Ummm that chart does not show the change in unemployment, nor the employment-population ratio at all. I have no idea what numbers you think support your position. Or contradict the chart which is pretty clear.U.S. National Debt Clock : Real TimeWho said anything to cheer about? Again....you are WRONG to say that growth has not kept up with population growth. It has.so after 7 years....Which is why the numbers are seasonally adjusted. The unadjusted change in jobs for Sept-Oct was 1,152,000, adjusted down to 271,000 because most of those jobs were because hiring always goes up in October.it's holiday season, so duh, people get hired.
No, the number of unemployed has gone down by about 1 million. And the employment-population ratio has held steady for over a year, so employment is keeping up with population growth....October last year it was 59.5%, and it was 59.5% this October.and as a reminder, again, job 'growth' isn't keeping pace with population growth, so more people are UE now than last year
That is nothing to cheer about.
