The UE number dropped because the number of Americans trying to get a job also dropped...
And the Libs are hoping more of the same so they can chalk up another success for Obama....
That sickens me.
Did you not read what I wrote about that? Of course not - you were too busy calling me a stooge.
917,000 discouraged workers in December, down by 151,000 from a year earlier.
Well the BLS has you beat.
In November there were 91,283,000 people not in the workforce, by December the number rose to 91,808,000. An increase of 525,000. In November the amount of discouraged workers was 762,000, by December, the number rose to 917,000. That's an increase of 155,000 in a one month time span, Cabbie.
But of course, lets not deal with the facts here.

Over-the-month changes are not displayed for not seasonally adjusted data.
That statistic is not seasonally adjusted - it always goes up in winter.

It's never as much about the math as it's about who's doing the counting.
I'm still waiting for the 48 million Americans that did not have healthcare sign up....
Where are they?....
They should be signed up now... no?
It was the driving force to implement ObamaCare...
MSNBC trying to insinuate that cold weather is the reason for low jobs numbers
It also affects your brain. “The brain is very sensitive to temperature and during extreme cold, it is depressed, producing impaired judgment
The problem for Republucans is that they will run on ....your insurance sucksDude, you guys are going to get hammered, go ahead and bookmark this thread.
Save your rose coloured glasses for your buddies. If the Tea Party had not acted like complete nit-wits, you would have had a shot.
obama lied and millions of insurance policies died I understand this.
We'll see how that fleshes out. My guess is that people will be mostly insured by November and will have much better coverage than the high-deductible, no physician, low cap policies that they thought were actually insuring them. The tax breaks for those without employer participation are going to seal the deal.

In that case, a calculator never lies, unless you make it.

When people ask....what do you have to offer that is better?
Republicans will answer......nothing
We have the worst job participation numbers since 1978. The economy sucks. Anyone who says otherwise is a partisan hack.

Not true, they are now offering up other "versions" of Obamacare, that are not quite so Socialist.
And 86 million of them say they don't want a job, 3 million haven't tried to work in over a year, half a million couldn't take a job if offered, etc.Does it really matter about how low the unemployment number goes if so many Americans are no longer in the work force?

I don't give a god damn what you wrote
92 million Americans are not working
This is where Republicans falter...
They cannot offer up "versions" of healthcare without feeling the wrath of the TeaTards and rightwing media
Any Republican who sticks their neck out advocating healthcare will find it chopped off

It's not because they are of retirement age, but do keep trying.

The number I mention was people of working age not students or handie cap.Where do I say anything about retirement age?

It's not because they are of retirement age, but do keep trying.
Then there are 23.1 million disabled (all ages). 14.3 million students age 16-24.
6 million of those not in the labor force say they want to work, but half haven't done anything to get a job in over a year.
The people you mention are those age 16 and older who are not in the military or prison, or in an institution. So yes it includes students and disabled not living in an institution.The number I mention was people of working age not students or handie cap.Where do I say anything about retirement age?

Are you suggesting that these people are freeloaders? living on government welfare?
