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

[Faun]

Bogus. It just means more people quit looking for a job that isn't there anymore. Real unemployment is > 10%

Since you're making up numbers, why not go big? Real unemployment is over 90%!

Go big or go home.

 

[Faun]

Give it up, nobody is enthused with a 151K job gain, it's anemic

That keeps up with population growth.

 

[TNHarley]

Cue republican outrage over labor participation rate and U6

Unemployment falls to 4.9%, lowest in 8 years

Not at all! I am excited the illegals are finding jobs.

Damn right! According to our Attorney General, they have just as much right to American jobs as Americans! Gotta love it

It's such great economic news the markets are skyrocketing.......oh wait

Lol, liberals are so desperate to prop up a failed President that they resort to deception and spin.

People who give up looking for work drop off of the tally. Anyone who is looking for a job right now knows how much bull shit this is.

Obama has done nothing to boost job numbers. Even if it was true, it would be because even he can't keep a capitalist economy down for ever. If McCain had won, we would have recovered by 2010, and if Romney has won, we would have recovered by 2013. All Obama did was delay the recovery.

Liberals like the OP are pathetic.

No it doesn't you low info loon, it needs to be between 185-200K to keep up

 

[rightwinger]

By the end of the year the wipe out in oil will erase all of Obama's fake job growth. That AFTER the government and the Fed pumped $13 trillion dollars into the economy.

It's ends like the Walking Dead

Damn..paid $1.52 for my Obamagas

Obama will be the most popular president EVER

4 percent unemployment and $1.50 Obamagas

But I remember your whining about 10 percent unemployment and how it was the only economic factor that really mattered

Still double what it was when Obama took office

Does Obama kick ass or what?

Doubled Stock Market
4.9 percent unemployment

Why don't you whimper about labor participation rate now?

So which way did the employment to population ratio go: up, or down? If it went down, you're right, if it stayed the same or went up, you're wrong. Which is it?

 

[rightwinger]

Cue republican outrage over labor participation rate and U6

Unemployment falls to 4.9%, lowest in 8 years

And the U6 number, actual employment is what?

U6 is down five percent under Obama

Damn.....is that Obama good or what?

 

[Eaglewings]

The righties hate it when Obama looks good.

No recovery projected through 2018. In construction, manufacturing, mining. BTW

 

[BlueGin]

And btw libs. One person losing a good paying job... Then forced to take on three temp jobs ...does not equal... creation of 3 new jobs.

If the market is an indicator of job growth, which it's not, then what does that tell you about the Dow being well more than double of what it was after bottoming out from Bush's Great Recession?

Deception like .... we've now had 62 consecutive months of job growth? 71 months in the private sector?

Horrible news, I know.

 

[IsaacNewton]

Yes a good economy, another 'evil doer' in the conservative vocabulary. How happy they were when unemployment was at 10.1% thanks to the Bush Great Recession.

"We have to go after the evil doer, the economy, and put food on it's family".

Well no doubt, one of us is a "low info loon." With the the employment-population ratio increasing to 59.6%, the BLS says it's you.



I agree with the BLS.
