More economic good news, unemployment rate drops to 8.6%

[The T]

When all of those that have stopped looking are re-employed? I'll rejoice...until then? Enough of the manipulation by this government. It's disingenuous as Hell.

Math and logic was never your strong suit, Frankie.

Blind partisanship is your strong suit.

Speaking of stupid, read what I wrote and what I was responding to. You'll notice that, despite your inability to comprehend what I wrote, we agree

You just said it leaves 8 without a job. Now you're saying it leaves 11 without a job?

Apparently you are unable to post simple comprehensible English sentences.

No, moron, she said "to simpletons who doesn't understand" - -it leaves 8. Read it again and wash that egg off of your face.

Wrong, turd. He/she/it said

"No, it doesn't [leave 11]. To simpletons who don't understand the BLS methodology or the datasets they produce, it leaves 8 without a job."​

nothing to see here.

The real jobs haven't changed except maybe went down.
Manufacturing employment changed little over the month and has remained essentially
unchanged since July. In November, fabricated metal products added 8,000 jobs, while
electronic instruments lost 2,000 jobs.

Construction employment showed little movement in November. Employment in the
industry has shown little change, on net, since early 2010.


Another thing that is keeping more people working that obama has nothing to do with

The average workweek for all employees on private nonfarm payrolls was unchanged at
34.3 hours in November. The manufacturing workweek was down by 0.2 hour to 40.3
hours, offsetting a 0.2 hour gain in the previous month. Factory overtime remained
at 3.2 hours in November. The average workweek for production and nonsupervisory
employees on private nonfarm payrolls edged down by 0.1 hour to 33.6 hours. (See
tables B-2 and B-7.)

Employment Situation Summary
Cut hours back from 40 to 34 hgours. So you defenders of obama have nothing to brag about.

He tried. Chris Dodd and Barney Frank blocked him

WARNING!!!!

Anyone who claims these unemployment figures are false is a counter-revolutionary and enemy of the people; i.e., a domestic terrorist.

As was announced earlier this week by Dear Leader, the Regime has the right to exercise executive power and assassinate any terrorist - citizen or not, or US soil or not - without trial, indictment or formal charges.

If you are riding at the front of a train that is travelling 100 mph and you shoot a bullet that normally travels 100mph in the same direction that the train is moving, how fast will the bullet travel?

100 mph, what the ****'s the point?

Wrong.

I think the answer is how FAR will it travel...

Alright. If you insist we created it that's alright. Regardless who created it, we will be the one who fixes it.

Unfortunately, things are going to get alot worse before they get better.

100 MPH.

Unless some idiot gets in the way.

It's a bogus question...the bullet will eventually run out of inertia by the laws of physics and drop to the ground...

Unemployment rate falls to 8.6% in November


(AP) Washington (AP) —The unemployment rate fell last month to its lowest level in more than two and a half years, as employers stepped up hiring in response to the slowly improving economy.

The Labor Department says the unemployment rate dropped sharply to 8.6% last month, from 9% in October. The rate hasn't been that low since March 2009, during the depths of the recession.
Employers added 120,000 jobs last month. And the previous two months were revised up to show that 72,000 more jobs added — the fourth straight month the government revised prior months higher.
Still, one reason the unemployment rate fell so much was because roughly 315,000 people gave up looking for work and were no longer counted as unemployed.

You mean retailers hire people for the Christmas season???

Lets see where it's at February 1st...

There is a term called "seasonal jobs."

 

[LoneLaugher]

It is most certainly not a bogus question.

How about if you go to the back of the train and shoot in the opposite direction?





BTW........my point is that these unemployment numbers are not always easy to figure out......but the same formula is used every time they are annoinced. So....the ******* number went down, assholes. The unemployment rate is 8.6%.......down from 9%. This is moving in the right direction.

Precisely.

Regime Manipulates Numbers to Get Unemployment Headline Under 9%

Well, Happy Holidays. They don't do Merry Christmas in the media. But we're back, it's done, they got the headline: "Unemployment, 8.6%!" Now, the truth of the matter is -- and Bloomberg News even points out that the only way -- it's a corrupt number. It is a corrupt number. Folks, the number of people who have quit looking for work in the last few weeks is 315,000. Those are the people have thrown up their hands after 99 weeks or more of being unemployed; and they've said, "I'm quitting. I'm not looking." So they're not counted. Therefore, the universe of jobs available in the country is down by 315,000. That is the labor force participation rate. The labor force participation rate is a meager 64%. It fell to 64% from 64.2%. So the 0.2% drop equals 315,000 people leaving the workforce.

That means there are 315,000 fewer jobs to have, so the universe of jobs has been steadily shrinking. What was the number of jobs created? It's 120,000 jobs. It's a 120, 126,000, whatever. That's in the ballpark. That number of jobs created can lower unemployment rate 0.4%, almost one half of a percent? Creating 120,000 new jobs can do that? That alone tells us how small the labor force participation rate is. That tells us how small the universe of available jobs in the country is, when creating 120,000 -- and we still have, don't forget, over 400,000 applications for

unemployment compensation reported yesterday. So just 120,000 new jobs can lower the unemployment rate almost a half a point. That's not possible without that 315,000 figure, the 315,000 people who have just walked away.

Think the Statists are upset now? The austerity measures that have to happen are far worse than what we are going through now...meaning the moochers are gonna have to go out and get a job.
