And right on queue, Dumbo is floating idea of Stimulus 2. The Democrats are done for November. I guess the meme we had with Clinton is, “Well at least he is doing something”. That model is not working, people are not buying effort, just results, and Boy Wonder gets a solid “F” grade. Sorry Obama epic fail. And for you DU lurkers, yes we are willing to accept and encourage bad news on the economy if it means preserving our country, we are willing to starve you into submission. The whole thing is imploding right around your smug over-educated heads. Come on 10% let's do it! The more Union workers and drones out of work and scrounging around the better. Next time you won't be such covetous lazy pieces of human debris and delight in stealing the work and treasure of others now will ya.

Because they play a shell game with the numbers, duh.
Seriously, they are not consistent in their math.

... when the numbers are close to 500,000 each week...

A lot of people are not picking up on this number or understanding its significance. I know it took me a while.
This country is bleeding jobs and all D.C. can think to do is spend, spend, spend with a steadily deteriorating taxable base.

They hid that pretty well in the article didn’t they.

Only someone (like us) that follows this pretty closely would know that it actually went up from 9.5%

What are the average weekly numbers during 5% unemployment?

Just curious...

exactly.

4.3% unemployment when Bush was President = worst economy is the great depression.

~10% unemployment when Obama is President = summer of recovery.

Keep in mind the ~500,000 in job losses each week has to be matched up with the creation of jobs, which is almost as high. It's the difference between the two that yields this 54,000 number. Too many people treat the weekly job losses report as if there were zero jobs being created on the other side.

Obama is giving us enough real bad news, we don't need to invent any fictitious bad news to go along with it.

I think you’re misunderstanding the numbers. The 500k (approx) number is new unemployment claims, but there’s also a similar number of new hires every week, it’s not that another net 500k are jobless each week. This number today is that net monthly number, which actually was not that bad. When you net out the census workers, private payrolls rose 67 k in the month, and last month was revised better too.

The problem is many of those “created” jobs go to illegal workers and not citizens.

At some point the tax revenue collected by the feds and states will drop to the point where their ineptness will dawn on them ..I HOPE

Of course I’m not kidding. The monthly number is that a net 54k fewer people were employed this month than were last month. That’s rather different from two million, if it were 500k a week with no compensation on the hiring side. Then if you net out the Census workers who were fired last month, Private sector hiring has risen by 174k in the past two months combined. These are real stats, no one is in the tank for anyone, if they were they wouldn’t look as ugly as they do.
