Employment rate below 60 percent for 40 consecutive months!! Yea, his policies have us going in the right direction.
Employment Rate Below 60.0 Percent for 40 Consecutive Months | The Weekly Standard
For 280 consecutive months before President Obama took office a span of more than 23 years the portion of Americans who were employed always exceeded 60.0 percent (according to official tallies from the Bureau of Labor Statistics). In marked contrast, last Fridays jobs numbers show that, under Obama, the portion of Americans who are employed has remained below 60.0 percent for 40 consecutive months.
In other words, when Obama took office, America had a streak going of 280 straight months in which at least 60.0 percent of Americans were employed. Under Obama, that streak was broken and a new one has begun: 40 straight months in which fewer than 60.0 percent of Americans are employed. ...........
An employment rate below 59.0 percent may appear to be the new norm under Obamacare. But it wasnt always this way. In fact, pre-Obama, the last time the employment rate didnt exceed 59.0 percent was in January 1984 more than 28 years ago.
