69.3% UE is not full employment and is worse than the Right's claim of 42.9% UE under Obama.
June 30, 2015
David Stockman has run a bunch of numbers and has been able to put all of this in context and has concluded that the actual unemployment rate in the United States of America is not 5.5%, and it's not 12.5% or 13%. It is 42.9%.
I work with people who are full time employees and just about all of us have second jobs.....we haven't seen a raise in years, despite the success of our company. Trump needs to get out among real people and give up the staged rallies...he's see that this trickle down shit is for show only!!
You have received a raise. Thanks to Trump, you're gonna be bringing home more of your paycheck. And many prominent businesses have recently announced large bonuses for their employees. So maybe it's just time for you to find a better job. They're out there. Go for it.
I make 15.75 an hour...sitting at a desk processing mortgages and have done so for the last 20 years I haven't had a raise is almost 5 years, a cost of living adjustment, yes, but no raise...most jobs out here and this is fact...are factory jobs issued via temp services..that is fact!!
This is the question. It appears that demand for labor is .. slowly .... causing overall wages to rise, and almost equal to rising GNP. But of course the rise in wages is not uniform for all workers, and workers in jobs that don't see a lot of job growth don't benefit from a labor market ... even it it's at 3.8 unemployment.
That's not a partisan post. It was much the same under Obama, although there is more demand for labor now.
