Record 93,626,000 Americans not in labor force

And we should not do business with companies that manufacture in third world nations without slapping a tariff on them because it is not fair to the American workers despite what the American consumers want it's not good for any of us. Sorry consumers and corporations but workers are more important in my opinion in this situation. If you're going to do free trade do it with some trees like Australia or Canada. Or if they have something of value to trade back. But we don't want to pay Indian workers in India four dollars an hour to avoid paying American worker 10

only those with an IQ of 25 or under, those in a coma and cockroaches actually believe we have 5.4 unemployment.

Yeah, it's even lower than that.

but when we had a real unemployment level of 5.4 per cent under Bush, Nancy Pelosi crapped her pants on live TV as she was bitchin about it!

Meanwhile by the time George W Bush was leaving office 700,000 jobs a month we're leaving the country are you Republicans so goddamn stupid you can ignore this?

WTF?? Are you saying 5.4% unemployment under Bush was real but not real under Obama??

I thought Republicans believed anybody in America could go find a job if they wanted to. Or anybody not working should just go to school and better themselves. Or start their own business. Are you now blamig someone other than the people who are unemployed? Why is your argument different now that a Republican isn't the president?

 

[sealybobo]

Republicans argue one way when their president is in office and a completely different way when he's not. Us Democrats were pointing out the real unemployment numbers to Republicans when Bush was in office and they ignored this fact but now they want to use it to their advantage? This is why I find them to be disingenuous and intellectually dishonest

It's even far less than that. An estimated $2 trillion is earned by folks in a shadow economy. Those are folks not reporting their income who appear in BLS statistics as not in the labor force among the 93 million. With the average income being around $50K/annual, that translates into an estimated 40 million of the 93 million who are not in the labor force are actually employed.

oh im sure there are millions who are making money under the table, there is plenty of "Off The Books" employment out there, I wouldnt even be surprised if prostitution was one of them. Construction has to be one of them, contractors cant keep up with the demand in most red states.

And you never answered my question .... were you saying the unemployment rate of 5.4% was real under Bush but not real under Obama?

 

[sealybobo]

Of course, of that 93 million, only 6 million want a job. The rest are housewives, students, disabled and retirees.
The GOP house added all that debt.
Thanks Republicans.

That's a big old heaping pile of Sophistry, bub.

As one of your Bright Lights of the Left has claimed: Unemployment Insurance is an economic stimulus. Obamanomics pays people to not work; and the ACA further discourages full time employment via penalties to employers and the handling of subsidies.

Thanks Obama!

And that is a big old steaming pile of horse shit!

Yes, it is horse shit. Obamanomics and the ACA are steaming turds.

Shrub totally destroyed both the U.S. economy AND the GLOBAL economy! No other president in history has done that. When Shrub left office this country was losing a million jobs per month. And moron cons whine because Obama has not only cut unemployment in half, and brought economy back from oblivion, but also ended Shrub's stupid wars, and given American's healthcare they can afford. The steaming pile of horseshit is the GOP, AND THE MAJORITY OF THIS COUNTRY KNOWS IT! Cons have gone down to defeat on healthcare, equal rights, the confederate flag, voter I.D.'s, and Trump bigotry just this past week. You got nothin!!!!!

you sure that wasnt Bill Clinton and moron liberals in congress that caused the destruction of the economies?
as far as the colored boy pretending to be President, If the numbers are going up, they are only doing so after the republicans whooped liberal ass and took back congress. Ghetto economics that the boy wants will never work.

Thank you. And you other Republicans who are trying to say you're not racist here's your boy right here

I seem to remember George Bush having to send us $300-$700 each just to keep himself out of a recession a couple times. Oh but if you were a millionaire you got a couple hundred thousand dollars in stimulus money. How did that work out for us? How did that work out for the debt?

Republicans liked using 911 as a reason for the recession but what hurt us more than 9 11 was Bush's policies he implemented after 9/11. 911 was a devastating one day event that did hurt our economy for a year George Bush policies hurt us for 10 years and counting.

And we cant even fix all of his mistakes because of GOP obstruction

under Bush we maintained a pretty healthy unemployment level, all hell broke loose after 9/11, but as we were going into 2002/2003 things gradaully did turn around and heading into 2004 jobs seem plentiful. i was in hospitality and it seemed like every restaurant/hotel/country club was never fully staffed, especially in parts of Florida. and that was a regular story in the news. Employers could never get enough help. then came Barney Frank, making banks give loans to people who couldnt afford them, thats when it all crashed. Unemployment level was always around 5.0-5.5 during the peak years.

Hospitality is the worst industry to judge an economy on. How much do the waitresses the maids front desk housekeeping make? Manufacturing is the most important and Republicans sent all those jobs overseas
