Jobless rates drop in 34 states and DC

[VaYank5150]

Nationwide, employers added a net 290,000 job in April, the most in four years, the department reported earlier this month. The U.S. unemployment rate, though, rose to 9.9 percent as hundreds of thousands of job hunters — feeling more confident about their prospects — resumed or started searches.

Do these numbers include all those Census jobs Skull pilot was railing about?

 

[The Rabbi]

Cherry pick much?

Even as the employment picture is less bleak in many states, and the nation as a whole, many economists predict it will take years for the job market to get back to normal. A normal nationwide unemployment rate typically hovers around 5.5 to 6 percent. It's going to be a long slog because economic growth isn't robust enough for companies to ramp up hiring and quickly drive down the jobless rate.

This is the weakest recovery in the post war period, despite having spent more on it than any other recovery. Maybe Keynesiasm really doesn't work?

Regardless of how you SPIN this, it is a positive sign. Yes?

Is it a positive sign that in order to get a lowering in the rate of joblessness we have had to spend ourselves into bankruptcy? Is that your question?

Reagan's recovery was worse, took almost three years, and unemployment peaked at 10.8%. Maybe you should study economics, history, and leave off the demagoguery.

You had no other solution to protect the economy, Rabblerouser.

No, Jake. Unsubstatiated is your middle name. It might even be your first name. You are the King of such statements.
You are also King Fool of this board, pretending to be a Republican and all.
All hail Jake, King Fool of USMB!

Which claim? That we have spent more than any other recession and gotten less? (look at Grant's Interest Rate Observer for evidence)That our level of debt is unsustainable? That this recovery is short lived and a sham? Check the stock market, a leading indicator. About to close under 10k for the first time in a while. All the other stuff you can easily find using Google. Go to it.

Who cares what it was back then?

Are we not talking about Today, that is the only thing that really matters, IMO

Besides, I would think after losing so many Jobs, it is about time a few jobs were added, I guess that Laser Beam is Finally Focusing

Beat me to it.

The unemployment rate under Reagan didn't stop rising until it reached 10.4%, 2 1/2 years after he took office.

He was responding to a wild claim made by another poster.

And yes, it really doesn't matter, what matters is that things are improving now.

but then he's got nothing, and couldn't continue his partisan rants, and maybe would have to think.

exactly what trolls do, say things about other that fit themselves. He really is bad at it, completely unimaginative and totally obvious

The unemployment rate under Reagan didn't stop rising until it reached 10.4%, 2 1/2 years after he took office.

Let's see, Reagan inherited an unemployment rate of 7.5% and had been over 6% for a year or more. The inflation rate was in the double digits. Yes, it took time to reverse all that.
Obama inherited an unemployment rate of 7.4% but it had been much lower than that for most of Bush's terms. The inflation rate was under 2%.
Obama=/Reagan.

It's amazing how full of shit you are.

With every economist claiming it was going to get worse and even all politicians during elections talking about how bad the economy was and we were headed into bad times, and only a little over a year into his presidency, its alreading beginning to turn around. YOu admit it takes time for reversal when its a republican, but state the opposite when talking about Obama

More evidence you are nothing more than a troll or a completely moronic hack

You have already proven yourself a name-caller and insipid poster. This is no different. Wow, "only" a year and a trillion dollars spent on nothing and we have this spiffy recovery. What a fucking tool you must be. Do you suck this much in real life?

Bullshit. It's better than standing by and watching the economy of the whole effing world collapse - yes, the WHOLE WORLD - most CDO's were sold overseas, you know. You guys had since Reagan to begin to push NAFTA, deregulate, start unnecessary wars for MIC profit and give welfare to nonexistent farms, millionaires and oil companies... you had many years worth of hard work to break it. It's going to take some time and money to fix. Moron.
