U.S. Added 292,000 Jobs In December:

[Rustic]

unemployment rate steady at 5 percent.

....................70th consecutive month of job growth. The highest in years.

CHART IS NOT UP TO DATE BUT SHOWS CONTRAST

Shitty numbers, most unemployed don't even show up in those numbers they gave up even looking for jobs years ago. Now they live on the dole.

Typical of socialism

Lol

No unemployed show up in those numbers at all because they are not numbers on unemployed. They are numbers on jobs.

Hence the numbers are made up...

 

[edthecynic]

I just wonder how many of those jobs were temporary positions for the Christmas rush (meaning that those people will be added to the unemployment figures this month)...

And how many are part time.

You know, if you uninformed wing-nuts were not so lazy, you could look up the info yourselves!!!!!!!
If you did, you would know that the 292,000 is the SEASONALLY ADJUSTED number which DEDUCTS the temp Christmas workers.

You would also learn that PT workers who want FT work DECLINED by 63,000 in December.

There is no way that number can be accurate. I suspect the data will be revised, re-revised, etc, etc.

Just curious.....do you think the totals it shows when Obama took the helm are accurate? Shucks...we may discover some kind of conspiracy attempting to make Bush look bad......LMAO!!

Here's the article. I wonder what they meant when they said, "Crushes Expectations"

December Jobs Report Crushes Expectations, With 292,000 New Jobs

Obama also credited himself with bringing peace to Syria. Thank God for Obama. Now all of those "refugees" can go home.
Stop being stupid Campbell. It January. All of Santa's elves have been laid off till next Dec.

You wait till Hillary Clinton wipes you rich folks sympathizers off the map in November then gets reelected in 2020. That 20 20 has a good ring to it don't you think?

Obama will go down in the history books as a lot more than the first Black president and nobel prize winner. It will show that in the face of all kinds of adversity he ended Bush's wars and didn't get thousands of young Americans killed in some goddam forsaken desert ten thousand miles from home. Just think...if Obama had spent a couple of trillion dollars on wars the way Bush did we would be in a debt hole.

If the numbers weren't seasonally adjusted then you might have a point. But they are adjusted so...

I am always suspicious of seasonally adjusted. Why adjust anything? Just let us assume that more jobs were added because of the holidays.

They do? Since when?

Since the BLS has been keeping that statistic!
DUH!!!

So why have more part-time jobs been added since Ohbummer took office than full time jobs? You keep citing stats that you apparently cannot comprehend.

Of course. On multiple occasions, the federal govt has released stats that have on the surface made the Regime look good., Then once they have made it through the news cycle, have been 'revised'. Meaning, the REAL figures had been released. And this is typically done on the weekend.

Meaningless number when other numbers are excluded.
Even the stock, commodities and currency markets ignored the release of this figure and maintained the present slide.

They also appear in the tiny articles you find in your business section of the newspaper located on the back pages.

I did notice that this particular figure was exclusive of "seasonally adjusted" jobs figures.

Great news...sort of, but what about that darn worker participation rate? Ever heard of it?

The Obama regime won't touch that one

We are in a debt hole. 18tr deep. Not to mention more trillions created out of thin air by the fed. It's way to early to start lauding Obama's legacy. This countries heading for a blow up, the dems are hoping it won't happen before the election, but make no mistake we are in serious trouble.

The jobs numbers are revised for the prior two months, up or down, when this data is released monthly.

That's nothing!!! George W. Bush last month in office saw employers 598,000 jobs.

15 years of war, trillion dollars worth of tax breaks and our healthcare system is killing this country. We'll even deader if we cut into infrastructure, science, r&d and education as we'll never have a chance to recover with such idiocy.

Infrastructure and tech are huge sectors of our economy.

But employment usually goes down in December, not up.
