Last time it was this low was 1973

Right, until the democrat President Jimmy Carter took over in 1974, whereas the Republican President was in office in '73.

If a Republican was president, the unemployment rate would be around 9%; given how it almost always ends up higher than where they started.

And how many are of those illegals and still working minimum wage? Cheap labor. The Americans who can no longer qualify for unemployment benefits don't count in the statistics. The government leaves the homeless out as well as illegals. The government neglect to mention entrepreneurs working from home and retired people who have been released from their job position but still need extra income beyond SSI.

Where do the statistics come from?
Early each month, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) of the U.S. Department of Labor. This does not include the people who don't file unemployment at Dept of Labor

I guess your straw man fallacy is cause of neglect from education and research?

UNEMPLOYMENT RATES UNDER PRESIDENT CARTER
The first two-and-a-half years of Carter’s presidency saw slow by steady improvement in the unemployment rate, but the 1979 energy crisis, along with spiking oil prices that came with it, push unemployment back up to just under 8 percent.

UNEMPLOYMENT RATES UNDER PRESIDENT KENNEDY
JFK came to office in the midst of a recession. The economy did recover a little, but it was unconvincing and remained underperforming well into 1963. That was reflected in an unemployment rate that remained relatively high, hovering around 5.6 percent through much of 1962 and 1963.

Leave it to an idiot who thinks Carter was president in 1974 to point to Kennedy and Carter as examples of presidents who oversaw poor unemployment records.

:eusa_doh::eusa_doh::eusa_doh:

Respectively, a president who presided over a period where the unemployment rate dropped almost one percentage point and one who left the unemployment rate where he found it.

And while you point to the two Democrats with the worst records in terms of unemployment, you look past every single Republican president except one who did worse than the two worst Democrats since the BLS has been tracking unemployment...

Its funny how you attack typos like they were the KKK burning a cross at your front door. I hate to see how you treat your democrat presidents when they error? Is that all you have typo police, "nana nana nana" you made an error nana nana nana! I'm not the one running for POTUS. If a democrat POTUS leaves a mess, the GOP POTUS can't play the blame game. You librats are hypocrite shysters looking for excuses.

Who knows what you're whining about ... There was no typo I attacked.

I've got a cookie for the first Progressive on this board that can name the Obama policies that created jobs in America! He hasn't had a plan to fix the economy or create jobs since Larry Summers left YEARS AGO! Thanks Obama? That's farce of the highest order...

They like high unemployment. It keeps labor costs down.

Another major reason people can't find work is because companies don't hire the unemployed.

And consider 2% of the 4% might not be employable. Aka pieces of shit who can't keep a job.

Companies are saying they can't find good help. The economy is back. If a Republican were President you'd be saying we can't change course in the middle of a recovery. Obama rules!
 
Numbers are great. But, I deal in reality. If the economy was in good shape, it would not be the primary concern of many Americans going into the November elections, and Obama's ratings would be comparable to what Reagan had when he ran for his second term.

Why is it that unemployment is down but so many Americans feel like our economy is floundering?

Apparently, the unemployment rate doesn't tell the whole story.

Hell, if Obama were a Republican, the right would have him at legend status by now.

I got a job because of an Obama policy. It gave companies a tax write off if they hired the unemployed. No payroll tax. So this company hired 20 new salespeople.

Where's my cookie?
