More Economic GOOD NEWS: Jobless rates lowest since 2008

[Intense]

The people who deny it is starting to recover dont seem to want the recovery.

I want a recovery, who doesn't?
That said, the Op and the title of the thread is very dishonest.

Propaganda won't bring back the economy, wishing it so won't make it happen.

The numbers related to unemployment and to construction starts don't really indicate the recovery we were told to expect.

Those that spread lies and propaganda are delusional, and only intend to spread their delusions to others.


Go spread out a blanket and sing kum-bay-ah, it will do just as much good for our economy as accusing those who only want real honest information as those "that don't want the economy to recover".


In the realm of the economy, wishing it so won't make it better any more than waving a magic wand at it.

Reality over Leftwing Propaganda, you dim bulb.

Millions of people are out of work in a recession that has been artificially prolonged by our government going on an inane spending binge - and you fall for the spin that everything is Happy Happy Joy Joy.

New jobless claims sink; 4-week average lowest since '08 - USATODAY.com

WASHINGTON (AP) — Initial claims for unemployment benefits fell slightly in the U.S. last week.
The Labor Department said Thursday that new jobless benefit claims dropped 6,000 to a seasonally adjusted 439,000, nearly matching analysts' estimates. It's the fourth drop in five weeks.

The four-week average of claims, which smooths volatility, fell nearly 7,000 to 447,250, the lowest total since the week of Sept. 13, 2008, just before Lehman Brothers collapsed and the financial crisis intensified.

Most economists expect jobless claims will soon drop below 425,000, a level that will likely signal sustained job creation.

The report comes a day before the Labor Department is scheduled to release the March employment report. Economists expect it will show the economy generated 190,000 jobs last month, the most in three years and only the second gain since the recession began.

Golly... 190,000 WHOLE JOBS? Break out the sparkling water kids... IT'S OVER! And just in time for CAP AND TRADE and the job killing VAT Tax... which is not to mention the endless heaping on of liability on the job market inherent in Obama's HealthsCare ruse.

Nice try

The thread title is yours, and it doesn't reflect whatthe article said.
"The four-week average of claims, which smooths volatility, fell nearly 7,000 to 447,250, the lowest total since the week of Sept. 13, 2008"

That makes YOU a dishonest partisan propagandist, and a lying fucktard troll to boot.
A piss poor try on your part, and very transparent attempt at partisan propaganda.

Playing with numbers while the private sector shrinks and government expands. Problem is that government has less to feed off of.

Considering that the Economy needs to generate over 350K jobs per month to recover what has been lost during this recession, without accounting for population growth.

The Labor Department’s revisions of employment figures show that the economy shed 8.4 million jobs during the recession, instead of the 7.2 million, as previously estimated. To give a sense of how big this jobs hole is, we would need to create 350,000 jobs per month for the next 24 months just to recover what we have lost since the recession began, and that’s not even compensating for population increases. The United States has sometimes been able to create such high levels of job growth after a recession, but job growth during the most recent economic recovery was much, much slower. After the 2001 recession, it took several years before we saw any consistent job growth and 350,000 were created in only two months of the entire economic cycle.

Why do you people want to see the economy stagnate and refute any evidence that it is recovering?

Or the problem is that over indulged government Is the problem.

Indeed.

John Edwards was right. There really are two Americas:

1) An enormous horde of low productivity government employees who have incredibly job security and are paid more and have lavish benefits compared to their private sector counterparts.

and...

2) The private sector which is being killed off by the greed of #1.

Why do you think that Bigger Government is a recovery?

Consumer spending up, sign of decent economic recovery - San Jose Mercury News

 

[Old Rocks]

Worms eye view from a steel mill in Oregon. We are now hiring more people, slowly returning many laid off in Nov2008 to work. We are getting more orders for high end products. And I am now being asked to work overtime, 20 hours overtime in this week alone.

The economy here has a long way to go to get back to healthy, but is going in the right direction at present. And property is beginning to move again, although prices are still low, and painful for all too many that overborrowed on the inflated prices of 2004 to 2008.

Spending growth in February matched economists' expectations. The reading on income was a bit
Advertisement
weaker than forecast.

Both the spending and income figures in Monday's report point to a modest economic recovery.

Many analysts predict the economy slowed in the first three months of this year after logging a big growth spurt at the end of 2009.

The economy will expand at a 2.5 percent to 3 percent pace in the January-to-March quarter, analysts predict. That's roughly half the 5.6 percent pace seen in the final quarter of last year.

In normal times, growth in the 3 percent range would be considered respectable. But the nation is emerging from the worst recession since the 1930s. Sizzling growth in the 5 percent range would be needed for an entire year to drive down the unemployment rate, now 9.7 percent, by just 1 percentage point.

High unemployment, sluggish wage gains, hard-to-get credit and record-high home foreclosures are all expected to deter consumers from going on a spending spree — one of the main reasons why the pace of the recovery will be more subdued than in the past.

A RECOVERING ECONOMY?

RESILIENT CONSUMERS: Consumers boosted their spending by a modest 0.3 percent in February even as their incomes stagnated. It marked the fifth month in a row that spending increased.

MORE CONFIDENCE: Consumer spending for the first quarter should clock in at a 3 percent pace, consistent with a modest "” not spectacular "” economic recovery, analysts predict.

HEADWINDS STILL IN THE PICTURE: High unemployment, sluggish wage gains, hard to get credit and rising home foreclosures are forces that will keep consumers from going on a spending spree anytime soon.


This recovery is weak - and occurring in a climate of the government prolonging the recession. We should be seeing higher growth and job creation - but the Big Government policies are retarding both.

Why do you people want to see the economy stagnate and refute any evidence that it is recovering?

Why do you think that Bigger Government is a recovery?

Because, just as in the First Great Republican Depression, somebody had to bail out the companies of the greedy bastards that created the problem, so they would not take all of us down the drain.

Obviously there have to be some stringent ruled and regulation on these people, or we will see this all over again.

So you say. I see the continued greed of the oligarchs as the primary problem.
