...how does a President create jobs?
That's exactly what the leftist "Truthfulpolitics" gang wants you to believe when they mangled the BLS numbers. I was surprised myself when I went over the BLS facts first hand, enough to download the numbers and check for the trend line:...looks like Reagan and Clowntoon are in a dead heat and Bush was abysmal....

We need to realize that current employment has fallen below historic trends to a point we haven't seen since the depression.
Political belly-aching aside, this is serious.
Absolutely, my comment about 'political belly aching' was for me as much as everyone else because it's so easy to get carried away here....I am not much partisan on this ...

The point is that we got a real problem and we need to get together on this.

If by WE you mean most Americans AND most of America's governments, I agree... ...The super rich are NOT hurting because of this mess. They benefitted from it.
So, how does a President create jobs?

LOL, you think my 'we' was me and the 'super rich'?
Seriously, the facts on employment show that our Republic faces a grave threat and this is a real bad time for us to turn against each other with some goofy rich/poor class warfare. America is one nation of both rich and poor, and both groups are better off when the rich are allowed to hire the poor.
If there really does exist somewhere a 'super rich' that gains more from chaos than from order than it represents an anomaly so rare that it doesn't merit consideration.
Other possibilities are that (1) he knowingly chooses to lie about creating jobs, and (2) that he says what he wants and couldn't care less what the truth is....he continually uses the term " jobs saved or created". Seems like Obama thinks he can based on his own words.
When the BLS talks about 'job creation' it's talking about changes in levels of employment.
...the truthpolitics graph is an accurate representation of the change in the number of jobs over the year. Your graph is simply showing the level, not the yearly change. Both graphs are accurate, they're just different views.When the BLS talks about 'job creation' it's talking about changes in levels of employment.
Well, the QCEW, which is what's coming up on your search, uses the same universe etc as the CES. It's a census (98% coverage) instead of a sample and is quarterly, not monthly....so it's basically the same data, just not as timely and much more accurate. I didn't see Business Employment Dynamics come up on the search, but that's a good source of quarterly flows (gross changes).[ctually no (lol!), a search at bls.gov shows that what they use for 'job creation' is employment levels plus tweaks, but between you and me I like the CES better even though a lot of people gripe that it counts anyone who worked a couple hours per week.
Employment has started going back up. I'm not sure what exactly you're trying to say hasn't been seen since the depression.Truthpolitics is not an econ site working on seeing business reality; if it were we'd be able to see what numbers they were looking at. It's a leftist political site set up to supply ammo for food fights. In the meantime employment's fallen from 3 percent long term growth to a level that's so far down it's not been seen since the depression.
