Unemployment rate drops to 3.8%

[BluesLegend]

Trump bests Obama again just 2 years into his first term

He bested reduced unemployment from 10% to 4.5%?

Oh no wait, all he mostly did was ride where "Obama economy" headed us when 4.5 kept going down to 3.8.

Awe do you have sour grapes libs? Poor Obama he had 8 years to pull off a 2 year recovery, slowest post recession recovery of all time. Trump takes over and the economy takes off embarrassing team Obama.

LOLOL

A two year recovery?

Looks to me like employment has been growing at the current pace for the last 8 years now...

... what took you so long to notice?

The American people disagree with you, the kicked Obama's policies and Dem's to the curb in favor of Trump.

The majority voted hillary....

No they didn't, Trump won 30 states can you count?

/----/ And another outrage:
1960 World Series
Pittsburgh Pirates over New York Yankees (4-3) The Yankees scored 59 runs in the 7 games while the Pirates only scored 29 runs and yet the Pirates won the World Series. I am outraged. It's time to change the way world series are calculated.

LOL okay libwit tell us specifically what Obama policies resulted in the growth? Here I'll just laugh in your face now knowing you can't answer

Black unemployment at all time lows. Thanks trump.

You mean, thanks Obama, right? Of the 11 point drop in black unemployment, from 17% to 6%, 83% of the drop occurred while Obama was president

In six years, 100 percent will have occured under trump.

LOLOL

How is it rightwingnuts suck so bad at math?

Eight years of unprecedented growth at the lowest levels exceeds the previous 8. Thats elementary math.

/----/ The irony is not lost on us that you use the same numbers to bash Trump that you once ignored to celebrate Obozo.

And the irony is not lost on us that you use the same numbers you once bashed Obama with to now celebrate Donnie Dirt Bag.

/----/ Funny how that works - eh? BTW - I think the way the UE is calculated is inaccurate and should be changed, but Trump and Obozo are being judged by the same standard.

If they're both being judged by the same standard, where were the cheers for job growth from the right during the 7 years in this chart in the blue region, which was Obama's terms?

/----/ The cheers were lacking because of the low quality part-time jobs Obozo's economy was creating. A guy lost his career and takes two part time jobs to get money coming in so Obozo counts that as two jobs created. Trumps jobs are full time jobs across all sectors. I hope that clears things up for you.

Why can't you rightards post without lying?

Here's what you call part time job growth during Obama's recovery...

Full time jobs: +14 million

Part time jobs: - ¼ million

There were actually fewer part time jobs during Obama's recovery and all of the job growth during that period was full time.

/----/ Why can't you libtards post without lying?
Nearly 95% of all new jobs during Obama era were part-time, or contract

EconomyDec 21, 2016 12:23AM ET
Nearly 95% of all new jobs during Obama era were part-time, or contract
Investing.com -- A new study by economists from Harvard and Princeton indicates that 94% of the 10 million new jobs created during the Obama era were temporary positions.

The study shows that the jobs were temporary, contract positions, or part-time "gig" jobs in a variety of fields.

Female workers suffered most heavily in this economy, as work in traditionally feminine fields, like education and medicine, declined during the era.

The research by economists Lawrence Katz of Harvard University and Alan Krueger at Princeton University shows that the proportion of workers throughout the U.S., during the Obama era, who were working in these kinds of temporary jobs, increased from 10.7% of the population to 15.8%.

Krueger, a former chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, was surprised by the finding.

... and actually claim it happened under Obama's watch despite his policies while it's happening under Trump because of his policies.

Well here are the REAL numbers from the BLS.

Full time jobs Jan 2009, 115,818,000 and Jan 2017, 124,625,000

Part time jobs Jan 2009, 26,377,000 and Jan 2017, 27,363,000.

more bad news for our friends on the left

Payrolls rise by better than expected 223,000 in May, jobless rate drops to 3.8%

The U.S. economy continued to add jobs at a solid clip in May, with nonfarm payrolls up 223,000 while the unemployment rate was 3.8 percent, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday.

Economists had been expecting payroll growth of 188,000 and the jobless to hold steady at 3.9 percent.

