No, more people are participating now, but the percent of the population participating is lower.
Can you clarify pinqy? The population is probably larger now, but percentage wise less people are employed currently. So we are making a comparision between Bush's highest unemployment rate and Obama's lowest? How is that a fair comparison or even noteworthy?
So you post a link with an obvious misstatement and we're supposed to take you seriously?No, he's looking at a campaign website for Connecticut's 5th district. That isn't the entire country but he's too stupid to figure that out.You inverted your number, it was 4.2
Starting in Jan. 20, 2001, at the beginning of George W. Bush’s administration, the rate was 2.4 percent, but by the time he left in January 2009 it had reached 7 percent. The rate now is 5.9% and is on track to get even lower.
Yeah, I guess what happened 4 years ago means less than what happened 6 years ago.
Still, it's nice to get confirmation from the Left that Obama has not solved anything.
The link was about the unemployment rate in the entire country. Obviously you are too stupid to read the link correctly. That being said, if there is an error it is not mine, its the link. That is why we all should provide links so they can be scrutinized.
However, either way, that still does not detract from the op. Even if Bush inherited a 4.2% unemployment rate it was no where near that when he left office. The unemployment rate under Obama has still declined below the rate it was when he took office.
Yeah, the UE rate is lower now than when Obama took office.
But surprisingly food stamp enrollment, disability, and other measures of government dependence are higher. That isn't supposed to happen.
And all of those jobs only cost us an extra $7 Trillion. A bargain!
At least I posted one. That is something you rarely do! But I can see why. You would likely misread your own links, like you did mine, and you expect us to take YOU seriously?
