Sessions: 'For Every One Job Added, Nearly 5 People Left the Workforce' | The Weekly Standard

"Today’s jobs report underscores a deeper problem facing our economy: a large and growing block of people who are chronically jobless and completely outside the workforce. In December, the economy added only 74,000 jobs – not nearly enough to keep up with population growth –and 347,000 left the workforce. That means for every one job added, nearly 5 people left the workforce entirely. There are now nearly 92 million Americans outside the workforce, resulting in the lowest participation rate in 36 years. The President’s immigration plan will only make things dramatically worse – and no amount of ‘promise zones’ will be a sufficient remedy for the millions of displaced workers.​

How people still go about praising Obama is mind blowing to me.

 

[The T]

Yeah the Economy is just ROARING BACK to life, isn't it?

 

[JakeStarkey]

How many retired?

How many were disabled?

How many died?

 

[HenryBHough]

How many quit paying jobs so they could collect goodies/bennies and devote full time to Obama's ongoing campaign?

 

[bripat9643]

How many retired?

How many were disabled?

How many died?

I knew we could count on you to defend Obama's sorry-assed record.

they're the dead-enders. Their the kind who were hanging out in the Fuhrer bunker at the end of WW II.

 

[HenryBHough]

Hey, Democrats gotta do what Democrats do. Like bats gotta fly and jellyfish gotta swim....

 

[Mr. H.]

One step forward and 5 steps back. It's a never-ending saga, this joke of an administration.

 

[HenryBHough]

Reminds one more of Freeman Gosden and Charles Correll rather than of Larry, Moe and Curly.

People can't search for jobs that don't exist. We lost several millions from the 0'8 crisis.

This is very depressing.

America is paying dearly for the voters' ignorance and Obama's arrogance.

Howsumever, what we've seen is but a small down-payment.

Even MSNBC can't find a way to spin the dismal job report.

What mumble jumble from a jumbled mind do you poop out your arse.

What happened to " yes we can ".

I believe it only reflects the number of people who are actively looking for work when they are surveyed. So if you are first asked a question like "Have you looked for work in the past month?" and then say No, you are not asked any more questions.

So it is not really an unemployment rate at all. Rather it is a rate of people, who have the good fortune to be optimistic that they will find work, not being able to find any at all. The U-6 rate that is published, but not publicized by anyone, has been hovering at around 13%. So half of the unemployed think they will find work and try within a 30 day period. The other half quite possibly have exhausted their options, or maybe are rethinking things, or re-training, and hoping something will come along later. Who knows. No one is bothering to ask these people any questions about themselves.

So we all remain in the dark. The Unemployment Rate is useless, and should not even be published. In fact, it probably shouldn't exist at all.
