U.S. Jobless Claims Drop to Lowest Level Since 2006

and so then what would the real unemployment number be if Barry was not adding so many to the disability roles?

Let's figure that out...though I find the notion of the President personally adding people to the rolls without their consent to be very disturbing.

January 2009 there were 26,804,000 disabled (no idea how many received disability payments) and in July 2014 there were 29,116,000.
So of the 2,312,000 added disabled, how many receive benefits and how many did Obama add?

Those are ALL disabled, disabled WORKERS are less.

In Dec 2008 there were 7,427,000 disabled workers and in June 2014 there were 8,954,000. That is only 1,497,000 disabled workers added while Obama was president. As compared to Bush adding 2.4 million workers to the disabled list during his terms.

Where are you getting your numbed? BLS has 4,962,000 employed disabled for July.

Not everyone who is disabled or collecting disability is a worker. Only workers on disability would influence the UE rate.

Obama is a bleeding heart lib commie so of course he will be adding people to welfare progams faster than Bush. Libs stand for welfare while cons stand for work. Guess which is better?

According to the bureau of labor statistics, registered unemployment is down, however, participation in the work force is at the lowest level in decades, food stamp and government assistance enrollment continues to increase. This fact alone should be troubling when one views unemployment numbers.

"Worker" is not defined in your links, and, as I noted, your figures have far more "disabled workers" than BLS has for the Disabled Labor Force. So that makes your figures impossible to use in analyzing Labor Force stats.

Types of Benefits

Disabled worker—beneficiary who worked in covered employment long enough to be insured and who had been working recently in covered employment prior to disability onset

In any case, the liberal idea is to cripple more andmore workers with disability payments that buy votes and cost real workers sky high taxes .

While in the labor force statistics, Disabled is defined as

A person with a disability has at least one of the following conditions: is deaf or has serious difficulty hearing; is blind or has serious difficulty seeing even when wearing glasses; has serious difficulty concentrating, remembering, or making decisions because of a physical, mental, or emotional condition; has serious difficulty walking or climbing stairs; has difficulty dressing or bathing; or has difficulty doing errands alone such as visiting a doctor's office or shopping because of a physical, mental, or emotional condition.

Neither covered employment nor receipt or eligibility for benefits is relevant....Disabled are Employed, Unemployed, or Not in the Labor Force. Those who live in a long term health care facility are not in the population.

Except new disability awards have gone DOWN the last few years!

dear, Obama voted to left of Bernie Sanders and had 3 lib commie parents. The idea is to cripple America with more welfare for all!! A child know this just not a liberal.


"Politicians often discuss the “welfare state” or the “entitlement society” that they believe America is unwittingly sinking in to, but the latest statistics from the Social Security Administration provide a disturbingly clear illustration of just how far we have come.

In June of 1992, there were about 35.5 people working for each person who accepted disability checks. By May of 2012, that dynamic had shifted so drastically that there are now roughly only 16.3 people working for each person accepting the checks, according to the Social Security Administration.

To put that in perspective, the number of beneficiaries has grown so large that it now exceeds the population of New York City.

To give you some raw numbers, in June of 1992, there were 118,419,000 people employed in the United States and 3,334,333 workers accepting federal disability payments. By May of 2012, there were 142,287,000 people employed in the United States, and 8,707,185 people accepting disability payments.

As you can see, we barely have more jobs than we did in 1992, but have more than doubled the number of people accepting benefits.
