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

[Aries]

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...

And trump did all of that in just a few short months. How so?

Trump isn't winning the unemployment problem. He's riding Obama's coat tails. Obama had it down to 4.9%/pre-Bush levels by 2015.

if in April of 2017 were seeing less unemployment, that's Obama. Absolutely nothing to do with Trump or his admin. But his zombies will cheer MAGA!

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

First learn the difference between a level and a rate. You say rate, but then cite a level.
Second, "Not in the Labor Force" does not mean "falling out of the work force.' Of the current 94.5 million Not in the Labor Force (meaning neither working nor trying to work), 89 million (94.2%) say they don't want a job now. Of those who say they do want a job, 3.3 million have not done a single thing in the last year to find a job. And of the 2.2 million who have looked for work in the last year but not the last 4 weeks, 604,000 say they couldn't start a job at this time if one was offered.

The Labor Force Participation Rate tells us what percent of the population is currently willing and able to work. It tells us nothing about unemployment.

Why not? Anyone not participating in the market for labor, is by definition, unemployed by that market.

No, the people in the market, who cannot find work, are unemployed by definition.
Those not participating are, by definition, NOT unemployed.


If someone does not apply for a job, and then is not hired, what does that tell us about how hard it is to get a job? Nothing

.

Yes, they are unemployed on an at-will basis in our at-will employment States

I was finally curious enough to check: you are indeed the only person to use the phrase "unemployed on an at-will basis." So if you're the only one to hold a concept, then why do you expect it to make sense to anyone else?

It is simple American English and germane to the concept of unemployment.

Only the right wing has nothing but repeal, which is also, now usually considered, only and merely fallacy.

Why bother teaching the right wing to fish, merely for boatloads of Red Herrings.

Your headlines mean nothing, and the stories are from crazy talking heads.

Not impressed with Republicans so far. Bunch of rinos

I am and so is Assad and little Kim probably right now a hundred or so feet underground in a bunker

You think the rest of the world is afraid of you Republicans? Russia, China, North Korea and the middle east are playing you for fools. Do you know who's afraid? Us liberals, Europe, Australia, Canada.

You guys are ruining our relationships just like Bush did.

People are also under employed. That means they're working but not making enough. Isn't that right Republicans? That's what you were saying last year

This is good news for American Workers. Why can't you acknowledge that?

Who here said this isn't good news for Americans workers?

Some rabid Trump-Haters have.

Trump, keep your promise: get jobs!

Wait now where was that number in the last (president's ?) term hypo

It's occurring on his watch. He gets the credit. If a Democrat President was in there right now, they would get the same credit. Presidents get the credit and blame for good & bad things that occur on their watches. This is some good news for American Workers. And Trump gets credit for it. Good on em.

You know that's absolutely false when applied to republicans. Bush blamed 9-11 on everybody but his own ignoring of the warnings. Reagan blamed Iran/Contra on everybody but himself. again Bush blamed the 2007 recession, the biggest since Hoover, on everybody but himself.

No, no one has said that.

We're wondering what happened to the concern Republicans had last year for the underemployed.

And as I suspected it's gone. Today they're telling those underemployed that they are on their own and basically trumps not going to do shit to help them. Don't like it go back to schools, get another job or start a business

Trump winning? He's botched our relationships with:
Great Britain
Australia
Russia
Germany
Canada
Mexico

Well, i didn't say they like being blamed for bad things that happen on their watch. But that's just the way it is. It comes with the job.

Sounds like you're all-in on believing your own Bullshit. You make a wild bizarre assertion, and then perceive it to be absolute fact. It's a little nutty.

As I pointed out, republicans blame anybody else, other than their president for the bad things. Watergate, Iran/Contra, 9-11, ISIS.

Obama and Clinton never blamed anyone else for his failures? Hmm? You so sure about that?
