If you have a job

[kaz]

The work force, for those who want to work, is very high now. Obama's economic strategies have evidently worked well.

So people who have given up in frustration now can be counted as not wanting a job?

Huh, they don't mention that January 2015 had the record high Labor force level and we currently have more people employed than ever before. Or more importantly...that the number of people who don't want a job is at its highest.

Say what?!?!?!!?!

LFPR FALLS TO LOWEST LEVEL SINCE 1978 - Business Insider

And? The LFPR is Employed plus Unemployed divided by the adult civilian non-institutional population. Employed is the highest ever, unemployed is not, the population is highest ever.

Look: Last year in March, there were 247,085,000 people in the population. There were 145,301,000 employed and 10,387,000 unemployed for a Labor Force of 155,688,000
The LFPR then was 155,688,000/247,085,000 = 63.0%

This March, the population was 250,080,000 which is higher. Employment was 148,331,000, which is also higher. Unemployed was lower at 8,575,000 but labor force was higher at 156,906,000. But LFPR then was 156,906,000/250,080,000 = 62.7%. Levels are higher, perscentage is lower.

You're obviously clueless, a democrat I presume?

Is the employment level at its highest level or not? Is the Labor Force Level near its highest or not? And politics doesn't affect whether or not something is true.

You have over 90 million out of the workforce....now do the math. You've swallowed the Kool Aid

And about 197 million in the labor force. The population is bigger...so both numbers are bigger.

If someone hasn't done anything at all in 4 weeks to get a job...not one application, not sending out one resume, not even asking a single friend if they know of any jobs, does that person really want a job?

but beyond that....there are approximately 86.8 million people who do not want a job. There are about 738,000 who "gave up" sometime in the last year and are not now working or looking but could be.

Those who have given up are counted, and that number has declined in the past 12 months.

Sorry. I know this news will upset you.

You're giving me a headache. Do yourself a favor and actually do some research on the topic, listening to and spewing the talking points only gives people a headache

Capitalism baby, and retired people.

So it will help if we deport all those young illegals?

Only a retard thinks illegals steal jobs.

You need to make up your minds. Are they stealing jobs, or are they stealing welfare?

We had full employment in 2007, with just as many illegals as we have now. Then something really bad happened from 2007 to 2009 that caused all this unemployment. Maybe you heard about it. It was in all the papers.

Hint: It had nothing to do with Mexicans.

Yo jerk off...if the 20 million illegals were not here, who would do the jobs they are doing now? You have one week to come up with the answer.

Ummmm, I worked professionally with these numbers for over a decade. I assure you I know far more about how they are constructed and what they mean than you ever will.

But go ahead, try an actual argument.....The OP is claiming that the LEVEL of not in the labor force is bad and that it is significant that it is at an "all time high." The Employment level is also at an all time high.

So....is the level important or not?

No one, in many cases, since Americans won't do their kind of work. Too hard and doesn't pay well enough.

I'm a lot smarter than you, so I don't need a week, but thanks.

If the 20 million weren't here, a great many of those jobs would be unfilled. An American worker is not going to leave his suburban house, jump into his commuter car, and drive a hundred miles to pick strawberries for a few weeks, and then travel another hundred miles to pick lettuce, and then drive a few hundred miles to pick asparagus.

It's call migrant work for a reason, and every prosperous nation has a large immigrant labor force.

Our problem is that we have not matched the immigrant labor demand with a properly balanced immigrant labor supply.

If a farmer needs 50 laborers and only 20 legal ones are available and willing, then he is going to have no choice but to hire some illegal labor. You idiots who want to punish that farmer for hiring illegals are making him pay the price for a completely dysfunctional government quota program.

Every time there has been an illegal labor crackdown in the farming industry, crops rot on the branch and in the soil. Americans are not rushing to fill the void, even when wages are increased.

Sorry, but it wasn't Mexicans who threw all those people out of work in the 2007-2009 crash. Only a retard would willfully choose to ignore that reality and focus way, way, way, way out of proportion on Mexicans.

Do illegal Mexicans displace some American laborers? Sure, in the construction industry they displace low skilled blacks.

But if you want to focus on the vast majority of JOBS, which is what this topic is about, then you are a bigoted retard if your first complaint is about Mexicans.

Here is a graph from the officialist of official sites -- The US goobermint itself....

Bureau of Labor Statistics Data

(Seas) Employment-Population Ratio
Labor force status: Employment-population ratio
Type of data: Percent or rate
Age: 16 years and over

Funny how that graph puts the lie to everything scum of the earth dimocrap filth are saying, huh?

As soon as the Lying ********** in Chief took office, the graph heads for the cellar?

All of the sudden, people got old overnight? They just figured out they were retirement age?

Coincidence? Explain that Herr von Hayek.

One more while I'm at it --

Here's a graph that shows that same statistic but over a longer period of time.....

Employment-to-population ratio - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

Funny how that one just seemed to fall off a cliff, too......

dimocraps are lying scum

period

It is amusing that the same people whining about Mexicans taking low skilled jobs have no pity for the low skilled burger flipper who wants a higher minimum wage. "YA SHOUDLA GOTS A EDUCASHIN!"

Positively schizophrenic.
