The President with the worst average unemployment rate since World War II is?

[U2Edge]

How many Presidents were able to drop the unemployment rate 4% during their presidency?

Lol ! Are you sure you wanna go with that ?

Who wouldn't?

We gage a president on what they were given and what they did once they took office. Dropping unemployment 4% is outstanding

Its easy to drop the unemployment rate when people leave the work force. If the labor Force Participation rate were still as high as was on average under Bush at 66%, the unemployment rate would be over 10% right now. People who leave the labor force are not counted in the figures and there are millions of them. The labor force Participation rate is now at 62.8%, the lowest its been since 1977, nearly 40 years ago. It also marks the first major sustained drop in the labor force participation rate since numbers started being recorded in 1948.

 

[The Rabbi]

Is it better to drop the UE rate from 20 to 16% or from 6 to 4%? Dont think too hard about it.

Labor Force Participation rate has been dropping for 15 years. It has been expected to drop for the last 50 years. Stop using it as a crutch

FALSE! The labor force Participation rate had been gradually increasing from 1948 through the year 2000. It only dropped slightly under Bush from the peak levels under Clinton. The average under Bush is equal to that under Cliinton. Obama is the first President to register a significant drop in the labor force Participation rate average!

Its not crutch, just a basic fact that you ignore. If the labor Force Participation rate were still at 66% when Bush left office, the unemployment right now would be over 10%. The drop in the monthly unemployment rate last month from 6.7% to 6.3% was largely due to people leaving the labor force, not jobs being added.

Labor force participation is on a downward trend for the next 20 years...get used to it

What you are failing to mention is how hard it is to boost employment numbers while you are simultaneously slashing government employment and government spending

Ah...didn't the Obama Stimulus increase government employment and spending only to have unemployment go up substantially?

See, here you are repeating things that you ought to know aren't true. The rate was steady under Bush, declined tremendously under Obama.
You lie.

In reality, unemployment started to drop shortly after the stimulus passed and hasn't looked back since

But of course you already knew that

[edthecynic]

Up until Obama The President of the United States was accountable for many things....

Obama is not it seems....

What a load of Bushshit!!!!

Let's see,
the 2001 recession, Clinton's fault
9/11, Clinton's fault
no WMD, the CIA's bad intel
the housing bubble burst, Carter's fault
the unemployed doubles from 6 million to 12 million, Congress' fault
the stock market loses half its value, Obama's fault
And saving the best till last,
the banking crash of 2008, the fault of the Dodd/Frank Act that was not proposed or signed until 2010!!!!!!!

Doesnt matter. Even if you start it 1/09 Obama experienced a far more severe drop off of work force participation then Bush.
Quit lying. Just stop it.

Bushshit!

The steep drop started in 2008 when the first Boomers became old enough for early retirement at 62 years old. It has been following that same trend line ever since and it will continue on that same line until all the Boomers have retired.

The LPR is a nearly worthless economic indicator because it is mostly effected by demographics, like birth rate, retirees, and immigration, than economic conditions.

FACT: Bush's last full month in office saw a labor force participation rate of 65.8%. April 2014 labor force participation rate was 62.8%! That's a full 3 point drop in just roughly 5 years. It is the largest and fastest labor force participation rate drop EVER!

Well, you better get used to it until the boomers get done retiring. It is going to get worse before it gets better

But Republicans have a plan. They will stymie the economy so Boomers can't afford to retire
