Another Good Month On The Jobs Front...unemployment Drops To 5.9%

People that still have W's picture as their avatar six YEARS after he left the Oval Office amuse me. I'm sorry, little camper but it's not W's fault at this point if it ever WAS! What's taking place in the country and around the world right now are the direct results of Barack Obama's policies or lack thereof.

If Barry was a CEO of company brought in to replace an outgoing CEO and six years later he was still blaming a lack of performance on the man he took over for...he would definitely be getting replaced himself.

You mean the size and depth of the hole Dubya/GOP drove US into doesn't matter? The FACT that under Obama, over 10+ million PRIVATE sector jobs have been created since Obamacares passed in Feb 2010? While Dubya lost over 1,000,000+ PRIVATE sector jobs in 8 years?

Bureau of Labor Statistics Data

I guess the owners of the comp didn't like either Gramps or Mittens and decided to stick with the guy who pulled US out of Dubya's/GOP great recession instead right? lol

Barack Obama has "led" the worst recovery from a recession since the Great Depression. We've spent trillions of dollars on his progressive economic agenda and it created so few jobs that he was forced to come up with a new economic statistic "jobs created or saved" to hide how bad it was!

You continue to use misleading statistics to hide the ineptness of this Administration when it comes to economics. The following is from FactCheck.Org:

"The economy as of June had gained just over 4.8 million jobs since Obama took office in January 2009. The unemployment rate has declined to 6.1 percent, which is 1.7 points lower than when he took office and 3.9 points lower than it was at its worst point during October 2009."

Weird you didn't link Factcheck? lol

Jan 2009 111,397,000 PRIVATE sector jobs

Sept 2014 117,524,000 PRIVATE sector jobs


THAT'S OVER 6+ MILLION PRIVATE SECTOR JOBS! Go back to Feb 2010 AND over 10+ million PRIVATE sector jobs have been created

Bureau of Labor Statistics Data

YES, YOUR LINK SHOWS OBAMA HAS LOST MILLIONS OF PUBLIC SECTOR JOBS. Is that a bad thing today in conservative world? lol
 
Economy gains 248 000 jobs as hiring rebounds

The labor market rebounded sharply in September as employers added 248,000 jobs, the second largest gain for any month this year.
The unemployment rate fell to 5.9% from 6.1%, lowest since July 2008, the Labor Department said Friday.


46% of college grads are underemployed at jobs that don't require a degree.

September employment numbers indicate 7.1 million are involuntarily working part-time for economic reasons (little change from a month ago)

Household income of American families is lower now, adjusted for inflation, than when efforts for a recovery began.

How exactly is the economy getting better?

Glad you agree the 'job creators' aren't doing what they promised with their lowest SUSTAINED tax burden for 80+ years, time to get back to getting them to pay their fair share if they get less than half the effective tax rates they had 1in the 1940's and 1950's on 300%+ more share of the pie!!!
'

How does that have anything to do with families unable to get high paying career jobs, but are stuck in part time employment? College Graduates Are stuck with jobs that only require high school education, and you blame the fact corporations aren't paying enough in taxes. These results I previously stated are proof trickle up doesn't work, the stimulus failed to produce a robust economy, and you don't have the slightest clue about economic issues and job creation.
 
Moron people make up the participation rate. fewer PEOPLE means less participation meaning the numbers will drop,
Naturally being a dumb ass obama supporter you will never comprehend that. Try to say something else and say you won doesn't work with me dumb ass.
Obviously not always as the number of people in the labor force increased and the LPR fell. Again, demographics can have a greater effect on the LPR than economic conditions, as is happening now, which is why the LPR cannot be considered without taking into account the effect of demographics.
DUMB FUCK
fewer PEOPLE WORKING MEANS THE PARTICIPATION RATE WILL DROP
WHAT IS 2+2?
Here we go again, you still don't know what a "person" is! You probably think a corporation is a "person." :cuckoo:

