4.6% unemployment rate

[Rexx Taylor]

well being they lied when they gave Hillary a 14 point lead over Trump, then Obama must be closer to a 35% approval.

 

[BluesLegend]

Riiiiiight Obama is so great he lost the House, Senate, White House, and SCOTUS during his 2 terms. /SARCASM

Obungles is the best thing to have happened for the republican party, he'll leave with the dems in shambles and the repubs in full control

Trump won because racist dog shit like you.

Calm yourself, you can try again in 4 to 8 years who knows maybe you will have better luck.

Let's face some brutal facts, the dems haven't fared so well in recent elections. There is a reason for that...they should be wondering why. The democrat party is decimated, no leadership, a failed agenda and they have little power.

But they gained seats in the House & Senate.

Yes AFTER getting obliterated twice in election losses so historic you have to go all the way back to 1921 to find Democratic party beatings that epic. Then there are state house, senate, and governor elections in which Dem's were demolished. If you think scraping back a paltry few seats after suffering beatings that profound is a shift in voter sentiment well you are deluding yourself.

If Dem's were smart they would do some soul searching and clean house at the leadership level but they are not, they choose to blame Russia and every other excuse in the book. They refuse to take their medicine and change their ways. The future looks bleak for Dem's.

Only because more Republican seats were up for election than Democrat seats. If you really had something to brag about, the Democrats would have won the Senate.

Even Evan Bayh, a Dem golden boy got shellacked

The liberal wing of the Democratic party have led them to ruin. If I was a rank and file Dem I'd be livid. I mean holy shit they were on top of the world in 2008, House, super majority in the Senate, White House. And in less than 2 years the liberals in their party wrecked that. A furious American people, fed up with the liberals arrogant fuck you American people attitude wiped them out in the House. A mere 2 years then WHAMMO.

The Democrat Party: Bunch of old rich white people and greedy slave owners!!!!

 

[Synthaholic]

No no we get to say Bbbbuuut OBAMA!!!! Like the left has spent eight years screaming Bbbbbbut BOOOOOOOOOSH!!!!!

Except you won't be able to point to any data to back you up.

That's the difference, wingnut.

4.6 percent. ...Damn impressive

I remember 2009 when the rate broke 10 percent. Even though the market was recovering, GDP was positive, hiring was up

Republicans insisted......The unemployment rate is the most important economic factor

there are 90 million americans who are not in the work force. Most of them are not counted in the unemployment stats.

But continue your Obama worship, you can only do it for a few more weeks. Then, the end of an error and a new beginning under intelligent patriotic leadership.

OK, take them out. 40 million is what % of 300 million?

Can we take out 10 million handicapped too?
How about 12 million stay at home moms?
How about students between 16-24?
How about children under 16?

Take all those out and you end up with around 8 million not in the workforce who want to be

95,000,000 million people no longer in the labor force disagree with you....

they made up the 4.6% just like they made up the Barry approval of 56%. maybe rats just assume that 65% of Americans are just so damn stupid, they will believe any facts coming from the white house.

When Trump takes over in January....will they be making up numbers too?

He will probably go back to the real number rather than using the fake formula Obama put in place....

Oh? What change are you claiming Obama made that is "fake"

Nor should they

Why do you want to include 50 million retirees as "unemployed"?

OK, take them out. 40 million is what % of 300 million?

Can we take out 10 million handicapped too?
How about 12 million stay at home moms?
How about students between 16-24?
How about children under 16?

Take all those out and you end up with around 8 million not in the workforce who want to be

many handicapped are employed, students and moms have part time jobs. I had a part time job at 14, have you ever had a job?

 

[Roudy]

Okay okay,mthe Obama economy and agenda is a success, and that's why people didn't vote for the candidate he begged Americans to vote for.

"Please vote for Hillary....my legacy...my shitty legacy"

Obama won the popular vote

More people voted against Trump than for him

Tough shit. You lost.....

Yes, Trump rigged the election.

Just how exactly did he do that?
Did he convince a bunch of people Hillary was a lying bitch?

Guilty as charged.

Illegals in California, New York and many liberal states with sanctuary cities issue drivers licenses, etc.

All an illegal needs to do to vote at a polling both is to show an ID or ANYTHING with their address, showing where they live and therefore are at the right polling location to vote. And then they're allowed to vote. Millions of illegals voted in exactly this manner.

doubled the national debt
more people than ever below the poverty line
more on welfare than ever before
more on food stamps than ever before
no growth in real wages in 8 years


just to list a few points of data verifying Obama's failures.

 

[Redfish]

well being they lied when they gave Hillary a 14 point lead over Trump, then Obama must be closer to a 35% approval.

they only polled the blue counties about his approval rating.

 

[Roudy]

Lowest labor participation rate since the 70's which means you can flush those numbers down the toilet. More people are out of work and stopped looking in 50 years.

