US economy adds 146K jobs, rate falls to 7.7 pct. - Yahoo! Finance

US economy adds 146K jobs; jobless rate falls to 4-year low of 7.7 percent; Sandy minor factor

I love it! 146K is solid growth! First right from your own propaganda piece, 150K is need for minimum stability in the job market. 200K is solid growth son.

Right from your article. The unemployment rate didn't go down because of the low hiring rate; it went down because the labor department systematically removed 350K people from the labor force!

As the economy improves... you, will only become more negative. Gloom and doom much?

Guy, there is nothing more than I want than for the economy to improve. The economy improves then the incomes improve across the board! Yet this isn't improvement! You need to pull the wool from your eyes.

The economy is booming!! Let's raise taxes on everyone!!! WOOHOOO!!!!

Way to lower the bar.. we're now celebrating 7.7% unemployment? We spent $1,000,000,000,000 to settle on 7.7% unemployment.

Fucking hilarious.

This is just another hack troll thread.

(CNSNews.com) - Seventy-three percent of the new civilian jobs created in the United States over the last five months are in government, according to official data published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

In June, a total of 142,415,000 people were employed in the U.S, according to the BLS, including 19,938,000 who were employed by federal, state and local governments.

By November, according to data BLS released today, the total number of people employed had climbed to 143,262,000, an overall increase of 847,000 in the six months since June.

In the same five-month period since June, the number of people employed by government increased by 621,000 to 20,559,000. These 621,000 new government jobs created in the last five months equal 73.3 percent of the 847,000 new jobs created overall.

More phoney figures to try to support King Barry and his BS politics!

These figures do not include those who've stopped seeking unemployment benefits and given up reported job searches! Nor does this BS include those working at jobs paying far below their qualifications - and DOES include those working for temp agencies because employers don't want to be tied down with them as full or part time on THEIR payrolls!

And you stupid Lefties fall for this bovine excrement.

Well, climbing out of the Bushanomics Great Recession Trough, while perhaps not brag-worthy, is indeed the sort of good news that gets Righties' panties in a twist, which if nothing else, is pure fucking comedy.

SEC Votes for Final Rules Defining How Banks Can Be Securities Brokers
Eight Years After Passage of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, Key Provisions Will Now Be Implemented
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
2007-190
Washington, D.C., Sept. 19, 2007 - Ending eight years of stalled negotiations and impasse, the Commission today voted to adopt, jointly with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board), new rules that will finally implement the bank broker provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999. The Board will consider these final rules at its Sept. 24, 2007 meeting. The Commission and the Board consulted with and sought the concurrence of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and Office of Thrift Supervision.

please explain what the impact of this refusal to fully impliment the protections written into the GLBact produced

And what president signed the repeal of Glass-Steagall, furthermore lobbied for it's repeal? Now I expect that you will say Clinton was forced to lobby and sign it? What group after it's repeal blocked the formation of a regulatory body, and who ran that Senatorial Banking oversight and Congressional committee? Where was Senator Dodd, and Rep Frank? Once a hypocrite always a hypocrite. Bad decisions were made, both parties are at blame so enough with your lack of truth spin jobs! As your Messiah declares move Forward, take the leap off this "cliff", screw the working middle class, they voted against you and are now expendable.

I like how they're intentionally using the much less accurate household survey instead of the non-farm payroll survey which is the official employment numbers.

So now scoffing at people who tout bad news as good is rooting for the economy to fail.

Thanks for clarifying. It's so hard to keep up with the changing language of liberalism.

Adolescents need better explanations of events in terms they can understand! For example, in LA Unifed--the one teacher put all his semen into the cookies and gave them to the students at the elementary school. Now, mainly, LA Unified wants to settle all the lawsuits in the next month, or so.

Academics do make progress!

The Ivy League educated management teams at the major financial institutions had all screwed up. These are people who were also keeping the money during the foreclosure crisis--like so many others. These are people were also keeping the warbucks provided from Bush-Cheney "government" during most of the eight-year tenure--which was allowed to lapse.

Keeping this on a "high" note: States of Washington and Colorado care about people. . .like so many others. Green leaves are Golden, even outside of California.

Bush-Cheney-Paulson took what Green there was and did not try to repay Social Security. Bush-Cheney-Paulson took what Green there was and sent it off to the bankers, who suddenly had a whole lot less to manage--having managed that.

So the banker bonuses got paid. The Tea Party blamed Obama-Biden. The Republicans took Jesus Christ away from the United States, after winning in 2010. Obama-Biden had given away financial gifts, in the mean-time--which the Republicans were taking away(?), and wanted to take away! The Refundable Make Work Pay Income Tax Credit, modeled after Matthew 20:1-16, was taken away. A payroll tax holiday was declared instead, to further burden Social Security payments. . .probably with Ivy League trained accountants(?)!

All of this sort of thing costs money.

Even little kids are finding out about this: As long as they stay in school!

"Crow, James Crow: Shaken, Not Stirred!
(It is clearly not just Good Taste that matters at school! What also matters at school is clearly, also what really tastes good(?)! All of this is called, after all, "Homo Sapiens!" Can you just see: All the learning, here?!(?) All of this has be put into a context!)

pretending your party did not nearly distroy the entire world economy with their hisorically failed ideas doesnt make it unfact

Pretending that the Republicans nearly destroyed the economy doesn't make it so. Neither the Republicans NOR the Democrats destroyed the Economy, the Banksters did.

Hank Paulson held a gun to Congress' head in 2008: "There will be Martial Law if we dont get the Banker Bailouts". Bankers OWN and RUN the United States.

Pretending they don't doesn't make it so.

If RWers were bank robbers they would blame the tellers for their crimes.

That's a bit simplistic, not to mention scapegoating.

Vital elements of Glass-Steagall were eliminated, which was signed by Clinton, and urged by Greenspan, who was himself carrying the water for bankers, actually thinking they might better stablize the banking industry with a novel idea: credit default swaps. I think they actually thought it would help protect the finacial sector. But who knows? Anyway, to most folks in DC, it seemed a good idea at the time, and it passed ... near the end of Clinton's second term.

However, what happened was, banks went hog wild lending to anyone with a pulse, or any EU country that wanted it, as if it were Germany, or any city or county with debt they wanted to refinance, the unemployed wanting homes, you name it -- WITHOUT SUFFICIENT LIQUIDITY backing the risk (the thing in Glass-Steagall that needed eliminating for credit default swap to be legal).

The lending gone wild was not something predicted, but it became very apparent to regulators as being a huge problem, developing at an alarming rate. However, the fees earned from the not-actually-backed-risk loans, were making bankers rich. So instead of correcting the problem, Bush 43 and Paulson further gutted Glass-Steagall, and actively sidelined all regulators sounding any alarms, the most vocal of which, a woman in charge of regulating the Commodities Exchange, was taken down in Congressional hearings, with good old Al Greenspan brought back in to add weight to the forces trying to quiet her.

And whadaya know, what she warned of, came soon after, and we're still climbing out of the clusterfuck.
