Lowest rate since the start of the Great Bush Recession of 2008

 

[CrusaderFrank]

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

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

Lowest rate since the start of the Great Bush Recession of 2008

Even your dem candidates and moderators last night knew Clinton contributed to the crash just as much as Bush. That's pretty fuckin sad, dude..

 

[AvgGuyIA]

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

 

[JakeStarkey]

A lot of silly statements above.

There will be great oil washout, as Franks so hopes for.

If China implodes, we will survive. If we implode, the world goes into serious depression. There is no indication of that happening.

Likely because we need to add somewhere in the range of 180,000 just to keep up with population growth, retirements etc., so 150,000 is nothing to be happy about.

The libs need a labor economics class. Badly.

beat me to it. Think about how many immigrants we let in every month. How many cross the border every month.
Its sad to think that "thinking" is becoming a rarity..

151K was significantly below expectations.

We remain stuck in the mud, and of more concern, there is no economy on the planet that currently can lead us out of it.

[Mac1958]

Very nice to see the 0.5% wage growth, relatively speaking.

There are as many deflationary pressures as inflationary pressures, but that number has been growing.

Fingers crossed, but this will probably be a while.

And then we tank the industries that they participate in ...Construction, manufacturing and agriculture. So that we then get to pay for them via gov handouts and tax dollars.

That's the fundamental transformation Obama had in mind

 

[JakeStarkey]

We are not bad compared to previous years, but we have weaknesses that need to be corrected.
