I predict unemployment will drop in the next BLS report

[bigrebnc1775]

That's right I say unemployment will drop again. But is it a good thing?

This coming weekend around 80,000 people in Michigan are set to lose their jobless benefits, so the Michigan Unemployment Agency is offering extended hours to help people with questions.

It is all about lying about what is and is not meant by the supposed unemployment numbers.

The question to ask is how many as a percent were employed BEFORE Obama took over and how many NOW as a percent are employed.

That's not what will be used. I think unemployment will drop below 8 in the next BLS, and the left will cheer because of the false numbers.

How many times must it be explained that the "Unemployment rate" isn't calculated by UI numbers?

It's all about the numbers and how each side will spin it in their favor.

You sound like you think this is a new thing? It's been going on with nearly every POTUS since the BLS has been calculating it. And it would be happening even if it was a GOP POTUS.

I predict more people will drop out of the work force! making it seem that more people are employed overall.

Coincidence?

Obama + dem Congress = economy going down more

Obama on the ropes + a rep House = economy slightly improving


Seems to me, we could keep obama, make the Senate a rep majority, put more reps in the House and it's choo choo, gravy train time.

I have heard on National News networks that there are Big Biz not hiring to make it tough on Obama's re election chances. We all saw the oil companys play ball with the BUFFOON gw bush's party before the 2008 election by dropping gas prices for no apparent reason.Today we see those same oil company's raising prices before the 2012 election for no apparent reason except helping repukes during this election.

got links to back up what you are saying?

fyi; we still have a war going on. Iran is making threats to not sell oil. Northern Africa and chunks of the ME are in turmoil.

hint; that can drive up the cost, demwit.

The 'apparent' reasons for gasoline price fluctuations are the cost of crude oil and world wide demand. Even a buffoon like you should be able to figure that out.

One thing we can always depend on is the party not in the White House claiming that the White House is influencing the various announced economic numbers in its favor. Like clockwork, both sides.

As many times as it takes to keep telling you that when a person loses their unemployment in mass the unemployment numbers go down.

 

[editec]

The number of people collecting unemployment checks has nothing to do with the unemployments numbers.

Educate yourself, please.

We've been over this time after time and STILL some of you refuse to get it.

Or the party in the white house taking credit for something they did not do when it shows up in a positive out come.

You know what a better indicator of what is going right in the individual Americans lives?


The consumer confidence number.

You see if a family has someone who stops looking for work and yet still sees improvement in their lives then dropping of the unemployment rolls could be a possitive thing in their lives huh?


When a family member decides they DONT have to work so that family can live a comfortable life then that isnt bad is it.

How do you sus that out?


Consumer confidence numbers.


How are those numbers doing now?

Yes what the president does do will have an affect on oil prices. Example would be when Bush lifts executive ban on offshore oil drilling, oil prices come down. obama reinstates the ban oil prices shoot back up.

Yes, both sides. Which is why we simply can't believe partisans.

Only if you look through a highly partisan prism.

Fortunately, many other people don't look at the world that way.

How is it that these families find they can live so well and comfortably and NOT work? Exactly? Is there a secret formula?

You're right partisanship is bad for the country and non partisanship is good.
Was the patriot act a good thing?
How about the NDAA 2012?
