If He Gets The Blame, He Gets The Credit ...

(CNSNews.com) - The Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics on Friday released its first look at employment since Donald Trump became president, and although that report does not reflect actual Trump policy changes, it does include the period just before Trump became president and was tweeting about jobs saved.

According to BLS, the labor force participation rate improved in January, increasing two-tenths of a point to 62.9 percent, its best showing in four months.

BLS said 152,081,000 Americans were employed in January, close to last month’s record 152,111,000. At the same time, the number of Americans not in the labor force went in the right direction, dropping to 94,366,000, which is 736,000 fewer than last month’s record 95,102,000.

In January, the nation’s civilian noninstitutionalized population, consisting of all people age 16 or older who were not in the military or an institution, reached 254,082,000. Of those, 159,716,000 participated in the labor force by either holding a job or actively seeking one.

Sounds like Obama did well.

Let's hope Trump does, but the labor participation rate under Trump is going to swell with those who drop out of the work force.

Yep. Obama's unemployment numbers were based on UE-3, which doesn't include those who have given up hope for a decent job and now that a Republican is in office the media is reporting UE-6 which does include them, obviously a higher number. So they knew all along what the difference was.

This is what we've come to expect from leftists.

As I have pointed out to you tards umpteen times, U-6 plunged right along with U-3.

You are lying, IceIce (which is par for the course for you)....Show me an example of someone offering U6 as a headline number...

The headline number has ALWAYS been U3......the ONLY reason U6 has been discovered is because when U3 dropped so precipitously after the 2012 election, IdiotMedia had to feed its Faithful SOMETHING....comically, the effort to make U6 the headline rate has been a cause of Jim Clifton, the CEO of Gallup (who posts U6 with the label "Real Unemployment")....In 2014 he wanted to sell his book lamenting the state of the Obama labor market.....

Unfortunately for Jim, 2014 would turn out to be the best year for employment growth since 1997 (and IceIce, because I know that you are an idiot, I will specify that this is on a NOMINAL basis - a head count - NOT U3).

Yes, Trump will get the credit or blame for gas prices, employment figures, beef prices, health care costs, the national debt, and the million other benchmarks that were set over the past eight years.

He will also get the blame for any malfeasance committed by any government employee, and it will be stated as fact Trump gave the order to commit the offense, and his impeachment shall be demanded without delay.

If any American dies at the hands of terrorists, there will be no less than 18 congressional investigations, and whole crowds of people will stand on the corpses and foam at the mouth for a period of no less than four years and blame Trump incessantly. During that four year period, at least two topics a week will be started about the killing, with an initial six weeks of 100 topics per week.

Whenever anything is going well, at least a dozen people will find fault in the good news, and another 20 people will reboot discussions about Things We Blame Obama Trump For.

Fair enough assessment. I think the deciding factor could be Trump involving us in more bloody quagmire wars. Obama was very careful not to commit too much to quagmire wars.

And unfortunately, it does look like Trump is itching for more war. It's very disappointing. But that could be the deciding factor. Brutal bloody war can change many Americans' views of a President.

Given that OBama is the only president in history to not have presided over a single day of peace, I would suggest your characterization is inherently false.

Oh, he bombed more countries than Bush did. I always laughed at the fact the loony Euros gave him a 'Peace Prize.' But he was very careful not committing too much to bloody quagmires. Trump better be as careful. Brutal quagmire wars could sink his Presidency.

You DittoTards just mindlessly parrot anything your MessiahRushie says, no matter how stupid!
Tramp has set what the "real" UE number is, (actually 95.4 million not 96), and THAT is what he will be held to throughout his reign of job killing terror.

JAN. 11, 2017 press conference
TRUMP: There will be a major border tax on these companies that are leaving and getting away with murder. And if our politicians had what it takes, they would have done this years ago. And you’d have millions more workers right now in the United States that are — 96 million really wanting a job and they can’t get. You know that story. The real number — that’s the real number.