When Bush left office there were 142,152,000 people working and there are 146,600,000 people working now. That's more people working as the LPR drops. In fact there are more people working now then at any time in our history and yet the LPR drops. This is exactly why the LPR is such a lousy economic indicator, DEMOGRAPHICS can cause the LPR to drop whether the number of people working is increasing or decreasing. That is why nobody made a peep while the LPR fell and there were 80 million not working under Bush.
Stupid there is no here we go again it's all you dumbass it's all you. You are to god damn stupid to understand the participation rate REPRESENTS PEOPLE.
No. it represents a %. People are not %s.
No fucking wonder you are an obama supporter you are dumber than a slug.
Sorry for the insult to slugs.
The percentage rate denote people dumb ass

Got it. You have right wing talking points. Dubya lost over 1,000,000+ PRIVATE sector jobs in his 8 years and it cost over $2 trillion for his tax cuts, that according to conservatives were going to create jobs and according tro Heritage Foundation, pay off the debt by 2010. How many jobs did that cost per job lost?

RECOVERY? Oh right, AGAIN a GOPer runs the economy into the ground and a Dem has to rescue it

Wingnut, the stimulus had ONE purpose, to stop US from going into ANOTHER GOP great depression, it worked, though it was too small

Weird, how'd the US do with Dubya's UNFUNDED (cutting spending) tax cuts? Oh right, 8 years later the US had lost over 1,000,000+ PRIVATE sector jobs



Neo-Liberalism/Conservatives is/has destroyed the American Economy in favor of the so called "Job Creator"... In reality are "Job Exporters"...

The only reason the American economy is stalled is because the GOTP kicks the leg from under it, every time the economy begins to recover in the name of cutting the deficit

The problem with the conservative movement in America is that it is based on bigotry, hatred, and, greed. Above all, greed. Money is their god. They worship money and the holders of it and despise those who don't have it.

TARP kept the economy from going into another Great Depression...the Obama Stimulus simply spent nearly a trillion dollars taking care of Obama supporters like Public Sector Unions and "Green Energy" companies while it left the Private Sector twisting in the wind.

And if the stimulus REALLY "worked"...then why did the Obama Administration have to come up with a new measurement "jobs created or saved" instead of using the existing one that measured how many jobs were created? The answer to that is obvious! They spent ALL that money and didn't come close to creating the jobs they said they would.

CBO Director Demolishes GOP's Stimulus Myth

Under questioning from skeptical Republicans, the director of the nonpartisan (and widely respected) Congressional Budget Office was emphatic about the value of the 2009 stimulus. And, he said, the vast majority of economists agree.


In a survey conducted by the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, 80 percent of economic experts agreed that, because of the stimulus, the U.S. unemployment rate was lower at the end of 2010 than it would have been otherwise.

"Only 4 percent disagreed or strongly disagreed," CBO Director Douglas Elmendorf told the House Budget Committee. "That," he added, "is a distinct minority."

Not content with that response, Kansas Republican Rep. Tim Huelskamp tried again. "Where did Washington mess up?" Huelskamp demanded. "Because you're saying most economists think it should've worked. It didn't." As the Post's Lori Montgomery detailed, Elmendorf drove home the point:


Most economists not only think it should have worked; they think it did work, Elmendorf replied. CBO's own analysis found that the package added as many as 3.3 million jobs to the economy during the second quarter of 2010, and may have prevented the nation from lapsing back into recession.

Elmendorf's agency released its latest assessment of the stimulus just last week. And as the table below shows, at its peak in 2010 the ARRA added up to 3.3 million jobs, cut unemployment by as much as 1.8 percent and boosted GDP by up to 4.1 percent. (It's also worth noting that the CBO once again confirmed that aid to the states and purchases by the federal government delivers the biggest bang for the buck, while upper income tax cuts provide the least.)

CBO Director Demolishes GOP s Stimulus Myth


Economists agree: Stimulus created nearly 3 million jobs

It's no surprise that the administration would proclaim its own policies a success. But its verdict is backed by economists at Goldman Sachs, IHS Global Insight, JPMorgan Chase and Macroeconomic Advisers, who say the stimulus boosted gross domestic product by 2.1% to 2.7%.

OMG...you are the most clueless person on this board when it comes to economics!

