Below replacement rates, and no reason to expect improvement any time soon
You apparently think Obama is doing a great job, so maybe it doesn’t matter that he isn’t. But if job creation means anything at all to the nation’s economic health - and in fact, it means a ton - he’s going about as bad a job as a president ever has.
Liberals like to say, “Because math!” OK. When the population is growing faster than you’re adding jobs to employ all the new people, what’s that? One of two answers would be acceptable:
1. A crap sandwich; or 2. The perpetual state of the Obama economy, and in September, nothing changed:
Timmy Kaine says that 15 million jobs have been created!
As I understand it, in the last 8 years, official US population has grown about 20 million. So, we’re about 5 million short. Plus all the illegals. And, a lot of new jobs are bad part-time jobs that people take after they lose their good full-time job.
In any event, for Kaine to brag about 15 million jobs is laughable.
The economy created 156k jobs. Hillary has promised to create 10 million over 4 years which is only 208k/month. Last month was awful but it’s not that far from her promise if you consider a good month as the baseline (she is promising a big improvement if you consider 156k as the basis for comparison).
I think I’ve read that if the government stays out of the way the economy will create over 250k/month. That’s what we need as the population grows and it will happen unless the government interferes. So Hillary is saying she WILL interfere with job growth. She just words in a way that excite her supports who don’t understand math and avoid history.
Let's see, higher taxes and more regulations coming with The 'Beast; there'll be a time when we'll long for September's numbers, as fake as they are.
Read the media headlines. A awful job report is being praise as “a solid sign”.
I have tried to find it, and wanted to resurrect it, but have had difficulty in locating it.
Would be great for Trump to use it in an ad.
They only exist on paper, but it’s a start!
We lost 5,000 full time jobs.
We gained 430,000 part time jobs.
Multiple job holders increased by 301,000.
That means the net employment gain was around 124,000 part time employees.
