Harry Reid says PRIVATE SECTOR jobs doing fine--it's GOV jobs that are suffering

This is unbelievable. Harry Reid--Democrat senate majority leader trying to push Obama's new job's bill through the senate makes this comment.

actually, last month and the month before, the number of private sector jobs created were canceled out by the number of government jobs terminated.

reality, it's quite a concept.

yes quite a concept....:rolleyes:

But James Hohman, assistant director for fiscal policy at the Mackinac Center for Public Policy, disagrees. He said private-sector jobs have been hit harder than public-sector jobs since the recession started in December 2007.

The private sector has lost 6.3 million jobs, a 5.4 percent drop, since December 2007, while the public sector has only lost 1.8 percent, or 392,000 jobs, in that same time, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The public sector had 22.3 million jobs in December 2007 and dropped to 21.2 million in September 2011. The private sector had 115.6 million jobs in December 2007 and it dropped to 109.3 million as of September 2011.

Hohman said the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act of 2009 protected many government jobs.

“The private sector is still way down and they should not be asked to support government jobs that have been protected from a recession,” Hohman said.

Oh look. What a shock! The nutter takes it back to 2007! Who could have guessed?
 
He's probably right.


As their budgets are stretched governments repond by layoffs and frezing replacment hires thus exacerbating the emplooyment problem

And you think that is good??

You know what that means?

That would mean for every one government worker laid off 8 private sector workers were let go..

However, union public sector employees just aren't "fired."

Great news.

:clap2::clap2::clap2:

Then why do we need a "Jobs Bill?"

To keep Republicans from cutting public sector jobs.

As private sector jobs grow, tax revenues grow. As government jobs are cut and those people move into the private sector, tax revenues grow.

So you see a smaller government work force means MORE revenue for the government. It's a good thing not a bad thing that government jobs are eliminated.

So in theory the stimulus should have worked and there should be no "jobs bill" if that was the case.

Why is their debate about a jobs bill?? well because Obama is a goddamn ape like the rest of the progressives...

We wouldn't even be having this discussion if Obama's "New Deal" policies were successful would we??

What makes anyone think for a second round 14 will help the economy???

Now the socialist is just spending just to spend - that is treason....He doesn't care about anything - hes a fucking prick....

Obama is dangerous to the USA...

The Tea Bag effect is not only limiting public employees but also reduces Government contracts that add private sector jobs

It all helps to stagnate employment

Our economy doesn't belong to the government...

Much of Our economy is dependent on government spending at local, state and federal levels

How many employees rely on defense contract work or public works projects?

Maybe if we did not spend so much on 'defense', the libtards would have the money they want for their 'social' programs.
 
This is exactly what happened in Greece. While the people riot, government employees got raises in salary and not one lost their job.

If it is the same..

How do you account for the declining government employment figures?

We now are engaged in two wars that have been going on for ten years......maybe it is time to admit we can no longer afford them

So you're opposed to the middle class and business tax cuts that make up the plurality of the jobs bill?

Yes we know all about local governments having to cut back at the positions they just created during the last few years.,

If government can grow during good times it can shrink during bad.

You were not trying to say the feds cut jobs are you?

Harry Reid Misreads Facts on Public/Private Job Losses [Michigan Capitol Confidential]

why would i care about what some uber rightwing "thinktank says"? i've never seen anything true come out of randians.

so, apparently the data doesn't suit you.

*shrugs* I know you don't read and just fly by the seat of your broom , dropping off you rabbit pellets of wisdom, loon here here, wingnut there....but this is pretty basic stuff to find even for you.... denial aint a river in Egypt bubbula;


According to the White House budget office, the federal executive branch had 1.875 million civilian full-time equivalent employees when the financial crisis hit in 2008. Two years later, that number had risen by 253,000 jobs to 2.128 million, a 13.5% increase.

The budget office predicted earlier this year that the number would fall slightly to 2.101 million in fiscal 2011, which ended on September 30, but then rise again in 2012 to 2.116 million. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported in September that overall federal government employment had fallen by 30,000 jobs from September 2010, but that's after the rapid rise under President Obama. There's been no jobs recession in the Beltway.

So perhaps Mr. Reid is referring to state and local government jobs? Well, the Labor Department report for September shows that state governments have cut payrolls by all of 49,000 since September 2010, to 5.089 million. Local governments have reduced employment at a somewhat faster pace—by 210,000 workers in the last year, to 14.076 million.

The pace of these state and local cuts have picked up this year, as the federal stimulus spending has declined. But Democrats promised in 2009 that the stimulus would be temporary—to help states get through the recession. State and local governments now have no choice but to cut workers, as they adjust to a new and reduced level of tax revenue thanks to the slow economic recovery.

What's inaccurate in that chart? Has the economy not been producing positive private sector job growth since March of 2010?
