Unemployment numbers is and has been a big lie. But let's not kid ourselves; both (major) parties know it's going on and do nothing about it.

Perhaps......

But there is this from the most corrupt administration in my time....

"1. "In the home stretch of the 2012 presidential campaign, from August to September, the unemployment rate fell sharply — raising eyebrows from Wall Street to Washington.

2. ...— from 8.1 percent in August to 7.8 percent in September — might not have been all it seemed. The numbers, according to a reliable source, were manipulated..... the Census Bureau, which does the unemployment survey, knew it.

3. .... two years before the presidential election, the Census Bureau had caught an employee fabricating data that went into the unemployment report, which is one of the most closely watched measures of the economy.

And a knowledgeable source says the deception went beyond that one employee — that it escalated at the time President Obama was seeking reelection in 2012 and continues today."

Do you have similar data for the other side?

I read enough to know that the unemployment numbers were fudged more than normal in the run-up to the election; but that was not what the OP was about. Certainly, the most corrupt regime we've seen to date imo.

Is that why they kept trending down after the election?

I wouldn't know. I don't tend to pay too much attention to phony numbers. But even if so...that's not a logical argument that numbers weren't fudged, d-bag.

Of course the RWnuts think the numbers were fudged. We understand that. You're a quaint little sub-culture that provides much entertainment for the sane.

"so a dropping unemployment rate..."

Are you actually that dumb????

It's a fabricated statistic!!!!


Are you still leaving breadcrumbs to help you find your way home?

how is it fabricated? the methodology and metric has been the same for years and years and years.
what makes it fabricated now?

Get ready for more zingers! PC's fav technique for not answering questions. Get ready for some 1920's insults

*Why I oughta...*

Answer questions whose answers are already spelled out in the OP??????

Why?

OK, OK....my tolerance for idiots needs work.
Forebearance is not one of my gifts....seems I don't suffer fools gladly.

well here's the thing, you can disagree with how it's measured, but that doesn't make it a 'fabricated' statistic.

Fabricate: To concoct in order to deceive


Once you remove all those who aren't working, why....the unemployment number is zero!!!

[PoliticalChic]

I recall jobs (allegedly) going up at a clip of about 80K to 130K and the unemployment rate somehow going down against the standard trend of 200K jobs created to keep the unemployment rate the same. It's obvious to any non partisan that the numbers were being manipulated. Your attempt to make this a matter of mere sources is lame. Nobody care's about your courtroom ploys if at the end of the day you're more interested in selling a narrative than ascertaining the truth.

Except that figure of 200K is pure baloney. The real number is around 85K.

Hmm.. no. Your apologists weren't making that point at the time. They were alleging the reason to be a drop in unemployed people looking for jobs; and therefore, they didn't count. Have you already forgotten your central lie? No surprise really.

Actually that was the lie made up by the Right. In fact the Right still spew that lie.

Obama has been an unmitigated failure, both domestically and in foreign policy.

That is the reason for your affection for him.....birds of a feather and all.

Out of curiosity, was Bush aslo an unmitigated failure? What would make him more successful? TBH, I don't see big differences in the two. (And that's pretty funny considering how the left thought Bush was the devil; and the right thinks Obama is the devil).

4. When Obama took office on Jan. 20, 2009, the debt was $10,626,877,048,913.08. Since then, it has increased $7,514,567,086,650.22--which is $65,443 per household, $70,985 per full-time worker and $84,266 per full-time private-sector worker.

5. (CNSNews.com) - The federal government drove $789,473,350,613.20 deeper into debt in calendar year 2014, an increase that equaled $6,875 per household, $7,458 per full-time year-round worker, and $8,853 per full-time year-round private-sector worker. According tothe Treasury, the debt started calendar year 2014 at $17,351,970,784,950.10 and ended it at $18,141,444,135,563.30. Under Obama Federal Debt Up 84 266 Per Full-Time Private-Sector Worker CNS News


6. Food stamp recipients up 49%


7. Debt held by the public is up 89%


However, the Obama administrationrecently projected an annual deficit of $750 billion in the fiscal year that began Oct. 1, and $626 billion the year after. At that rate, the debt owed to the public will more than double during the Obama presidency.

As of 2012, according to the most recent figures reported by the Census Bureau, median (midpoint) income for all U.S. households was $51,017, which was 4.9 percent lower (in inflation-adjusted dollars) than it was in 2008, the year before Obama took office.

The same story applies to family income, which includes many families with two earners. (The “household” figure includes single persons living alone, as well as families.) Median family income in 2012 was $62,241, or 5.1 percent below the inflation-adjusted 2008 level.