Bureau of Labor Statistics Data

Record 94,610,000 Americans Not in Labor Force; Participation Rate Lowest in 38 Years

Like I said, concocted numbers to make the disastrous Obama presidency look good. This is the narrarative CNN has decided it's going to push. Stupid delusional leftist idiots, if the economy was that good then why didn't Hiilary become president.

Roudy is not telling you that more Americans are employed that ever in our history. 4.6% UE rate is fantastic.

Beginning in 2017, every month the national Labor Force participation rate is going to go down as Trump's policies fail. Check #377 link to it.

Every single month Trump will fail, and we have Roudy to thank for pointing it out.

The truth is, this is the economy Obama has left us with, and why Trump became president.

U.S. has 3rd-lowest labor-force participation for men among developed countries

Obama's gift to Trump: A 'pretty solid' economy

A solid economy where a record number of 95 million are out of work and stopped looking? Ha ha ha ha ha.

Liberalism is a mental disorder.

Too stupid for words.

89 million of those 95 million don't want to work.

There were more people out of work who wanted a job while Bush was president. Where was your outrage then?

So Democrats are all about creating more people out of work who depend on the govt. and therefore more voters. In the meantime the working class gets taxed like crazy and America goes down the toilet because of their social engineering, globalist, socialist agenda. The Democrapic party platform in a nutshell.

 

[Roudy]

Good to see the rate continue to drop

Employers added solid 178,000 jobs in Nov.

The labor market perked up modestly in November as employers added 178,000 jobs and the unemployment rate fell to a nine-year low, providing more evidence of a solid economy in the final payroll report before an expected Federal Reserve interest rate hike.

The unemployment rate, which is calculated from a different survey than the payroll total, fell from 4.9% to 4.6%, lowest since August 2007





.

More liberal bullshit concocted numbers, just like the made up polls that showed Clinton 332 vs Trump 216, on Nov. 7.

They're on a mission to made Obama look good. Keep putting lipstick on that pig, guys. Does it reflect the millions out of work and stopped looking? No. Does it reflect the record number of food stamps? no. Does it reflect the hundreds of thousands of manufacturing jobs lost? No. Does it reflect record black unemployment? No. The list goes on and on. This is all leftist mumbo jumbo and a failed effort to save the first black president's disastrous legacy.

Think the BLS numbers are "made up"?

Ready to claim they are fake when they report on the Trump economy?

Lowest labor participation rate since the 70's which means you can flush those numbers down the toilet. More people are out of work and stopped looking in 50 years.

Bullshit.

LFPR decline was well predicted and it will continue due to basic demographics and education standards.

It will be flat during cycle growth years (like it has been 2014-now) and it will drop in slower years through 2030s...unless there is a drastic change in immigration policy.

If you think Trump will change this you may as well start slow cooking that shoe now - it is only a matter of time before you'll have to eat it.

Aha! I'm sure you also have a graph to show us why there has been record unemployment of blacks and Latinos under Obama. LOL.

 

[Roudy]

Not to worry.

Beginning in February next year and every month thereafter this argument will be used to discredit Trump's economic efforts as well as the economy.

So basically you're saying is you're full of shit?

Yup. Their strategy is to moan and groan while Trump fixes America.

one of the great job creators president obama who was handed a bs economy and turned it around ,,,so sorry obama haters

You obviously don't know what you're talking about.

More Americans are kissing the workforce goodbye – not because they’re financially secure but because they can’t find a job. A record 95 million people are sitting on the sidelines opting not to work. As a result, the labor participation rate is stuck at 62.7%, a 40-year low.


“There are a certain percentage of people staying home,” said Dan North, economist at Euler Hermes, during an interview with FOXBusiness.com. “If benefits are great in some states, people will just stay home,” he noted. Those benefits may include welfare, food stamps and Medicare.

“It’s not that people are lazy, they are just not stupid,” Michael Tanner, senior fellow at the Cato Institute, which advocates limited government, tells FOXBusiness.com. Tanner, who studies poverty issues, also notes the federal welfare system is very complex and has around 70 programs, making it more complicated to fix. States with generous freebies include Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey and California.

[Roudy]

Let's see

Obama has 4.6% unemployment. $2 gas. Rising housing market. Low interest rates. Low inflation. Strong dollar.

Trump has nowhere to go but down
.

10 years - the longest post-war recession-to-recession span and we are approaching 8, Trump needs to stretch it to 13 to get re-elected. His persona is married to economy, if he isn't a businessman that delivers, then he is just a hard blowing clown.

Bush gave Obama the worst economy in 70 years......whatever Obama did would improve it

Trump is getting a solid economy and a Congress full of Teatards who won't support additional debt if the economy starts to tank

Solid economy with record low growth, record low labor participation, and the world on fire. Sounds pretty solid to me.

Bottom line is despite all your 'splaining away Obama's failures, there exists a record low number of people in the labor force. Which makes the unemployment numbers utterly meaningless.

And you in your dreams ignore the graph above. Trump is going to get the Labor Force Participation rate, along with his supporters, rammed down his throat every month.
