So where did Obama come up with 6 million new jobs???

[thereisnospoon]

Obama in State of union said: "After years of grueling recession, our businesses have created over 6 million new jobs."

OBAMA where did you get 6 million new jobs when your own labor statistics still show 2+ million LESS employed then were employed in 2007?

There have NEVER BEEN AND NEW jobs created since 2006 when 1.5 million more people were working then the year before!

So where did he get 6 million new jobs???

So Obama is again shading or OVERREACHING OK lying!

Read a story today with a fact check rebuttal to Obama's claim. Fact checkers found 1.9 million jobs created. However, that is not taking into consideration the jobs that disappeared during the last 4 years.
With all the numbers in place and all jobs accounted for and also taking into consideration the number of people who are able and eligible to work, the result is a NET loss in jobs.
One more time. A NET LOSS.

 

[mudwhistle]

I'd like to know which pro-business program Obama started that created all of those jobs.

He's lumping the oil jobs created in N. Dakota, the jobs in Texas, and jobs in Wisconsin. How can he take credit for those?

He did hire more IRS agents and bureaucrats.

 

[thereisnospoon]

Non farm payroll jobs were at their lowest in February 2010 at 129,320,000 total and 106,850,000 private sector. As of January 2013, there are 134,825,000 total non-farm payroll jobs and 112,961,000 private sector jobs for a net change of +5.5 million total and +6.1 million private sector.

Note that Obama has always used the private sector jobs number and the reference point of February 2010. So while it is cherry picking, the number is legit and he has been consistant.

What he doesn't mention, of course, is that from Jan 2009 to Feb 2010, we lost 4.2 million private sector jobs so net gain for his time is only 1.9 million. And since we lost 4.6 million private sector jobs under Bush, we're still 2.7 million private sector jobs less than when the recession started.

Timeline: Recession starts Jan 2008: 115,668,000 private sector jobs
Obama takes office Jan 2009: 111,048,000 private sector jobs (- 4.62 million)
Job losses bottom out Feb 2010: 106,850,000 private sector jobs (-4.198 million since Obama took office, -8.8 million since recession started)
Currently, Jan 2013: 112,961,000 private sector jobs (+6.1 million since bottom, +1.9 million since Obama took office, -2.7 million since recession started).

Those are the facts, any particular interpretation and choice of numbers is open to spin by both parties.
-2,707

If this were true then the percentage of unemployed would be well below .9% and the U-^ percentage would not be over 14%.
In conclusion. All the stats and figures become irrelevant in the face of public perception. That perception is the economy still is stagnant and companies in general are not hiring in any great numbers. Home values remaining stagnant plus the seemingly excessive numbers of for sale signs in yards of homes for extended periods of time.

 

[thereisnospoon]

After years of grueling recession, our businesses have created over 6 million new jobs."


Context is everything


Key words.....AFTER the recession

Kinda like someone saying "I was 50000 in the black last year" while neglecting to say 'after I borrowed 100K from my mom and spent all of my 25K salary on a car, beer, a vacation, a wishing well, and the casino'

It is cherry picking and misleading

Context is everything

Obama did not say I created 6 million new jobs, he said business created new jobs

Business is not tied to any election cycle

Obama is correct in saying that business has created 6 million new jobs. It should also be noted that government has shed jobs during this period

Neither the public nor the private sector has created anywhere near that number of NEW jobs or brought back those laid off.

where did Obama get his numbers from, plucked them out of his ass, the same with $9 hour minimum wage..

The worst liar ever, he beats Bill Clinton for lying hands down, but his base doesn't care

That is funny coming from a republican, fuck they lie more than anyone

No, obamaturd and the left are the expert liars. Obamaturd opens mouth, nose grows another inch.

 

[Lovebears65]

Six million new jobs??

Same place as when he told us that you can keep your doctor and HC plan if you like it.

Must be The same place as when he told us that if couldn't fix the economy in his first term he didn't deserve a second.

Also must be The same place as when he told us no one making less $250K a year would see taxes go up.

Oh yeah and my all time fav one, He will have the most transparant administration in history. HOpe and change doncha know.

He's blowing smoke out his ass. As usual.

And when he said about all those shovel ready jobs. then later said I guess they were not so shovel ready

This is the tactic of the lie that the left employs. They simply keep repeating the lie over and over until it is accepted as fact - and the left falls for it, hook, line and sinker.

Obama has accomplished nothing. Business has been slowly "stumbling" along since this clown took office. He is the most "anti" business president in the history of our country. He despises success in the marketplace. His philosophy is simple. Government gives all. Typical communist.

What surprises me is how Obamas followers constantly say he's created 6 million jobs and yet the unemployment rate stays the same. So, if he's created 6 million jobs but the unemployment rate stays the same or even goes up, that means he's lost 6 million jobs or more.

Oh, but it's still Bush's fault. I keep forgetting about that.

Honestly, I don't (and haven't) understood the consternation about this guy. He TOLD us that he was going to take our country from us. "in 5 days, we will begin to fundamentally transform the United States of America". He TOLD us that he was going to destroy this country.

I fully realize that most Americans had no idea that this communist really meant it, but there you go. He is "fundamentally" transforming America from the greatest nation that has EVER existed on this planet to a quasi-communist third world mess.

We now have a new class of citizen in this country. The "permanently unemployed" - dependent on the government for their very lives. There are 3 times as many job seekers in this country as there are jobs. 47 MILLION people on the public dole with no end in sight. And what does Barry do to "help" the situation? He makes it HARDER on business to operate with more than 140,000 NEW regulations. And now he wants to INCREASE the minimum wage??? What a crock of crap.

At this point, I seriously doubt that there is much hope for America. It really is a damn shame when you think about it. America, who was founded on "Freedom" is sitting back on it's laurels watching as it's "Freedom" is being taken away by a small minority of disgruntled, loser leftists who, for some insane reason, have been given a much greater voice than they ever deserved. What a shame.

What surprises me is how Obamas followers constantly say he's created 6 million jobs and yet the unemployment rate stays the same. So, if he's created 6 million jobs but the unemployment rate stays the same or even goes up, that means he's lost 6 million jobs or more.

Wait, you think that the 6 million jobs in 3 years is the Gross number? Seriously? December alone had a gross number of 3.9 million jobs

Well, shoot, then all is fine, right? Unemployment is what? 4.5% right? Businesses are hiring at a high rate and the GDP is well over 7%, right?


Damn....who'd a thunk it!! 47 million Americans on the government dole MUST be a right wing lie, right?

How's that "Barry Kool-aid" tasting right about now???

Public sector jobs do not grow the economy. They might create peripheral spikes in the private sector that supports the jobs temporarily but ultimately public sector "shovel ready" jobs do nothing but shift confiscated money from one segment of society to another segment.