The unemployment rate was last this low in April 2000.

It means NOTHING...according to your messiah,Trump.

Trump Says the Unemployment Rate Is Bogus -- and His Labor Pick Puzder Agrees

And he is right. The U-3 is a complete joke - I say it now and I said it when Obama was in office.


A FAR better way to determine unemployment in America is the Employment-Population Ratio.
And though it did go up this month (up is good), it is no better then it was back in September. And it is NOWHERE NEAR as good as it was right before the 'Great Recession'.

Notice: Data not available: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics

May was a good month for employment in America. But any of you who think the employment situation is even as good as it was before the Great Recession are dreaming/uninformed.

Obama's pork-filled $1 Trillion 'Jobs-Creation' Stimulus vowed to keep unemployment below 8%...

Under Obama, 'the 1st Black President', black unemployment was almost TWICE that of whites, and many progressive groups declared President Obama did little to nothing to help the plight of blacks.

Like it or now, acknowledge it or not, President Trump has succeeded in improving / turning the economy around on multiple fronts:
- He has forced the re-negotiation of better trade deals for the U.S.
- He has reduced tax burden on Americans - more $ in their pockets
- He has negotiated the return of U.S. companies from overseas
- He got businesses to give bonuses, raise pay, and create more jobs
- He has lowered unemployment
- He has reduced the number of Americans on Welfare
- He has lowered the number of Americans on Food Stamps

And WHILE he has been doing this, the American people have watched the Democrats:
- Publicly declare their 100% commitment to Obstruct the President
- Declare the bonuses/increased pay received are insignificant 'crumbs'
- Vow to RAISE taxes resulting in loss of pay increase/bonuses/jobs
- Promise to Impeach the President based on zero evidence of crimes


EVERYTHING the Democrats have vowed to do if they take power is all about their return to power and acquiring control again and nothing to do with serving the people, helping them to become more prosperous and independent, or making America great again. They are about making the 'DEMOCRATIC Party Great Again', taking back power, and imposing their will on the people.

Democrats thrive on division and emotional manipulation.

For example, Latinos finally realized the Democratic Party cared more about having a divided America on the 'Dreamer' issue and to have the ISSUE to run and campaign on than they cared about actually SOLVING the issue. When Given the opportunity to address and resolve the issue Democrats walked away from the table.

Every time their is a mass shooting or other negative event Democrats rush to 'not let a disaster go to waste' by fanning the flames of / manipulating emotions experienced immediately after the event in order to further agendas.

As Progressive Liberal Gruber was repeatedly exposed as saying, Democrats rely on their base's ignorance (created through controlling public schools / colleges and their propaganda-pushing Liberal media) and how easily they can be emotionally manipulated.

For decades blacks have been loyal to the Democratic Party, handing over their own independence in exchange for free social program handouts and decades of emotional and racial manipulation and division.

There is an old saying:

'Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.'

Obama proved that even with a Black President the Democrats would not act in blacks' best interest, would not work to lower their unemployment and help them become more independent, more successful. It took that Black President (Obama) leaving office and the GOP - Donald Trump being elected - for the plight / status / life of blacks to improve to this point:

'Black unemployment rate hits new record low'

Maybe NOW they will realize, like the Latinos did, that Democrats do NOT have their best interest in mind. they TALK a good game but don't walk the walk.

Way to ruin a good argument with Liberals by injecting facts.

Since Obama actively took steps to make it more difficult for people obtain employment, any improvements were despite Obama's policies, not because of them, jackass.

After the financial crisis, unemployment rates should have went down nearly as fast as they went up. But they didn't.

Obama fucked the US economy.

I know you prefer a FACTLESS source that supports your lies rather than actual numbers directly from the BLS that tell the truth when the truth contradicts your lies.

There were 8,807,000 FT jobs created and 986,000 PT jobs for a total of 9,793,000 jobs. That means 89.9% of the nearly 10 million jobs created were FT.

Prove the numbers from the BLS wrong with real numbers from a named source.

Since you are probably too STUPID to figure out how to use the other link I provided, I am posting links to each type of job separately.
