Trump's Magical Unemployment Rate

[pinqy]

Why does the way we calculate unemployment have to change? We've always counted unemployment the way we do.

/----/ no it's changed over the years.

And yet you provide no evidence to support your claim. Link to the changes.

/----/ Don't Be Fooled, The Obama Unemployment Rate Is 11%

Fail. Your link just says that we aren't counting the numbers which means we are counting the numbers under Trump either. We are counting the numbers the same way we've always counted them and your link says nothing about it being changed

/----/ There are plenty more articles out there if you're interested in the facts. See how it was counted in the 1960s Unemployment Rate | President : Lyndon Baines Johnson

That's a very misleading article. Let's look at the exact definition of unemployed until 1967:
Employment & Earnings July 1965
Unemployed Persons comprise all persons who did not work at all during the survey week and were looking for work, regardless of whether or not they were eligible for unemployment insurance. Also included as unemployed are those who did not work at all and (a) were waiting to be called back to a job from which they had been laid off; or (b) were waiting to report to a new wage or salary job within 30 days (and were not in school during the survey week); or (c) would have been looking for work except that they were temporarily ill or believed no work was available in their line of work or in the community. Persons in this latter category will usually be residents of a community in which there are only a few dominant industries which were shut down during the survey week. Not included in this category are persons who say they were not looking for work because they were too old, too young, or handicapped in any way.

This definition obviously had some problems. "were looking for work" is very vague, and "would have been looking for work" is very subjective. In 1967 the definition changed.
Employment & Earnings July 1967
Unemployed persons comprise all persons who did not work during the survey week, who made specific efforts to find a job within the past 4 weeks, and who were available for work during the survey week (except for temporary illness). Also included as unemployed are those who did not work at all, were available for work, and (a) were waiting to be called back to a job from which they had been laid off; or (b) were waiting to report to a new wage or salary job within 30 days.

And the current definition, as of 1994 is:
Unemployed persons. All persons who had no employment during the reference week, were available for work, except for temporary illness, and had made specific efforts to find employment some time during the 4-week period ending with the reference week. Persons who were waiting to be recalled to a job from which they had been laid off need not have been looking for work to be classified as unemployed.

The definition really hasn't changed that much. The Portal 7 link tries to imply that the U-6 definition was previously used, but Marginally Attached was not a category before 1994.

So this is what he said in February 2016:

"Trump, Feb. 9, 2016: I am going to be the greatest jobs president that God ever created. Remember that. Don’t believe those phony numbers, when you hear 4.9 and 5 percent unemployment.

The number’s probably 28, 29, as high as 35. In fact, I even heard recently 42 percent.

Do you think we’d have gatherings like this if we had, if we had 5 percent unemployment, do you really think we’d have these gatherings?"""""
Trump Wildly Inflates Unemployment - FactCheck.org

Now six months later Trump's unemployment rate has dropped from 40%+/- to 4.3%.

I'm just amazed that his sheeple don't hold him accountable for such lies he used to get their votes.

/---/ He needs to change the way UE is calculated.

He was lying then and he's lying now, mostly about everything every time he opens his mouth.

/----/ Why is the MSM giving him a pass on the UE numbers?

There are so many lies, it's become impossible to call each and every one.

It's been seven freaking months and lefties are still whining about the election while the DOW is consistently in record territory. Lefties used to dance in the streets when the DOW advanced five or ten points during the stagnant Obama years.

You do (or should) know that you're just a useless fuckhead, don't you?.......140% increase under Obama.

 

[NYcarbineer]

So the real unemployment is currently 40%, if you believe Trump?

/---/ actually Obozo stopped calculating the numbers for those whose UE benefits ran out. That's how he kept the rate down. Now prove he didn't

You've completely failed. You can't link to how we have changed the way we calculate unemployment because you made it up. No, it wasn't different when the black guy did it.

Nope, election is over and you dupes are not going to hold him to it - you seem to enjoy the bullshit he feeds you.

Bails, stimulus, quantitative easing, low interest rates - ANY OF THAT RING A BELL?

Trump? Mostly ran his mouth.

/----/ so corporate welfare and free money is the secret to a rising Dow. So why is the Fed raising rates? Why do libs demand an end to corporate welfare?

Reduced regulations do little for the working person, sure do help the rich, am not seeing much consumer confidence, prices for every thing keep going up, wages stagnant for most working people.

DONALD LAMBRO: Obama hides jobs failure by not counting long-term unemployed

“Right now, we’re hearing much celebrating from the media, the White House and Wall Street about how unemployment is ‘down,’” he says.

However, “None of them will tell you this: If you, a family member or anyone is unemployed and has subsequently given up 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. Mr. Clifton says.
