Trump Winning: Number Of People Collecting Unemployment Reaches 17-Year Low...

[Mac1958]

He's trying. This is encouraging news.

It doesn't matter. There are many who want to see things go as badly as possible.

Our political environment is polluted by party-over-country partisans.

No, you clearly don't understand, Pingy. 94 million who can't take care of themselves have to be taken care of by somebody. You have not shown they can take care of themselves.
.

Well, I assume most of the 16-24 year olds not in the labor force are taken care of by their parents. Stay home spouses by their spouses. The retirees and disabled by pensions, retirement plans, social security, and families. Trust fund kids and independently wealthy are included as well.

My mother didn't work, except occasionally and just for extra cash. My dad is retired now. They're financially better off than my family. Do you think they are some bizarre outlier?

These people don't want to work, don't need to work, or are unable to work.

I'm far more concerned with the 7 million who are trying and failing to find work and those working but still need SNAP or WIC.

But if you still think all those people who don't want/need jobs are an issue, what is your solution? End social security, confiscate all retirement earning, require 16 year olds to live independently?

This is great news. I like when he focuses on domestic issues. I really hope he doesn't get bogged down in quagmire wars around the world. It'll take his focus away from domestic issues. But let's celebrate this good news.


The number of out-of-work people collecting unemployment checks fell to a 17-year low in April, underscoring the strongest U.S. labor market in years.

So-called continuing jobless claims fell by 49,000 to 1.98 million, marking just the second time they’ve fallen below 2 million during the current eight-year-old economic expansion. Continuing claims also dipped below the 2 million mark in March.

The last time state unemployment offices sent out fewer checks to jobless Americans was in April 2000, the government reported Thursday...

You don't realize that has absolutely nothing to do with Trump?

Why am I not surprised?

Trump says the numbers are fake. According to him, the unemployment rate is about 40%.

 

[Faun]

. . . while the National Labor Participate Rate of people falling out of the work force reaches almost 100 million!

Trump, keep your promise: get jobs!

He's trying. This is encouraging news.

Why weren't you encouraged by that news when Obama was president?

How interesting is that, being that the number of illegal aliens trying to enter the US is also at a 17 year record low?

More money for Lefty's Social Programs is a good thing, right Lefty?

WINNING!

retiring boomers is the answer to Trumps magic.

The #'s are from 2016 ... the first quarter of 2017 isn't even over yet, and the full year report wont come until around this time in 2018.

Thanks Obama, boomers are retiring in record #'s.

That's because they've given up looking for work, remember? What is the "real" unemployment number?

Huh? The unemployment insurance numbers are as of last week. And retirees have nothing to do with unemployment insurance.

The OP is about the number of continuing unemployment insurance claims. Retirees cannot have any effect on that number. That number is also completely independent of the official unemployment level and rate.

And I'm still trying to figure out why you falsely claimed the data were from 2016.

So it is all screwed up under Trumpr, or it is not so we thank Obama.

One or the other, buds: what is it?

But how many of the claims simply ran out before and the applicant was still looking for work? Is that recorded?

No. But it doesn't need to be. The unemployment numbers used for the unemployment rate are from a monthly household survey that asks about job search activity, but does not ask about unemployment insurance. If someone is not working, actively looking for work, and could start work if offered, s/he is unemployed regardless of if s/he was ever eligible for or ever received UI benefits.

Trump said repeal of Obamacare would create jobs. Tax reform, would create jobs, infrastructure spending would create jobs. But Trump has done none of that. As it says, the current 8 year-old economic expansion.

Eight years. Thanks Obama.
