Anyone remember which wingnuts here guaranteed that unemployment would go back up after the holidays...the ones too stupid to comprehend the phrase 'seasonally adjusted'?
lol
must be all that stimulas...actually no, that was spent a long time ago.
Maybee it's the "pass this bill right now" jobs bill...actually no, senate dems took a shit on that bill.
Probably ending the Bush tax cuts...actually no, he and dems failed.
If you liberals are happy, then thank the GOP.
The recovery continues....
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- American employers substantially stepped up their hiring in January, bringing the unemployment rate down for the fifth month in a row.
Employers added 243,000 jobs in January, the Labor Department reported Friday, marking a pick-up in hiring from December, when the economy added 203,000 jobs.
Meanwhile, the unemployment rate fell to 8.3%. That is the lowest since February 2009.
Job growth was much stronger than expected. Economists surveyed by CNNMoney had forecast 130,000 jobs added in the month, and that the unemployment rate likely ticked up to 8.6%.

This was a stupid post. If you want to credit the GOP, then how about you actually SAY SOMETHING that the GOP did to allegedly spur along the economy. Otherwise, enjoy your cup of shut the fuck up.
I can tell this good news is really bothering you.
I am delighted with the progress of DEVALUE my home has achieved over the last few years. It tickles me to death as it's worth drops - like every other home in America. I also enjoy it when my 401K tanks. It's a fantastic sensation.

The stock market is up 60% since Obama took office. If you have lost money on your 401k, you must be some kind of financial moron.
Mortgage rates have dropped over 1% since Obama became President. If you are smart, you would have refinanced and be paying significantly less for the same house

Typically, you can set your watch to the fact that unemployment goes up in January. It's pretty much unheard of for jobs to be created in the first month of the year, as temporary help for the holidays is cut loose, not to mention consumer spending takes a nose dive from people recovering from the holidays. The fact that the economy has actually shown a net gain in jobs in January is an extremely encouraging sign.
It's absolutely astonishing how many of you are see easily fooled by bullshit. There is nothing good coming out of these unemployment numbers today. It's all smoke and mirrors. The fact is we have a record low of people participating in the work force now and they are no longer being counted, hence the lower numbers.

In all seriousness - a genuine question...
Why do you guys still insist on using this number? (now 8.3%)
Even MSNBC acknowledged last month that the unemployment number is misleading at best, as it does not address the record number of employable people dropping out of the market - as well as removes the context that underemployment is a more serious problem than unemployment.

They use the number because it is easier than facing the reality that we have a stagnant economy going nowhere. It makes there candidate look like he is actually doing something to help the situation, even though he is the reason why we have the stagnation.
The whole thing really is silly because the people who are underemployed or stopped looking altogether will still be voting on Election Day and they aren't going to be fooled by these doctored, artificially low unemployment numbers.
