When millions upon millions of people drop out of the labor force and not actively seeking employment, they are no longer counted in unemployment statistics. Thus the unemployment rate goes down. Who are you trying to fool, Comrade? Only your fellow comrades?
Real unemployment rate is 12.15% or more!! And 30% part time!!! =pathetic!!!
I think fearful is a better word that describes Republicans. If unemployment get's in the 5% range, they lose their biggest weapon against the Democrats. Going from 10% to nearly 5% unemployment is going to be hard to fight.Taking into account that Bush Jr left office January 20, 2009 & that the Obama Administrations cabinet was finalized & approved by Congress in February 2009 at which time the unemployment rate was 8.3%.
By my calc with todays July 2014 news of 6.1% unemployment rate means a drop of 2.2% in unemployment & dropping fast.

If the Unemployment rate were REALLY dropping then we'd a corresponding drop in the Welfare Rolls.
How's that going?
YOU believing Government lies enrages NO ONE!

The unemployment numbers have always been mis-leading.
Take the number of people in the workforce, and the number of people currently drawing unemployment, but leave out people whose unemployment benefits have run out, and those who have not been employed long enough to file for unemployment benefits and lets get us a number here..

Idiot.
Few unemployed are on welfare.
Even if you call unemployment insurance benefits "welfare," most unemployed do not receive unemployment insurance benefits.Never mind, I found one

Scott Brown: Unemployment benefits are welfare that should be phased out slowly
Former Massachusetts Sen. Scott (R) said on Sunday that he supported slowing phasing out long-term unemployment benefits because people needed welfare and the program should not be halted abruptly.
During a panel segment on Fox News, Senior Political Analyst Brit Hume opined that he had a sense that people who were receiving long-term unemployment benefits had them for a long time and the program was supposed to be a temporary measure.
Hume admitted that Democrats might see some political benefit if Republicans were portrayed as hard-hearted for refusing to renew benefits for the long-term unemployed earlier this month.

Thomas Perez On Lawmakers Who Dis The Jobless: 'I Wanna Punch 'Em'

THOMAS PEREZ
WASHINGTON -- When members of Congress suggest unemployed Americans aren't trying hard enough to get jobs, U.S. Labor Secretary Thomas Perez gets mad.
"When I hear people on Capitol Hill say the long-term unemployed are unemployed by choice, I wanna punch 'em," Perez said Tuesday during a meeting with reporters.
Perez paused and smiled. The reporters laughed. Perez said he felt strongly about the hardship of unemployment because as a youngster in Buffalo, New York, he'd witnessed his surrogate father struggle after a layoff -- and because of his conversations with unemployed people today.
"The thing they say that angers them as much as anything is when politicians suggest they're unemployed by choice, they're just sitting at home eating bonbons," Perez said. (He didn't cite a specific example of a politician alleging bonbon consumption by unemployed people.)
Perez has previously waded into the Capitol Hill policy debate on joblessness, repeatedly calling on Congress to revive extended unemployment insurance for the long-term jobless after lawmakers let the benefits expire last December. Republicans have tended to argue unemployment insurance doesn't do enough to create jobs, not that it actually stops people from taking them.

If things aren't moved in a positive way democrats will just lie about it and no one would know the difference.
