So, 360,000 people applied for unemployment, we gained 115,000 jobs and 520,000 left the job market. Because the job pool shrank by 520,000 (the denominator) the unemployment percentage decreased from 8.2% to 8.1%.

The above numbers come from different surveys. What you have to be aware of is the total job market is decreasing and this is VERY BAD.

This tells us that the job market is getting smaller and smaller. This is lucky for Obama because he can fool MSM and Dummycrats. Obama is saying that unemployment is going in the right direction when in reality there is NO JOB MARKET for people looking for jobs. Only 63.6% of Americans are in the labor force. It is disappearing. 88 Million Americans are not in the job force who should be in the job market. Unfreakinbelievable.

VERY BAD!

I wonder how many of the soon to be and recent College grads will be smart enough to realize that, very likely, because if the way they voted they have very little hope of finding work.

Go to any chain store or other traditional high school/college job location. More and more older people are working PT because they got laid off or need to make ends meet and many of the “temporary” high school/college summer workforce has stayed.
