ARMAGEDDON...Jobless claims plunge to 222,000, second-lowest mark in decades

[ColonelAngus]

Remember folks, the last thing Communists/Democrats want, is a happy prosperous Citizenry. They desperately need more folks in poverty and fully dependent on Government. They need mass discontent to advance their Agenda. So don't expect any Democrats to celebrate this good news. It's actually very bad news for them. They suck. It is what it is.

My man!

this is 100% correct.

You Progs really need to educate yourselves on how you are being exploited.

Progs,

How, specifically is it bad that unemployment claims are near a 40 year low?

When people are working and earning a PAYCHECK...that INCOME IS TAXED.

So...not only does to government REDUCE their WELFARE SPENDING ON EVERY PERSON WHO US EMPLYED.....THE GOVERNMENT COLLECTS TAXES....

So they save on the SPENDING SIDE and they ADD TAX REVENUE.

How is that bad?

We have more people not working today than at any time in our history

It is a DISGRACE.....a disgrace I say

I hear ya, but don't bother. Communists/Democrats need more folks in poverty and fully dependent on Government. A happy prosperous populace doesn't help advance their Agenda. They need mass discontent. So no matter what you say, this is bad news for them. They need the economy to collapse. That's what they hope for everyday. But hey, nice try at attempting to reason wth em.

Very good news.

 

[rightwinger]

Such BAD NEWS!

JUST AWFUL!

"New applications for unemployment benefits dropped 7,000 to 222,000 in the second full week of February, the Department of Labor reported Thursday, the second-lowest mark of the recovery and a good sign for the economy.

Forecasters had expected new jobless claims to remain steady at an ultra-low 230,000. Lower claims are good news because they mean fewer people are getting laid off.

Thursday's mark is the lowest since the early 1970s, setting aside the week of January 13, when claims touched as low as 216,000."



Jobless claims plunge to 222,000, second-lowest mark in decades

We have 172 million Americans not working

What fake numbers are you using?

Dupe. You really need to quit using the Russian Times for your information, comrade. From the US BLS..

"In January, the unemployment rate was 4.1 percent for the fourth consecutive month. The number of unemployed persons, at 6.7 million, changed little over the month."

Employment Situation Summary

Now for a lesson in math: Which is bigger?

1.) 6.7 million

2.) 172 million

<insert Jeopardy theme here>

LOL

Everyone KNOWS those numbers are fake.....Trump himself told us so

He said the only number that matters is the Labor Participation Rate
Why is it dropping under Trump?

172 million people are not working

Give it up, dumbass. You people have lost what little credibility you might have had at one time.

Nobody's buying it any more.

Most Democrats are what Lenin called 'Useful Idiots.' They're just being used to advance the Communist Agenda. Lenin boasted about creating an army of millions of 'Useful Idiots.' And sadly, he accomplished his goal.

This will blow your mind, but both numbers are correct. The 172 million includes all children and retired folks, stay at home parents, as we as the “unemployed”.

Not all children, just the ones age 16 or over and it doesn't include the unemployed, the unemployed are considered part of the labor force because they are actively trying to sell their labor (i.e. they've looked for work within the last 4 weeks).

The number represents the part of the population age 16 or older that are no longer participating in the labor force because they are not actively trying to sell their labor (haven't looked for work within the last 4 weeks), the more people that fall into this category the lower the LFPR.

Folks who make a real effort to work, will work. The jobs are there. Good on Trump.

IMHO it's not quite that simple, we have a problem with structural unemployment, that is the skills available in the domestic labor force don't match the skills demanded by employers, so yeah there are jobs available but the labor force isn't able to supply sufficient numbers of workers with the skills wanted/needed and the education system isn't doing an effective enough job to remedy that.

The current remedy is to import the skills needed (immigration) or export the demand (off-shore), which is far from ideal.

 

[Dschrute3]

Sorry, but y'all are wasting your time trying to reason with Communists/Democrats. They're Useful Idiots. A happy prosperous populace doesn't help advance the Communist Agenda. They need mass discontent. They need more folks in poverty and fully dependent on Government.

So no matter what you say to them, they'll continue to stick to the script. They're what Lenin referred to as 'Useful Idiots.' The reality is, good economic news for Americans, is very bad news for Communists/Democrats. It is what it is.
