Low unemployment with a historically low labor participation rate. Worst recovery from a recession since WWII. Yeah, something for you liberals to be proud of ...

4.6 huh ?

after Trump creates millions of jobs it should be down to 2.5 and equal the lowest rate in history ....

I can hardly wait ..

There's supposed to be a percent sign after the 4.6, you don't put a space after the "huh, " there should be a comma after "Trump creates millions of jobs" because it is an independent clause and you start sentences with a capital letter.

You're welcome

Forget that phony rose-colored-glasses U3 rate. The U6 rate is at 9.3%

Bullshit, U6 trends are consistent with U3 trends.

You need to learn to read a graph. Consistent but higher. That is the real unemployment that can't be hidden.

Obama has been a disaster for this country but Trump will fix that by lowering taxes and reducing regulations.

Obama could have done that to stimulate capitalism but the idiot was more interested in redistribution of income, wasn't he? You know, reparations.

More bullshit - U6 IS ALWAYS HIGHER THAN U3

At 9% U6 is historically low under-employment, if not full employment U3 shows.

"historically low under-employment"

For once you got something correct. We do have historically low under-employment.

It would be awesome if self-declared educated liberals understood the numbers to begin with.

What's so hard to understand?

We lost 800K jobs when Bush left office. We're now in our 72nd consecutive month (6 straight years) of job growth...

So obozo has done a great job, huh? Specifically what has he done, policy wise, for this blesses job growth?

I've been down this garden path with other loons ... it only leads to denying any of his policies helped.

Hahaha

It was only in year 2 of obozo's rein of terror that he tried to "pivot to jobs", remember? What has he done besides increase regulations and taxes? Two things that definitely don't lead to job growth.

WTF?? He started working on turning the economy around the day he came into office.

See, this is my point entirely when I said this debate only leads to rightwing loons denying his policies helped.

This is how rightwingnuts view history.... Obama will leave office with about 13 million jobs added during his presidency...

rightwingnuts: that's despite Obama and thanks to Republicans

Bush gained about 1 million...

rightwingnuts: that's the fault of Carter, Clinton, and minority party Demcorats who crashed the economy in 2008.

Clinton gained about 23 million jobs

rightwingnuts: That was despite Clinton and thanks to St. Reagan who's policies were so great, they carried Clinton through all the way to 2001.

Bush Sr gained about 3 million jobs (in 4 years)

rightwingnuts: St. Reagan's great policies were thwarted by congressional Democrats; otherwise, Reagan's great economy wouldn't have skipped over Bush.

Reagan gained about 16 million jobs

rightwingnuts: praise be upon him

Carter gained about 10 million jobs (in 4 years)

rightwingnuts: how dare you mention Carter and Reagan in the same post. Blasphemy!

here's yet ANOTHER idiot that is waiting for "trickle down" economics to pee on him.

GWB gave MASSIVE tax cuts (while engaging in 2 costly wars).....So, how was the economy under GWB's tax cuts????

Ahahaha its been a while since we had a BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!!!

UE is 4.6%

"In October (2016), the real unemployment rate (U-6) was 9.3 percent. That's double the widely-reported unemployment rate (U-3) of 4.6 percent."

Does the Government Lie About Unemployment?


IIRC, the U-3 only counts those individuals that are receiving unemployment benefits. Those that have exhausted their benefits and simply can't find work are not counted, nor are those that are woefully under-employed.

Holyfuckingshit!

Is there a conservative manual you morons all read from?

No, the U-3 is not based on unemployment benefits. It has absolutely nothing to do with unemployment benefits. Many folks who are not counted in the labor force have never even received unemployment benefits. Many have never even had a job. The vast majority of them don't even want a job.

You rightards are batshit insane.

Lemme guess .... you don't know the U-6 rate is a measurement of under-employment. Am I right?

Bureau of Labor Statistics Data

The job participation rate in this country is the lowest in many decades… Shit for brains

Well, fucked up liars, you well know you are lying through your teeth. You include retired seniors, students as young as 16, and stay at home mothers, and those physically or mentally unable to work. The unemployment rate is 4.6%, using exactly the same methods used when Bush was in office.

And the market is around 19,000, after a low of 6500 created the last time the GOP had it's way with the economy. I am very sure that Trump can triple the former number and reduce the latter number to a fourth of it's present value. Bet he does it by the end of 2019.

1. Barry was handed a 'bad economy' by his fellow Democrats who held a near super majority control of all of Congress the last 2 years of Bush's administration - controlling Congress, the BUDGET, SPENDING, & thus the ECONOMY.

In those last 2 years liberals added $1.5 trillion in new debt while presiding over their declining economy.

In Bush's 1st 6 years, with a GOP Congress - during 9/11/01, the economic aftermath, & 2 wars - Bush only added $2.5 trillion, $1 trillion more that the liberals added in only 2 years.

Onama may have inherited a 'bad economy', but it was his fellow Democrats who gave it to him.

2. 4.6 unemployment rate....sounds great, especially when you don't count the 94 million Americans not wrking /in the work force and NOT all being to old to work.

Barry doctors his unemployment numbers as much as he doctored his Stimulus bill's "# of jobs created / saved".

1. Actually Bush added $3.2 trillion in debt his first 6 years, but who cares about actual numbers.
But using your moronic "logic" the GOP took over the House, where all spending is controlled according to the Right, and the GOP National Debt soared by $6 trillion.

2. The UE numbers are not doctored.

And what's the debt today?

$6 trillion more since the GOP took over the control of the purse strings.

How many times did O'Bama threaten to shut down the government if he didn't get his debt limit increase? How many times did he go on TV and tell us that the world would end if we did shut the government down, and he couldn't have HIS increase?

Oh Ye of selective memory. smh

 

[EverCurious]

Jumping the shark on both ends.

It is typical for employees to hire a glut of workers in November/December for help during the hectic Christmas season. I expect that a lot of these so called 'new jobs' will end in January. The best we can hope for is that some company's anticipate a pick up in consumer spending when Trump takes office and retain some of them.

Actually (speaking of selective memory) Obama should have allowed the automatic shutdown of government if the debt ceiling was not raised.....Just look at how well elected GOP'ers fared last time they shut down the government.

Republicans should actually THANK Obama for saving their asses.

Which then (the above) FULLY explains why during GWB's last months in office (Nov-Dec-Jan) there was a loss of almost 800,000 jobs per month.....Correct?
