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

[Faun]

. For example, the current job market is fairly strong -- even though the lfpr continues to drop.

stupid stupid stupid liberal!! U6 unemployment is 11.2%, about 40% higher than before recession, and income is down!!

See why we say liberalism is based in pure ignorance?

Real Median Household Income peaked in 1999....

Ask that conservative to show you the math he employs to determine 11.2 is 40% more than 8.4...

Reagan struggled with very heavy unemployment in his first term. In fact the highest monthly unemployment rate ever recorded since World War II happened in 1982 while Reagan was in office. 10.8% unemployment in both November and December of 1982. The highest unemployment ever got under Carter was 7.8% in July 1980, only slightly more than the unemployment rate Reagan had in October 1984 of 7.4% just before his landslide re-election.

And if the labor force participation rate was the same today as when Obama took office the actual UE rate would be over 10%. Most of the reduction was people giving up looking for work.

There is no such thing as a constant LPR. And most of the people "giving up" looking for work are retirees who no longer need or want to work. as I have said, everyone knows the drop in LPR is due to the demographics of Boomers retiring but that will only be taken into consideration if a Republican is elected president in 2016 and the LPR continues to drop.

Rick Snyder is running around the country bragging about michigans comeback. The economy is back. If you are unemployed you are a loser. And if you arent making enough dont expect the republicans to give you a raise. You are paid what you are worth.

All of Obamas bad numbers are Bush's fault and sorry if Obama hasn't cleaned up his mess fast enough. Keep in mind you cons didn't even admit we had a problem when bush was still in office. You guys said things were fine when 700,000 jobs a month were fleeing the country. Remember you defended corporations that were leaving because union workers were too expensive. Now you want to cry that wages are down? What an intellectually dishonest fuck.

How long until hillary and bill are back in the whitehouse?

Mrs Bill Clinton would need to be preceded by Reagan policies in order to appear effective as her shameful, impeached husband did. Instead she would have to follow re-Nixon and herself.

Seems the repubs talk out of both sides of their mouths. If the president does do something about unemployment with the powers he has, he is meddling in the business world and needs to stay out of it, but now they want to shame him for doing nothing. His proposals were so shot down at every venue by the right wing. They are the job killers.

The only thing hurting this economy -- and that includes unemployment -- is Obama energy policy.

I saw that coming too. Hilarious.

People were better off under Bush. The UE rate was lower the day Bush left office than at any time under Obama until maybe 6 months ago. And that improvement is solely from people dropping out of the workforce and collecting disability.

You want to take a poll on USMB and ask how the economy that W left crashing has affecting them? Many people, including yours truly, are still trying to recover from the mess that W left.

As having a better UE rate for his term, which happens to be the subject of the thread.
