More economic good news......unemployment rate drops to 4.9%

[pinqy]

Um, they're not classified as employed, but they aren't classified as UNEMPLOYED either!!

Right. People not trying to work have never been classified as unemployed. What do you think they tell us about the current job market?

If they're not working because they've given up its a whole lot different than if they're not working because they choose not to.

In what way? Not working because you can't find a job and not working because you're not trying to get one one are more vastly different.

The purpose of the UE rate is to see how much available labor is not being used. People not looking are not available.

The Discouraged and other Marginally attached are useful for looking at POTENTIAL labor, but that's different.

There are 5.6 million stay at home moms in the US
8 million unemployed

Republicans treat them the same

Actually 10.4 million stay at home moms as of 2012 and rising who the Right USED to support as TRADITIONAL American families, but they are now just useless eaters since they don't work. Traditional American family values is just a meaningless bullshit Right-wing talking point that none of them believe in, like smaller government, spending cuts and defending the Constitution. There are also 2 million stay at home dads.

Thanks

Throw in 40 million 65 and older and that 98 million not in the workforce does not look so bad

Think the 8 states that lost more jobs then they gained would agree?

How about the states with only .03 job growth? Or the ones under .50?

Guess what?

With 4.9% unemployment, some are going to be jobless
9 million less than when Obama took office though

You don't think it makes any difference if the person is trying to get a job or not?

What a stupid argument. No matter how strong the job market is, there are always going to be some who are jobless. According to your idiotic inference, since there are always folks who are jobless, even the best job market is bad news.
