data come from the very same survey? How does that make sense?

A family is 2 or more people living together related by birth, adoption, or marriage. Among those 1 in 5 families are my parents...a 2 person household where both are retired. Their neighbors are also a retired couple.

The unemployment rate is the percent of the Labor Force (people working or trying to work) who are not working.

And looking through Table 1. Employment and unemployment in families by race and Hispanic or Latino ethnicity, 2014-2015 annual averages we see that there are16,050,000 families where no one is employed, 5,615,000 families where at least one person is unemployed...of which 3,861,000 have at least one person who is employed. So that means there are 16,050,000 families where no one is working, but only 1,784,000 where anyone is trying work. Since we know there are 51 million people age 55 and older who do not want a job (presumably retired), we can assume that a large percent of those 14 million families where no one is working or trying to work are retired couples.

The wingnut problem is this: Nearly everything in this country is 100X better than it was before the secret Muslim Kenyan without a scandal took office. It`s truly driving them over the edge

You don`t remember losing 745,000 a month during Gomer`s last 5 months? If the DOW loses 10,000 points today it will be higher than it was when Obama took office. You calling Obama a racist is hysterical....but incredibly stupid!

Hey stupid. All the economic numbers are lies. If the economy is so sound, why do we have a short term interest rate of .25%. That's the million $ question you libs can't answer.

The only reason the stock market is high is because obozo gave the bankers trillions of dollars (he's admitted that) and told them use that to prop up stocks.

So you're claiming your OP is wrong and the claim that 20% of families have nobody working is a lie? That's odd that you would intentionally post and support a lie.

We need to do something to get retired families back in the workforce

Don't we have workhouses we can send them to?
