Bush left with the economy shedding 800,000 jobs a month....Obama is on a long long streak of 200k plus jobs a month...Thank you big O

Question Goopers

Thanks To President Obama Unemployment Just Did Something It Hasn t Done In 30 Years

What would it take before Republicans finally admitted that the economy has been successful under President Obama? On the surface, it seems like a pretty straightforward question. And, in fact, the answer is fairly simple. Not because of the straightforwardness of the question itself, but because of the mindset of those it targets.

You are a blithering moron.

Obama promised millions of new jobs with his Stimulus package, and fell far short.

That was a projection based on a series of events that did not happen

There was no "promise"

Do you know how unemployment is calculated? Do you understand the difference between U3 and U6? Do you know how the method for calculating unemployment was changed in 1994 to exclude long term unemployed?

And quoting Fox as your source? I bet on other topics you trash it as not being reliable.

You are some kind of pointy headed neocon sophisticate trying to use sophistries to refuse to acknowledge Obama is your daddy...

So we should see the record number of people on gov assistance to start dropping any day now....right?

We still need to work on salaries

Since you are so concerned, don't you think it is time to raise minimum wage to $10 an hour?

Nope..it's time people tried to better themselves and not rely on artificial wage increases.

If the people doing low wage jobs today find ways to obtain better jobs that pay more money, the jobs they leave as they move ahead will still need to be filled by someone. People better themselves all the time. They get low paying jobs, and constantly try to move ahead to better paying jobs. Some are able to move on, and some are not. Some are stuck in these low paying jobs due to very simple causes like low intelligence, lack of education and lack of opportunity.

Those jobs are intended for teenagers and retires supplementing their retirement.
Why do you support adults with opportunities to advance stealing jobs from our teenagers and elderly?

Because there are no other options available to them

Did The BLS Again Forget To Count The Tens Of Thousands Of Energy Job Losses?
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/06/2015 - 10:43

A month ago we asked if the "BLS Forget To Count Thousands Of Energy Job Losses" when as we showed, the BLS reported that only 1,900 jobs were lost in the entire oil and gas extraction space, which was a vast underestimation of what is taking place in reality, when compared to not only corporate layoff announcements, but what Challenger had reported was going on in the shale patch, when it calculated that some 21,300 jobs were lost in January in just the energy sector. Today we ask again: did the BLS once more forget to add the now tens of thousands of jobs lost in the US energy sector? We ask because the divergence is getting, frankly, ridiculous.

Why No Wage Increases: More Than Half Of Jobs Added In February Were Lowest-Quality, Lowest-Paying
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/06/2015 - 10:15

The three biggest single-category jobs added in February (because Professional services includes numerous occupations), were also the three lowest quality, lowest paying ones:

Leisure and Hospitality, added 66K jobs
Education and Health added 54K
Retail trade added 32K

Together these three job categories accounted for 152K jobs, or more than half the total February job gains. They also represent the lowest paid jobs in the US.

Great news

Cue in Conservatives whining about Labor Participation Rate being the key economic factor

That does have reliance even if you don't think so,try again

 

[rightwinger]

I will never understand why the government messaging of labor statistics has to be a partisan issue. When the Republican are in office, THEY do it, and the people on the left complain about it, and folks on the right turn a blind eye and act stupid and ignorant. Then when the reverse happens, the folks on the left pretend their big daddies don't do the same.

PEOPLE, quit letting your egos get invested in your favorite politicians and your political parties. The nation is in trouble! The economy has been seriously crippled since the passing of NAFTA, fiat currency, and market manipulations by global trading houses, and globalist politicians from BOTH parties are to blame! American industry, American living standards, and American jobs are the cost!

More internationalist trade policies are on the way.

The Big Lie: 5.6% Unemployment
The Big Lie 5.6 Unemployment

"None of them will tell you this: If you, a family member or anyone is unemployed and has subsequently given up on finding a job -- if you are so hopelessly out of work that you've stopped looking over the past four weeks -- the Department of Labor doesn't count you as unemployed. That's right. While you are as unemployed as one can possibly be, and tragically may never find work again, you are not counted in the figure we see relentlessly in the news -- currently 5.6%. Right now, as many as 30 million Americans are either out of work or severely underemployed. Trust me, the vast majority of them aren't throwing parties to toast "falling" unemployment.