The number of persons living in poverty also worsened again in 2012, according to the most recent Census figures.


8. As of last year, 46,496,000 persons lived in households with income below the official poverty line, an increase of nearly 6.7 million since 2008 and 249,000 since 2011. The total poverty rate remained unchanged in 2012 at 15 percent of the total U.S. population. So for the second straight year, the poverty rate was 1.8 points higher than it was in 2008.

Hmm.. no. Your apologists weren't making that point at the time. They were alleging the reason to be a drop in unemployed people looking for jobs; and therefore, they didn't count. Have you already forgotten your central lie? No surprise really.

Actually that was the lie made up by the Right. In fact the Right still spew that lie.

Obama has been an unmitigated failure, both domestically and in foreign policy.

That is the reason for your affection for him.....birds of a feather and all.

Out of curiosity, was Bush aslo an unmitigated failure? What would make him more successful? TBH, I don't see big differences in the two. (And that's pretty funny considering how the left thought Bush was the devil; and the right thinks Obama is the devil).

Since then, it has increased $7,514,567,086,650.22--which is $65,443 per household, $70,985 per full-time worker and $84,266 per full-time private-sector worker.

According tothe Treasury, the debt started calendar year 2014 at $17,351,970,784,950.10 and ended it at $18,141,444,135,563.30. Under Obama Federal Debt Up 84 266 Per Full-Time Private-Sector Worker CNS News


6. Food stamp recipients up 49%


7. Debt held by the public is up 89%


However, the Obama administrationrecently projected an annual deficit of $750 billion in the fiscal year that began Oct. 1, and $626 billion the year after. At that rate, the debt owed to the public will more than double during the Obama presidency.

As of 2012, according to the most recent figures reported by the Census Bureau, median (midpoint) income for all U.S. households was $51,017, which was 4.9 percent lower (in inflation-adjusted dollars) than it was in 2008, the year before Obama took office.

The same story applies to family income, which includes many families with two earners. (The “household” figure includes single persons living alone, as well as families.) Median family income in 2012 was $62,241, or 5.1 percent below the inflation-adjusted 2008 level.

The number of persons living in poverty also worsened again in 2012, according to the most recent Census figures.


8. As of last year, 46,496,000 persons lived in households with income below the official poverty line, an increase of nearly 6.7 million since 2008 and 249,000 since 2011. The total poverty rate remained unchanged in 2012 at 15 percent of the total U.S. population. So for the second straight year, the poverty rate was 1.8 points higher than it was in 2008.

1. "The Big Lie: 5.6% Unemployment

2. ... many Americans -- including some of the smartest and most educated among us -- don't know: The official unemployment rate, as reported by the U.S. Department of Labor, is extremely misleading..

3. ...much celebrating from the media, the White House and Wall Street about how unemployment is "down" to 5.6%. The cheerleading for this number is deafening.

4. ....anyone is unemployed and has subsequently given up on finding a job -- if you are so hopelessly out of work that you've stopped looking over the past four weeks -- the Department of Labor doesn't count you as unemployed.

5. ....unemployed as one can possibly be, and tragically may never find work again, you are not counted in the figure we see relentlessly in the news -- currently 5.6%. Right now, as many as 30 million Americans are either out of work or severely underemployed.

6. -- maybe someone pays you to mow their lawn -- you're not officially counted as unemployed in the much-reported 5.6%. Few Americans know this.




7. The official unemployment rate, which cruelly overlooks the suffering of the long-term and often permanently unemployed as well as the depressingly underemployed, amounts to a Big Lie.

8. ...a lie that has consequences, because the great American dream is to have a good job, and in recent years, America has failed to deliver that dream more than it has at any time in recent memory.

9. ....quit wondering what hollowed out the middle class."
The Big Lie 5.6 Unemployment



On your knees, Liberals.
You did this to America.

I came here to post the same material you have, PC. Good work! Here is the last of that article from the posted link:

"There's no other way to say this. The official unemployment rate, which cruelly overlooks the suffering of the long-term and often permanently unemployed as well as the depressingly underemployed, amounts to a Big Lie.

"And it's a lie that has consequences, because the great American dream is to have a good job, and in recent years, America has failed to deliver that dream more than it has at any time in recent memory. A good job is an individual's primary identity, their very self-worth, their dignity -- it establishes the relationship they have with their friends, community and country. When we fail to deliver a good job that fits a citizen's talents, training and experience, we are failing the great American dream.

