Jobs report is not good: it may be as low as 140,000 although

Why are you "Evil Conservatives" constantly trying to Talk Down the Economy? This is the Summer and Fall of Recovery.

Bush.
Racism.
Bruce Jenner's Cawk.

Wasn't this the seventh summer of recovery?

Clementine, you are a sheep, then, an unbalanced ideologue who fears context. Shameful, because you are a smart person.

No, Clementine is right. You just enjoy ignoring the facts.

This was quite a summer

The best of Obamas presidency

The Civilian Labor Force is defined as citizens, who are either employed or unemployed looking for a job, are at least 16 years old, are not serving in the U.S. armed forces and are not institutionalized. The U.S. government and private sector currently employs 141.8 million people. The four major subcategories are: (1) 22 million federal, state and local government employees and an estimated 10 million contractors who work for the government, (2) 68 million full-time private sector employees, (3) 27 million part-time private sector employees, and (4) 15 million self-employed workers. There are 16.5 million unemployed and underemployed people who are looking for work. - See more at: Bureau of Labor Statistics | Jobenomics

That 16.5 million people represents the U-6 rate, which was 14.2% when Obama became president, 17.1% at its peak from the Great Recession, and is currently at 10%. In June, there were 16.5 million. There are currently 15.7 million, or some 6 million fewer than the 22 million Bush handed him and 10.6 million fewer than the recession swelled number of more than 26 million.

So even by that metric, Obama has improved the job situation.

Americans tend to over emphasize one statistic—the U3 rate or “official” unemployment rate (highlighted in yellow). Following the official U3 unemployment rate, the U1 (long-term unemployed) and U6 (total unemployed plus marginally attached and part-time workers) are the rates occasionally mentioned. The Not-in-Labor-Force category is almost never mentioned in the media or used in policy-making, which is wrong headed from both employment and economic perspectives. The Not-in-Labor-Force (93,636,000) is over 10 times the size of officially unemployed (8,951,109) and exerts much greater strain on the U.S. economy. Not-in-Labor-Force people tend to remain unemployed much longer—often for life. The BLS reports[4] that 94% of Not-in-Labor-Force currently wants a job or desires to be in the U.S. workforce anytime soon. - See more at: Bureau of Labor Statistics | Jobenomics

The media rarely talks about it since, unlike the unemployment rate, it doesn't indicate the health of the job market. You expect the media to resort to rightwingnut talking points?

As shown above, shortly after the Great Recession, the U3 rate reached its peak at 10% in October 2009. Since then, the U3 rate has dropped to 5.3%, which represents 7.1 million less unemployed Americans—seemingly good news. During the same period, 10.9 million citizens voluntarily departed the work force—many to the netherworld of perpetual unemployment and welfare. Consequently, while America decreased its number of unemployed by 7.1 million, it increased the number of its non-working, able-bodied, adults by 10.9 million, for a net loss of 3.8 million employed workers—not good news. From an overall labor force perspective, the U3 rate is a relatively poor indicator and undeserving of the amount of attention it receives.

You may believe your own lies but don't expect others to be as stupid as you.

Not everyone who is not in the labor force is "able bodied." That's where the chart above crumbles to pieces and the blog you've fallen in love with proves to be a worthless hack like you. It's counting 100% of the not in labor force as "abled bodied persons" and is not considering the fact that there are tens of millions who are disabled, plus tens of millions who are too old to work, plus tens of millions who do work but don't report their income.

That chart .... like the blog you cut & pasted it from .... like you .... is a complete farce.

The BLS reports that 94% of Not-in-Labor-Force currently wants a job or desires to be in the U.S. workforce anytime soon.

That's not true...in fact the opposite...94% say they do NOT want a job.

Goes to show just how ass backwards that blog is and why bedwetter is a complete idiot for accepting everything they post there as though it's factual.

And here's the key to this .... notice how bedwetter relies on a blog he found which echoes his nonsense rather than post from the BLS directly because prefers the spin the blog puts on the numbers. It doesn't even matter to him that the spin that blog puts out is bullshit.

Economists tell us that the economy must create **at least** 150,000 jobs per month to keep up with the number of people entering the job market.

Iraq cost 3 trillion. Was it worth it?

No major terrorist attacks in 14 years. You tell me.

Iraq was never part of the first attack.

We should be swimming in jobs with all the job bills Republicans have passed. And how many have they passed? Well, let's put it this way. They hate Obama more than they love America.
