Nope, those are the victims of GOP economic policies.

And this includes all the retirees, all the people who have given up looking for jobs, and all the new college graduates coming out with their degrees, and finding nothing. It does not include the new college graduates getting jobs... sweeping floors.

See that upswing after 1/10- that's when Pubs became able to end the Obama recovery with disfunction and obstruction. Not a single Obama policy passed since...Great job!
With no mindless debt crises, eat our dust...lowest UE signups since 2007, all job losses from Bush Great World Depression have now been made up...etc etc- but not on your idiot planet.

why???

The United States attracts capital not only because of lower taxes, but also because of greater U.S. consumer wealth and labor productivity. At purchasing power parity—GDP adjusted for differences in exchange rates and price

"Since President Obama came into office in 2009, 7.2 million people have left the workforce entirely. One out of every six men aged 25–54 is not working. Employment in this group fell by 72,000 last month, while the number of employed women aged 25–54 fell by 37,000. Meanwhile, the workforce participation rate for women is at its lowest level in 23 years. Median household income is down almost $2,300 from what it was when the President took office. Real wages are lower than they were in 1999. Growth in the first quarter of this year was negative.
"These numbers are grim and make clear that this economy is nowhere close to performing at an acceptable level."

Do the math!

10k/day means 3,650,000 per year retire. Obama has been in office for 5+ years so technically that would be over 18 million who have left the workforce.

The math doesn't lie but politicians do so all the time for partisan purposes.

What part of:

One out of every six men aged 25–54 is not working.

don't you understand ?

Or are red herrings something you do for a living ?

It takes over two years even for a corporate project go from planning to the actual implementation of the project.
We are creating more oil because of the Energy Bill enacted in 2005, but it took us 9 years to get to that point...

All the jobs lost during the Bush cataclysm have now been regained, Public Sector included.

The deficit is going down.

And the government has shrunk..

Gee willikers, isn't that what Conservatives wanted?
