[The T]

where is Chris to tell us all how wonderful this report is, and how well the economy is now doing???

Perhaps they finally caught up with him and sent him back to his rubber room.

Give chrissy time? he'll be here later in the day with some idiotic profundity.

Note to Romney - HAMMER TIME !!!!!

85,000 went on disability!

3.1 Million Workers Join Disability Ranks Vs. 2.6 Million That Got Jobs In Obama Recovery - Investors.com

More workers joined the federal government's disability program in June than got new jobs, according to two new government reports, a clear indicator of how bleak the nation's jobs picture is after three full years of economic recovery.

The economy created just 80,000 jobs in June, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday. But that same month, 85,000 workers left the workforce entirely to enroll in the Social Security Disability Insurance program, according to the Social Security Administration.

The disability ranks have outpaced job growth throughout President Obama's economic recovery. While the economy has created 2.6 million jobs since June 2009, fully 3.1 million workers signed up for disability benefits.

 

[Avorysuds]

As soon as Romney is elected job creation will skyrocket! 400,000 - 500,000 a month starting in December 2012 right?

Suckers!

Obama's job report sucks ass.

Deal with the reality of that before worrying about what President-Elect Romney is going to do. It's going to take him 8 years to clean up Obama's miserable failures.

Seriously, is that a real post dude?

Ron Paul would have cleaned up Obama's mess in about 2... And I'm allowed to think about him and his policies, not just vote for "anyone but Obama."

Here comes the Rah Rah Rah... =D

Really. Cuz I'm not seeing it. He would have had the same starting team Obama had (and squandered), who likely would have pulled the same "party of 'no' shit" that the Rethugs have been practicing for several years now.

the happy part was the haircut


But the Good news
Obama Still flies his personal barber from Chicago to Washington every two weeks

No one likes a bad hair day, but who's willing to spend tens of thousands of dollars to avoid ever having one? According to one new report, that’s the kind of pampering fit only for a king — or perhaps the president of the United States of America. German Public Radio is reporting that US President Barack Obama is so insistent on looking good that he flies his hometown barber, a Chicago, Illinois hairstylist identified only as Zariff, from the Windy City down to the White House every 10 to 14 days. The network says that Zariff has been Obama’s go-to hairstylist going back nearly two decades, dating to even before the current commander-in-chief was an Illinois State Senator.

I'd like to see the historical trend on that though......

anyway, have jobs all of a sudden become more dangerous and injuring more workers?

 

[Neotrotsky]

No just harder to get due to the
anti-business/ anti investment environment Papa Obama has created
Unless one counts crony capitalism created jobs like the ones in (were) Solyndra


State systems are very good at moving people off some type of state dole
to the federal dole -

 

[clevergirl]

Never has been. Government has expanded.

No. It hasn't.

Under Obama, a Record Decline in Government Jobs - NYTimes.com

government employment is down 2.6 percent over the last three years, compared to a decline of 2.2 percent in the early Reagan years. That is a record.

Private Sector Is Not Fine Public Sector Is Still Fat​

So federal government has managed to grow by a quarter million jobs during the worst recession of our life time...

State government has lost 64k

Local governments have lost 426k

The private sector has lost more than 4.6 million jobs


But the private sector are doing fine... Out of touch hardly describes the ineptitude and arrogance of this president.

I'd be interested in knowing how many of those are mental disabilty...

 

[Neotrotsky]

American has about 20% with mental illness

If we assume that distribution holds the same
but then again maybe it is higher/less for this particular population

Side note
20% also identify with being liberal in the US

just saying

 

[Trajan]

The public sector only lost 4,000 jobs, so the problem is not a lack of government jobs,
contra Papa Obama.



Truth is hard for the Left

In fact, it is their worst enemy

Private Jobs Down 4.6 Million From January 2008; Federal Jobs Up 11.4%
By Ed Carson
Fri., June 08, 2012 8:18 PM ET

Private-sector jobs are still down by 4.6 million, or 4%, from January 2008, when overall employment peaked. Meanwhile government jobs are down just 407,000, or 1.8%. Federal employment actually is 225,000 jobs above its January 2008 level, an 11.4% increase. That’s right, up 11.4%.

Private Jobs Down 4.6 Million From January 2008; Federal Jobs Up 11.4%



Full Disclosure; I am one of those Federal hires......

 

[pinqy]

What makes this sick is these are the adjusted numbers.....This is the best the government can do to make it look good.....Whats the true unemployment numbers????Something like 15%?

The Unadjusted rate is 8.4%, up from 7.9% in May. Seasonal Adjustment, accounting for usual changes this time of year made it 8.2%, same as preious month.

Note that in May, the adjustment made the UE rate HIGHER.

I have no idea what you would consider "true" unemployment.

How about the ones that count the people not looking for a job OR no longer able to collect unemployment? You add those in for the TRUE number.

Well, those not collecting Unemployment are already included in the UE rate....It has NEVER EVER been based on people collecting benefits.

As for people not trying to get a job....why do you think they should be classified as unemployed? Example: Person A is in high school, looked for a summer job last year, couldn't find one, stopped looking when school started again because didn't want a job while being a full time student. Graduates from high school, lives with parents, could now take a job but hasn't done anything about getting one. Unemployed or Not in the Labor Force?
Person B is a married woman, looking for a part time job, gets pregnant, so stops looking to have the baby, has the baby, could take a job now, but hasn't started looking for one yet. Unemployed or Not in the labor force?

Not having a job does not mean you're unemployed...there are retirees, stay home spouses, full time students, pot-heads living in their mother's basement, etc.

NOTE: U.S. employers added only 80,000 jobs in June, a third straight month of weak hiring that shows the economy is still struggling three years after the recession ended.

The unemployment rate was unchanged at 8.2 percent, the Labor Department said Friday.

The economy added an average of just 75,000 jobs a month in the April-June quarter — one-third of the pace in the first quarter.

For the first six months of 2012, employers added an average of 150,000 jobs a month. That's fewer than the 161,000 average for the first half of 2011.

THE LOST JOBS

Five million jobs.

That's how many the economy has still failed to recover since the Great Recession officially ended three years ago.

The nation lost nearly 8.8 million jobs between January 2008 and February 2010. Since then, it's regained more than 3.8 million — less than 44 percent.

The economy has added just 137,000 jobs a month since employment hit bottom. At that pace, it would take three more years for employment to return to where it was in January 2008.

I am still trying to get an answer as to why retirees are used as an excuse as to the the low LFPR....*shrugs*
