Unemployment rate drops to 3.8%

[Rustic]

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.

How odd.... 83% of the drop in black unemployment occurred under Obama's presidency; yet nary a peep from the brain-dead right. Why is that?

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.

That is a total crock, employment is a LAGGING indicator.

Na, Socialism is nothing but lag...

[Some Guy]

Any politician is going to take credit for anything good that happens on his watch and will explain away anything bad that happens. You're all rubes for thinking the president has some substantial impact on a whole bunch of economic factors. The shit that really impacts businesses on a day to day basis is legislation, stuff that the president only has influence but not control over.

A guy lost his career and takes two part time jobs to get money coming in so Obozo counts that as two jobs created.

Nope that is a Limbaugh Lie! Only the job that they worked the most hours is counted as a job created.

/----/ Limbaugh lie? I never heard him say that. Here is my source: 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.

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.

Looks like about 85% of jobs created under Obama were FULL TIME!!!

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.

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.

And employment continues to grow under Trump at the same pace it grew under Obama....

... what took you dolts so long to notice?

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

LOLOL

The same could be said for Trump.

WRONG, we can list a long list of Trump decisions and policies that drive economic growth. You can't and have not listed Obama's. Those are the facts, run and hide.

more bad news for our friends on the left
the unemployment rate was 3.8 percent, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday.

Donnie Dirt Bag himself says that number is FAKE!
He says the real number is the "not in labor force" total which increased by 170,000 causing the LFPR to drop another .1%
Donnie Dirt Bag's unemployment percent is due to loss of available workers.

JAN. 11, 2017 press conference
TRUMP: There will be a major border tax on these companies that are leaving and getting away with murder. And if our politicians had what it takes, they would have done this years ago. And you’d have millions more workers right now in the United States that are — 96 million really wanting a job and they can’t get. You know that story. The real number — that’s the real number.

Wait you guys are now using that number? that's hilarious...you ignored it for Obama's entire term.

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.

The odd thing here is that 3 to 4 percent of the USA can not work for some reason. Thus to continue with economic expansion workers must be imported somehow

The pain lefties are in because of good news, examples right here in this thread, they can’t stand good news. Pretty sad group.

Dummy, pointing out facts is not evidence of "pain".

Good news are good. But Trumpsters keep insinuating that Trump caused that. Data shows he DID NOT.

Just look at job growth under Obama and Trump. Look at the corresponding drops in unemployment. Do you see any Trump effect? The answer is simply NO, the trend is the same since 2011.

There you go, thanks for another example.

I knew you were lying when you said you were off to work on the other thread we were on.

Lol! Yeah, I posted one four minutes after the last post, you caught me! You haters got to hate.

Hi you dumb illiterate, ignorant fucking racist.

Go ahead you dumb illiterate fuck. Tell us. While a pathetic ignorant fuck like you giggles at that, please tell me...

While you are ignoring the facts with that, tell us who rewrote the Community Reinvestment Act which put pressure on banks to lend to low income neighborhoods you pathetic fucking loser.

Now back to the Pelosi and the democrats taking over congress from 2007 to 2010. What did the economy do during that time you stupid ass demented ignorant ass.

Go ahead and tell us what the economy has done since republicans started winning congress back from 2010 till now you piece of shit.

When one party takes a majority in congress, it doesnt have an immediate effect, especially when the opposing party holds the executive branch. Only after legislation takes affect, does any impact occur, and that requires the president signing off on legislation.

2nd, the CRA causing the mortgate meltdown is a myth: read the causes of mortgage crisis.

Trump has already improved the numbers more than Obama during his whole term.

Not bad, that's a real president right there. No fake...