"Gallup defines a good job as 30+ hours per week for an organization that provides a regular paycheck. Right now, the U.S. is delivering at a staggeringly low rate of 44%, which is the number of full-time jobs as a percent of the adult population, 18 years and older. We need that to be 50% and a bare minimum of 10 million new, good jobs to replenish America's middle class.

"I hear all the time that "unemployment is greatly reduced, but the people aren't feeling it." When the media, talking heads, the White House and Wall Street start reporting the truth -- the percent of Americans in good jobs; jobs that are full time and real -- then we will quit wondering why Americans aren't "feeling" something that doesn't remotely reflect the reality in their lives. And we will also quit wondering what hollowed out the middle class."

Would you like to see a similar list with examples of Obama's unmitigated failures in foreign policy?

Yes, the lasting effects of the Bush economy have been tragic.

Yes Bush was listening to the wrong politician, when Bush wanted to look into Freddie and Fannie.

"The more people, in my judgment, exaggerate a threat of safety and soundness, the more people conjure up the possibility of serious financial losses to the Treasury, which I do not see." Barney Frank....September 10, 2003

"These two entities, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac---are not facing any kind of financial crisis." Barney Frank...September 11, 2003

"I believe there has been more alarm raised about potential unsafety and unsoundness [of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae]
than in fact, exists." Barney Frank...September 25, 2003


"Fannie and Freddie are fundamentally sound, they are not in danger of going under.....I DO think their prospects going forward are very solid." Barney Frank....July 14, 2008

The ones who caused that catastrophe are a good deal brighter than you: they have buyer's remorse.

You haven't caught on to what a terrible mistake you've made.

Probably because you are a terrible mistake.

Poor dingbat thinks cheating is reserved only for the people that vote a certain way. Thats what you call a deep thinker

I provided this in post #16....

"1. "In the home stretch of the 2012 presidential campaign, from August to September, the unemployment rate fell sharply — raising eyebrows from Wall Street to Washington.

2. ...— from 8.1 percent in August to 7.8 percent in September — might not have been all it seemed. The numbers, according to a reliable source, were manipulated..... the Census Bureau, which does the unemployment survey, knew it.

3. .... two years before the presidential election, the Census Bureau had caught an employee fabricating data that went into the unemployment report, which is one of the most closely watched measures of the economy.

And a knowledgeable source says the deception went beyond that one employee — that it escalated at the time President Obama was seeking reelection in 2012 and continues today."
Census 8216 faked 8217 2012 election jobs report New York Post




Let's see you do the same for the other side.

One google search would've saved face but you enjoy being duped

The U.S. Census Bureau said Tuesday that a source named in a New York Post story claiming it had "faked" unemployment data hasn't worked at the Bureau since 2011.

A Census spokesperson confirmed to Business Insider that the Census Bureau employee quoted in the story, Julius Buckmon, has not worked there since August 2011. This was first reported by CNBC's Steve Liesman.

The Post story never mentions this fact.

Humble pie coming right up!

"....And a knowledgeable source says the deception went beyond that one employee ...."


Maybe, as is the case of your cerebral cortex, no one worked there, huh?

So you post an article claiming some guy fudged the numbers in 2012 who was fired in 2011 and your response is what? SOMEONE worked there...?

I recall jobs (allegedly) going up at a clip of about 80K to 130K and the unemployment rate somehow going down against the standard trend of 200K jobs created to keep the unemployment rate the same. It's obvious to any non partisan that the numbers were being manipulated. Your attempt to make this a matter of mere sources is lame. Nobody care's about your courtroom ploys if at the end of the day you're more interested in selling a narrative than ascertaining the truth.

No your attempt to ignore the sources from the OP 's article that claimed the guy who manipulated the numbers didn't work there. For some reason the guy who manipulated the numbers not being employed there is not a big deal.

I'd love to see that used in other situations.

Get ready for more zingers! PC's fav technique for not answering questions. Get ready for some 1920's insults

*Why I oughta...*

Answer questions whose answers are already spelled out in the OP??????

Why?

OK, OK....my tolerance for idiots needs work.
Forebearance is not one of my gifts....seems I don't suffer fools gladly.

well here's the thing, you can disagree with how it's measured, but that doesn't make it a 'fabricated' statistic.

Fabricate: To concoct in order to deceive


Once you remove all those who aren't working, why....the unemployment number is zero!!!

so it has always been a fabricated number?

If your brain exploded, it wouldn't even mess up your hair.
It’s too bad stupidity isn’t painful.

Is anything about you original?
