4.6% unemployment rate

[Faun]

Nah about 40.6% of the country is unemployed.

Because the vast majority of them don't want jobs.

Thanks to socialism

 

[Faun]

Far more concerned about the record number of people out of the labor force, a problem that skyrocketed under Obama.

Why? It's a meaningless figure in terms of the health of the job market as it reflects demographics.

It was lower than it is now in the early 60's. It went up then because the baby boomer generation began turning 18 and entering the labor force. Now they're turning 62 and leaving the labor force.

Poor Trump: the Labor Force Participation rate keeps getting worse. It will be awful during his administration.

 

[Faun]

Yo Eddie...what is the labor force participation rate?

The percentage of people who want to work.

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".

 

[rightwinger]

Good to see the rate continue to drop

Employers added solid 178,000 jobs in Nov.

The labor market perked up modestly in November as employers added 178,000 jobs and the unemployment rate fell to a nine-year low, providing more evidence of a solid economy in the final payroll report before an expected Federal Reserve interest rate hike.

The unemployment rate, which is calculated from a different survey than the payroll total, fell from 4.9% to 4.6%, lowest since August 2007

Moron, the bad economy was due to toxic loans written years before Democrats took over in 2007. You should crawl out from under your rock more often to learn of these things.

Trump's Labor Force Participation rate for the future is going to be terrible: it will be pointed out every day.

Obamas record will make dump look like the sucker he is AND Obama achieved his with republicans pulling against him for 8 years Imagine if repubs didn't fillabuster all the reconstruction we sorely needed Guess the truth is they want dems to fail and they do all hey can to insure it AND THEN blame the dems

Anything but blame a Republican in the WH He didn't start a bs war? he didn't give bs tax cuts to the wealthy? ,he didn't give us the greatest recession of your lifetime ? I musta been dreaming

 

[Mac1958]

That 178K figure isn't great, but it's good.

Now what should happen is consolidation within the employed that leads to increased economic growth rates.

Fingers crossed.

Well, we all know those unemployment numbers are a farce. The real unemployment rate is closer to 15% with some 94M+ people out of work.

Of course this small uptick is because of new confidence in president elect Trump. It surely isn't from anything boi Barry did.

 

[waltky]

Does that include...

... the long-termed laid-off...

... who don't have the skills...

... and have given up on the job market...

... or the underemployed?

You think trump could equal or even come close to Obamas record on jobs?

Depends on whether you're talking quality or quantity.

Obama's job growth figures won't be matched because the rate was so bad when he took over that the economy was able to add a lot of jobs.

The weakness remains the quality and pay of the jobs. Can Trump improve that? Well, it can be improved, and Trump would get the credit.

I'd have to see that data once that happened to decide where the credit should actually go.
