Unemployment Rate Down 0.5% in 56 Months Since Obama Became President

[Black_Label]

This makes the 52th straight month of positive job growth for Obama. Well done!

No, the drop is due to more people stopping ling for jobs not getting jobs. False facts based on lies is typical for the lying left.

Butthurt because you can't handle the facts.

Under GOP presidents, all we get is debt, insane spending, and job loss. Under democrats, we get the opposite, which has been proven for decades.

 

[Antares]

Golly put the 90 mil not even playing anymore and what would that UE number be?

 

[velvtacheeze]

We were coming back from the Bush Recession pretty well until the GOP took the House in the Elder White Panic Vote of 2010.

It's just a speed bump though. Millennials are very liberal, and also more asian and hispanic too. Their patience with the GOP and their ageing, graying rank & file is quite thin, and getting thinner. It will be about 10 to 20 years, then the Dems will sweep into power in a overwhelming majority, and America will be a social democracy, Euro-style.

The following are inevitiable: Single Payer Healthecare, Free College, Living Wage, Mandatory Unions, Higher taxes on the overpaid and leisure classes, a stiff, pro-green, per miles taxation on NASCAR drivers, cut off of Israeli subsidies and handouts, mandatory apologies to Iraqis from all Bush voters, removal of 'under god' from PoA, renaming of cities, roads, schools, forts, etc. that are currently named after treasonous confederates, dismantling of all confederate monuments, most especially stonewall mountain.

I love the hypocrisy! Giving false facts and lies while accusing others of lying is typical of the lying Right.

The number of discouraged workers has DECLINED from 1,027,000 in June to 866,000 in August while there are over 2 million more people working than when Bush left office.

Speaking of August, the number of people employed DROPPED by 115K, and the number of people who DROPPED OUT OF THE LABOR FORCE ALTOTHER increased by 516K. If you think this is good, you're a loon.

And a bit more: The overall Civilian Population increased by 203K while the Labor Force decreased by 312K. We have a rapidly shrinking pool of people who actually work (and pay the taxes). It's a slow death spiral when the economy doesn't create enough jobs to keep up with population growth...and that's Obama's Real Legacy.

Single payer, higher taxes, free college. These words on a right wing working stiff forum is like showing the cross to a vampire. Their only agenda is elimination of taxes on wealthy people that wouldn't urinate on them. If you want to finish off these useful idiots of the ruling class, throw in something about nutrition programs for needy children.

How 'bout this:

Expanded affirmative action to make up for slavery and jim crow, and much higher per student spending on schools where the majority of students are black.

The best manifestation of this: the number of people not in the labor force which in March soared by a massive 663,000 to a record 90 million Americans who are no longer even looking for work. This was the biggest monthly increase in people dropping out of the labor force since January 2012, when the BLS did its census recast of the labor numbers. And even worse, the labor force participation rate plunged from an already abysmal 63.5% to 63.3% - the lowest since 1979! But at least it helped with the now painfully grotesque propaganda that the US unemployment rate is "improving."

Through July, the U.S. had recovered 6.7 million of the 8.8 million jobs lost as a result of the 18-month recession that ended in June 2009.

Payrolls rose by 180,000 following a 162,000 gain the prior month, according to the median forecast of 94 economists in a Bloomberg survey. Unemployment stayed at 7.4 percent, matching the lowest since December 2008, they projected.

2.4 million jobs lost due to China from 2001-2008

Obama "Derangement" syndrome keeps those on the right from actually looking at what happened and who is responsible.

When Obama took office, the Labor Force Participation Rate was 65.7%; it is now 63.2%. We are missing over 6M jobs which should have been created in a proper recovery.

You wouldn't need a recovery if the deficit creating Bush tax cuts had worked.

The deficit was shrinking until the Dems took over Congress....and then Barry went on his Stimulus-Spending Palooza. The net result has been virtually no economic growth...and anemic job creation...all for $T+ deficits during each of Obama's years in office. And speaking of derangement, it's incredibly pathetic to keep blaming Bush in 2013. Obama is President, so deal with it. He screwed up the Recovery.

People are leaving the workforce because Boomers are retiring. Back in the Bush Regime they predicted this and used it as a rationalization for privatizing Social Security. The LPR will continue to decline no matter who is president as long as Boomers are retiring. To try to blame Obama for Boomers getting old shows just how desperate the Right is!!!

yet American corporations stash trillions and hire very little.

..as a direct result of Obama administration policies.

Bullshit! Bush was playing the same accounting games as Clinton to make the deficit appear to go down. Once there was no more SS Surplus the deficit started to match the increase in debt. So it was the end of the SS Surplus and not the Dem takeover of Congress that caused the deficit to soar.

Obamacare is not only killing jobs, it is cutting hours on existing jobs. His (Yes, I said "his".) sequester is causing furloughs and cutbacks that trickle into our declining economic system that is driven by CASH FLOW! The arrogant ****** is too goddamned self-righteous to realize it. He has failed MISERABLY...but he doesn't know it...yet!

Does that include the ones who gave up looking for a job? Obama has successfully completed phase one of bringing down capitalism.
