US lost 304,000 'jobs' over last two months (Household Survey)

[McRocket]

No one else seems to want to mention it - so I will.

The Household Survey - which is the ONLY survey used to determine the official unemployment rate - says that 304,000 fewer Americans were employed in April vs. February, 2019.

103,000 Americans 'lost' their jobs in April and 201,000 Americans 'lost' their jobs in March.

All of your posts seem to be nothing but gloom and doom about the U.S. economy.

Have you ever considered posting the positive aspects of our current economy?

Or do you hate Pres.Trump soo much that you are unable to do that?? ...

No, they did not "lose" their jobs, they left there jobs on finding better ones. Pretty puny try Mac.

Household Survey Data

The unemployment rate declined by 0.2 percentage point to 3.6 percent in
April, the lowest rate since December 1969. Over the month, the number
of unemployed persons decreased by 387,000 to 5.8 million. (See table
A-1.)

Well Bub...you clearly do not have a clue what you are talking about on this (if you are trying to use the stats you posted as 'good things' for the economy).

First - use your head. How can less people in the labor force AND less people employed be a good thing when the population is growing? Duh.

Second - the BLS does not count Americans that stop looking for work as part of the labor force. So when an unemployed person in America stops looking for work...he/she is instantly no longer unemployed...even though they have no job and probably still want one. These are called Discouraged Workers.

'Discouraged workers (Current Population Survey)
Persons not in the labor force who want and are available for a job and who have looked for work sometime in the past 12 months (or since the end of their last job if they held one within the past 12 months), but who are not currently looking because they believe there are no jobs available or there are none for which they would qualify.'

Glossary : U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics

So, what has obviously happened is TONS of Americans have given up looking for work. That is why the number of unemployed has dropped along with the labor force AND the number of employed.

Got it now, Bub (I doubt it)?

You sad little math challenged illiterate.

See if you can follow this:

1. The Civilian Labor Force decreases by 714K.
2. The Labor Force Participation Rate is approx. 60%
3. The expected drop in Employed people would therefore be 420K+
4. It is only 304K based on SEASONALLY ADJUSTED DATA.

It's not the doom and gloom you are trying to spin, sad little hack.

3. The expected drop in Employed people would therefore be 420K+'

The Labor Force Participation Rate (LFPR) is a percent of the civilian noninstitutional population. The LFPR has NOTHING to do with the number of employed.

It's not 62.8% of the of the civilian labor force decrease. It's 62.8% of the civilian noninstitutional population. Jeez.

Do the math...62.8% of 258,693,000 is 162,459,204...which is almost exactly what the total number of the civilian labor force (162,470,000).

Here, try to answer this question: If the Civilian Labor Force declines by 714K, how much of a decline should we expect to see in the number of Employed people when the Labor Force Participation rate is basically flat?
