Economic BAD News.....more people LEFT the job market than jobs created in April

[P@triot]

The jobs report released Friday by the U.S. Department of Labor revealed that 288,000 jobs were created in April, the biggest gain in more than two years, and that the headline unemployment rate dropped 0.4 percentage points to 6.3%, the lowest level in 5½ years.

Great news, right? Not necessarily.

The unemployment rate tumbled in April not because of all the new jobs created last month but rather because more than 800,000 people either stopped looking for a job or left the job market for other reasons (retirement, for example).

The failure of liberal policy is catastrophic and indisputable. Their idea of a "recovery" is 288,000 jobs created while 800,000 American's simply give up and leave the labor force...

We need to learn the lessons of the 50's and 60's. What ever we do, DON"T GO BACK TO THE 19th century!

The economy still sucks little puppy. Did you miss the memo?

Six paragraphs down: “The civilian labor force dropped by 806,000 in April, following an increase of 503,000 in March.”

The labor force participation rate fell by 0.4 percentage point to 62.8 percent in April.

“Today’s jobs report is yet another reminder of this anemic economic recovery and the millions of families who are suffering because of it. While the unemployment rate dropped, it is largely because a staggering 800,000 Americans have left the workforce all-together,” Rep. Tom Price (R-Ga.), vice-chairman of the House Budget Committee, quickly said in a statement.

Unemployment Rate Down, But Workforce Plummets by 806,000

The economy still sucks little puppy. Did you miss the memo?

Not according to your side which celebrates 288,000 measly, pitiful, laughable jobs while over 800,000 give up on the economy which the liberals collapsed with their communism.

This kind of failure is astounding and is just more proof in a mountain of evidence that Obama is an unqualified scam artist who takes $40 million vacations while the American people suffer....

The jobs report contained at least one ominous note. The nation's workforce shrank by more than 800,000 workers in April, sending the labor force participation rate plummeting 0.4 percentage points to 62.8%.

Liberals are hoping most of those 800,000 died. That way they'd never come back to show up on the unemployment rolls again and the cost of Obamacare would be reduced.

So long as they still showed up to vote........

Over all, good news.

There is no need to extend unemployment. Right?

Is it really so much to ask? I mean, Wal-Mart could give them stools to sit on behind the cash registers. And working in late night convenience stores, they might get killed, which would help social security and medicare.

retiring baby boomers are not the reason for the mass exodus from the labor force.
this left-wing talking point has been debunked over and over


FACT: more Americans than EVER of retirement age are choosing NOT to retire and REMAIN IN THE LABOR MARKET

FACT: there is a record number of ABLE-BODIED, WORKING-AGE AMERICANS NOT PARTICIPATING IN THE LABOR MARKET


face it; libs are losers who lie to themselves

 

[bedowin62]

try looking for an answer in the RECORD WELFARE AND DISABILITY under obama

Doesn't mind?!? They desperately need to keep people on the government plantation. They can't win an election unless the masses are beholden to them and unless they engage in voter fraud.

Yeah, less than 10,000 a year more, while about 3 million Boomers retire every year since 2010. The increase in Boomers not retiring is only a tiny fraction of a small number to begin with!!!

The labor participation rate is terrible...but just ask any liberal, progressive, or D and they will tell you things are GREAT!

 

[P@triot]

However, this large drop in unemployment occurred because of an enormous number of Americans simply giving up looking for work. In April, an estimated 800,000 Americans simply left the labor market. As a result, the labor force participation rate dropped back to 62.8 percent—tied for the lowest rate since the 1970s. Fewer prospective workers, not more jobs, caused the decline in unemployment.
