wow. 18,000 net jobs. That’s insane. Absolutely unfathomable....even with the disastrous economic policies. We are really sitting in a depression at this point...IMO.

Welcome to QE3 what will they call it. Obama is priming to go after the unemployed vote. It will be 30% by the election. Added to the Communist base it may be enough to win.

“The average American does not view the economy through the prism of GDP or unemployment rates or even monthly jobs numbers,” Plouffe said. “People won’t vote based on the unemployment rate, they’re going to vote based on: ‘How do I feel about my own situation? Do I believe the president makes decisions based on me and my family?’”

So when you factor in those who have given up looking for work and the underemployed that give you a rate of what? 25-30%? Disgusting. Why do we even measure unemployment to exclude these people other than to benefit incumbent politicians?
To: magellan
Obama’s unemployment will be key in 2012
