U.S. Economy Lost 54,000 Jobs in August; Unemployment Rate Rises to 9.6%

[teapartysamurai]

Read all here: U.S. Private Sector Adds 67,000 Jobs - WSJ.com

Man, how is that "summer of recovery" going for you.

Liberals keep telling us about "jobs added" but what kind of jobs if the unemployment rate goes up again?

Are these census workers? Temporary jobs? Part time jobs? Are the jobs being lost the more permanent work job seekers need?

Liberals are going to find it hard to hide behind "stats" when the obvious is a lot of people are out of work!

Those people are going to vote come November.l

It's about the jobs liberals, and Obama and the Democrats are the ones that need to be put of work, to make that part of our economy better.

Total government employment, which includes state and local jobs, fell 121,000. The declines were a result not just of the letting go of 114,000 census workers, but also job cuts by state governments facing budget pressures.

So take away those nasty government jobs and we actually saw an increase from the private sector.

For months, Cons have been saying "Its just census jobs...its just census jobs"
Now those jobs are going away and we saw a 0.1% increase in unemployment

Now those jobs are going away and we saw a 1% increase in unemployment

Precisely, because there is no economic recovery taking place. The lower unemployment rate was nothing more than a facade.

The market was so upset by these new figures that it skyrocketed

Stocks extend September rally; Dow positive for year - USATODAY.com

Investors have received more encouraging reports on the economy over the past three days than they did throughout August, when data regularly fell short of the market's already modest expectations. Reports beginning with Wednesday's manufacturing data touched off a rally at the beginning of September, which is historically a bad month for stocks.

There were other encouraging signs in the employment report Friday, including revisions to June and July's reports that showed the economy added more jobs than the government previously said.

More than a half-million Americans resumed their job searches in August. That drove up the unemployment rate to 9.6% from 9.5%, but it could also be a sign that more people are hopeful about the recovery.

For the week, the Dow is up 2.9%, while the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq are both up 3.7%. It was the first week of gains in a month for both the Dow and S&P.

No shit, right?

Isn't this exactly what they want? A decrease in government jobs and and increase in private sector jobs.

Why is this being posted like it's a bad thing?

Hellooooooooooooooooooooo!

I thought the link you posted made that clear. Despite net gains in private sector jobs, the shedding of temporary government census jobs put us at an overall net loss for the month.

So private jobs increased and government jobs decreased which is exactly what y'all want yet here you are trying to paint it as a negative. I wonder why.

Because those temporary census jobs have gone away. It rose a whopping 0.1% to show that those lost census workers are being made up by the private sector....just like conservatives wanted.

Census jobs are now gone and the unemployment rate is now down 0.6% for the year

The conservative plan is to cut tens of thousands of government jobs (unless they're in defense of course, where they want even more government jobs). That's the conservative plan to put America back to work.

Didn't we lose all those jobs in the first place by following the conservative plan?

You know very well that a couple of good days on the stock market does not signal an economic recovery. A few months ago the DOW ran back up over 11,000 before it was slammed back down again under 10k. The market moves daily on every new bit of information that comes out. The true unemployment rate is in the teens and until that begins to steadily fall there is nothing to cheer about.

You guys cherry pick the news that makes Obama's economic plans sound good while ignoring the bad news that comes out, just as there are people opposed to Obama's ideas who do the opposite.

And what will the Republicans do to create jobs, if they win in November?

Specifically.

It relates to this useless rightwing hack job of a thread and shows that despite teapartys celebrating that the unemployment rate went up 0.1% that the rest of the financial sector took it as a positive sign the economy is improving.

 

[Mr Natural]

A growing population, a dwindling job base, and readily available cheap overseas labor.

Ten percent unemployment is the new norm.

Welcome to the 21st century!

Bush's tax cuts are obviously still working as designed.

Only really, really, really stupid people think a political party can create jobs... unless they are federal employees.... and more fucking federal employees we do not need. A growing public sector and a declining private sector is a very, very bad thing.

Hellooooooooooooooooooooo!

Census jobs were taken out. But the private sector added 67,000 jobs. Add the numbers and you get over 120,000 census jobs.

Jobs have been added to private sector every month for the last eight.

This was on the news. Stop watching Fox.