Of course those Public Sector jobs at the State and Local level would have been cut! Why? Because States and Local government don't have the capability to print money to pay their bills like the Federal Government does! By law they have to balance their budgets. When the Federal Government gave States and Local governments stimulus monies to keep public sector employees working it did so by going deeper into debt. You can easily tell that's the case because Federal employees were NOT laid off in any where close to the numbers that State and Local employees were. What progressives like you wanted the GOP to do was to simply sign off on more debt so that our bloated and inefficient government could continue to grow larger. With the debt load we already have that would have been an idiotic thing to do!

"Government Workers

While cash-strapped state and local governments have been laying off teachers, firefighters, police and other workers, the federal government has increased the number of its employees under Obama.

The most recent figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics show that as of December, workers on the federal payroll (excluding postal workers) numbered more than 2.1 million, up 3.2 percent since January 2009.

During the same time, the number of workers on state payrolls went down 3 percent and those on local government payrolls declined by 3.5 percent. A big reason for the disparity is that state and local governments generally must balance their spending and income each year, while the federal government can keep up spending by borrowing.

The figures also show that in recent months state and federal governments have been able to hire back some of their laid-off workers. Obama’s hiring spree also peaked in 2011 (ignoring spikes in hiring of temporary Census workers in 2010), and the number of non-postal federal workers has gone down more or less steadily during the budget battles of the past two years. But the number is above where it was when he took office." FactCheck.Org

What I "mean" is that while standing on the stump and bemoaning "income inequality" in America, Barack Obama's economic policies or lack there of...have resulted in the wealthy making much more and the Middle Class making much less. How can THAT be when Barry the Progressive is running things!!!

When Bush left office the unemployment rate was 7.8%. After the Obama Stimulus it went up to 10% and didn't come down below 9% for another TWO AND A HALF YEARS!!!

I know, let's give Corps and 'job creators' ANOTHER tax cut, it will definitely 'trickle down' this time, right? lol

What I "mean" is that while standing on the stump and bemoaning "income inequality" in America, Barack Obama's economic policies or lack there of...have resulted in the wealthy making much more and the Middle Class making much less. How can THAT be when Barry the Progressive is running things!!!

You mean AFTER Dubya/GOP's great recession, the 'job creators' bounced back faster than everyone else, like EVERY recession? Shocking. Think Obama HAD to work with the GOPers in Congress? Think IF Obama was actually King, the 'job creators' would be paying the lowest SUSTAINED effective tax burden in 80+ years? Or that Corps would have the lowest effectives tax rates in 40+ years?

And Obama is the second best conservative Prez since Ike, only BJ Bill was better!
 
Why do you even waste time arguing that this President's record on the economy isn't abysmal, Dad? It is. You can try and spin things by cherry picking statistics to make it appear better than it is but who are you really fooling? The Middle Class knows the economy sucks. All they have to do is sit down and add up their bills and compare that total to what they are taking home in their paycheck. They are getting killed under Barack Obama!
 
Funny how the far left blasted Bush for having an unemployment rate of 4.6%. Yet praise Obama for numbers like 10.2, 9.6, 8.2, 6.9, and 5.9..


Who 'blasted' Dubya for 4.6 (even if he inherited 4%)? You mean WHY was it 4.6%? Oh right his PONZI scheme where he cheered the Banksters on. It was called a false economy

What was Dubya's final (Jan 2009) unemployment numbers? And who was responsible for the 4+ million jobs lost in Obama's first 9 months?

When Bush left office the unemployment rate was 7.8%. After the Obama Stimulus it went up to 10% and didn't come down below 9% for another TWO AND A HALF YEARS!!!



Well consider that the unemployment ACTUALLY was 8.3% in Feb 2009, since Obama got into office Jan 20th, AND by his 3rd month in, it was 9.4%

Bureau of Labor Statistics Data

Yes, AND we were losing 800,000 jobs a month, remember? The economy contracted over 9%+ the last quarter of Dubya's term remember?

Yes, Dubya/GOP dug a WIDE and deep hole, and have worked as a disloyal opposition party against US!
 
And I'm laughing my ass off when I read your little rant about the GOP worshiping greed! The fact is...the wealthy in this country have gotten far richer under Barack Obama's "progressive" Administration than the Middle Class have.

This hasn't BEEN like every recession! This recovery has been historic in how slow it's been.