There's another reason why the official rate is misleading. Say you're an out-of-work engineer or healthcare worker or construction worker or retail manager: If you perform a minimum of one hour of work in a week and are paid at least $20 -- maybe someone pays you to mow their lawn -- you're not officially counted as unemployed in the much-reported 5.6%. Few Americans know this.

Yet another figure of importance that doesn't get much press: those working part time but wanting full-time work. If you have a degree in chemistry or math and are working 10 hours part time because it is all you can find -- in other words, you are severely underemployed -- the government doesn't count you in the 5.6%. Few Americans know this.

There's no other way to say this. The official unemployment rate, which cruelly overlooks the suffering of the long-term and often permanently unemployed as well as the depressingly underemployed, amounts to a Big Lie.

And it's a lie that has consequences, because the great American dream is to have a good job, and in recent years, America has failed to deliver that dream more than it has at any time in recent memory. A good job is an individual's primary identity, their very self-worth, their dignity -- it establishes the relationship they have with their friends, community and country. When we fail to deliver a good job that fits a citizen's talents, training and experience, we are failing the great American dream.

Gallup defines a good job as 30+ hours per week for an organization that provides a regular paycheck. Right now, the U.S. is delivering at a staggeringly low rate of 44%, which is the number of full-time jobs as a percent of the adult population, 18 years and older. We need that to be 50% and a bare minimum of 10 million new, good jobs to replenish America's middle class."
-Jim Clifton is Chairman and CEO at Gallup.

Like Einstein said....its all relative

300,000 jobs represent a range of jobs. Some are really good, some are marginal. But 300,000 jobs is still good
If it were a one shot deal, you mau have a point
But in the midst of 11 straight months of 200 k plus jobs it is a very positive employment trend

You are not one of those rooting for the economy to fail are you?

Sigh. You just don't understand fascism corportism, do you? What happens when the government and the federal reserve quit manipulating the economy? What happens when the government contracts dry up? What happens when tax breaks to various industries for hiring a certain number of low skilled employees and inner-city kids, and those types of programs goes away?

No I'm not rooting for the economy to fail, but I know that this administration's policies, and the policies of the last administration have both done more to harm the economy than they have done to help it. When ever you do more to help the people on Wall Street than the people on main street, when ever you are more concerned about what the DOW is doing, or how foreign trade polies are going to affect your campaign coffers instead of your national industrial and commercial output, there is going to be trouble. Our industrial and commercial activity is down, our manipulating of computer data and shifing of numbers is up. That is NOT economic activity. It is hocus pocus.

Our politicians don't think long term, they think about the next campaign, and they think about staying in power. They do what they are told by their benefactors. And they all have the same benefactors. It doesn't matter if they say they hail from the left of the right. These benefactors all believe in the same thing, one global socialist government ruled by a network of international elites with no allegiance to any particular place. Family? Loyalty? Community? These are concepts they disdain. These are socialpaths with no love of anything other than themselves and their apparent birth right to lord over the masses. Why else would they, (no matter if they be Republican or Democrat,) seek to deceive us with phony unemployment and CPI numbers?


When all those Austrian Economists in 2006 and 2007 told pundits that we were in a real estate bubble and heading for a crash, the interviewers said the same thing.

"Boy, your a real doom and gloom sort of guy. Are you hoping we fail? Things have never looked better, look at how well the Dow is preforming. . . . "

And the response was always the same.

They always said NO, they just didn't believe in fairy tales. They just looked at the number of people working, the amount of "stuff," the nation was producing, and they knew it was a fake government/fed. manipulated economy. This is just more of the same. Nothing has been fixed.

That has not been accurate for over a generation. But even if you were correct, why would you think it was OK to short pay teenagers and senior citizens? What you suggest is that it is alright to abuse the vulnerable folks who have little say or choice.
