Trump Says "Real" Unemployment Rate is 42%

'Trump Says "Real" Unemployment Rate is 42%'

At least Trump is consistent at being ridiculous and wrong.

But you're OK with being fed the 5.3 rate? It's ridiculous.....and wrong

 

[Rotagilla]

the urge to demean is strong in the leftists...

It should be strong in anyone that doesn't want the numbers fudged by someone that appears to be willing to say anything to get elected. Of course, what he thinks will get him elected and what actually will are two different things, IMO.

he was technically accurate.

he also knows there aren't 57 states and that the constitution was NOT written 2000 years ago...That alone exceeds obama's knowledge.



There ARE, however 57 states in the OIC..oops, the kenyan usurper slipped up...

the great "constitutional scholar" thinks the constitution was written 20 centuries ago....pathetic...but the people clapped and cheered...they just HAD to have their "black" president...
LMAO...the "wise latina" sotomayor and good ol joe just stood there and smiled and smiled...pathetic..elementary school students know how many states there are and when the constitution was signed...

 

[nat4900]

Given the IQ of those who support Trump, the 42% fits well within the demagoguery of the Donald.

Trump is a good salesman of delusions.

It's exactly right. U-3 comes with a definition. Go read it.

Trump is one of your standard issue propagandist bullshitters who wants to NOW change the way we measure unemployment so he create the illusion that things are so much worse now, at 5.3%,

compared to every other time the UE was 5.3%.

 

[NYcarbineer]

My mom's retired, I'm retired, my brother works, his wife is retired, my two sisters work.

So there's 50% Trump unemployment right in my family circle, lol.

And btw, that would 0% unemployment by normal measure.

You’re talking about 10% of California’s workforce, maybe 13% …

Don’t forget in the meantime we have a real unemployment rate that’s probably 21%. It’s not 6. I’s not 5.2 and 5.5. Our real unemployment rate–in fact, I saw a chart the other day, our real unemployment–because you have ninety million people that aren’t working. Ninety-three million to be exact.

If you start adding it up, our real unemployment rate is 42%. We have a lot of room. We have a lot of people who want to work. But the good people I want them to come back. And I also want people of great talent to come to this country, to Silicon Valley for engineers. If you go to Harvard and you graduate number one in your class, and you’re from China, they send you home, you can’t get back into the country.

So you end up working for companies in China and fighting us. And they’re competitors of us. They’re trained in our schools. I want people like that to come into this country. And if they want, I want that path to citizenship for these people. So they go to our best schools, they’re fabulous students, they do well, they’re going to be great and we throw them out of the country. It’s ridiculous.


I would probably say he just screwed up on the number in red at 42%............as he had just stated the rate is probably 21%.

Happens all the time.............in the middle of a conversation.............dual numbers in the same answer............Bottom line...........the rates given by the gov't are BS as normal...............and the rate is easily 4 times the number they post and brag about.

No, the DittoTard was just parroting his MessiahRushie.

RUSH: I mean, just the simple math, 92, 93 million Americans, and from there I said, "How many adult Americans are there in our country?" To put that 93 million in proper perspective, 93 million Americans not working. And my always added caveat, they are all eating...the actual unemployment rate in the United States of America is not 5.5%, and it's not 12.5% or 13%. It is 42.9%.

LOL

I'm not sold on Trump. He very well is a Clinton proxy to get her elected....................

The unemployment number is probably a miss speak..............like the 57 states via Obama.................one side poking fun at the other.

The real question is why the Gov't likes to give us unemployment numbers that are BS.................The posted rates are BS and another reason not to trust the gov't.

 

[Moonglow]

So when in US history did every adult in the US have a paying job?

 

[BULLDOG]

I felt the same way when Reagan was president. After 26 weeks of unemployment, you no longer existed.

 

[Katzndogz]

Even using the few figures he cites, I'm trying really hard to determine how he arrives at the idea that 134 million people are out of work.

Record 93,770,000 Americans Not in Labor Force; Participation Rate Remains at 38-Year Low

A record 93,770,000 Americans 16 or older did not participate in the nation’s labor force in July, and the labor force participation rate remained at 62.6 percent, a 38-year low, according to data released Friday from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).

The 93,770,000 Americans not in the labor force are those individuals who did not have a job and did not actively seek one in the past four weeks. This measure increased by 144,000 individuals over the month.

The participation rate, the percent of the population who participated in the labor force by either having a job or actively seeking one in the past four weeks, remained unchanged from June to July at 62.6 percent. This metric hasn’t been this low since October 1977, when it was 62.4 percent—a span of 38 years.

Record 93,770,000 Americans Not in Labor Force; Participation Rate Remains at 38-Year Low

The Labor Participation Rate and the unemployment rate are NOT the same thing. You know this. The labor participation rate is predictably declining as boomers retire. And peaked in about 2000.

Retirement does not affect the labor participation rate. Labor participation are those people who would like to participate, but can't.

I don't agree............In the same answer he gave half the number............I see it as a miss speak and nothing more. But I do agree real unemployment is around 20% or so....................

Bottom line............our country needs jobs.............not more added to the 92 million idle for various reasons. All of those are not idle BTW..............it is a way to get a better since of what is really going on.

"drumpf truck"
juvenile and pathetic.

Later in his comment he said the correct numbers..It was a simple mistake...nothing like 57 states/the constitution is 2000 years old obama claimed...a mistake is one thing..not knowing how many states there are or when the constituion was signed is entirely different.
get over yourself..

Why do you leftist like shipping in immigrants to take American jobs? Sounds anti-American to me

How is firing hundreds of thousands of high paid builders/pavers of infrastructure, laying off millions of high paid scientist from our scientific institutions and gutting our investment into r&d going to add jobs???

South Asia isn't something we should strive for.

it's not the jobs they care about....it's about purposely skewing the demographics and keeping wages low so they will be dependent on gvt handouts. It's a method of grooming future dem voters so they can maintain their power a little longer

How do you plan to change this??? You do realize that in the 40's and 50's we had far more workers, far larger middle class and still taxed the top 5% around 60%+. We have to make it hard for them to outsource jobs to other countries.
