The federal government’s Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes monthly tallies for the employment-population ratio. That stat shows something rather straightforward: Among those who are living in America and are free to pursue employment, what percentage are employed? (The bureau excludes those who are under 16 years old, are active-duty military, or are — in the bureau’s own words — “inmates of institutions (for example, penal and mental facilities, homes for the aged),” from its tallies.)
Over the past quarter of a century (a total of 300 months), dating back to May 1987 and the Reagan administration, here are the 30 worst months (that is, the bottom 10 percent) for the employment-population ratio, along with the president who happened to be in office at that particular time (scroll down to the see the list):

he ought to be ashamed
Is that BEFORE all the lies and data manipulation...or AFTER?
And during American Idol they showed the 4.5 million jobs created, private sector improving video several times.
It’s all graphical data showing how Barry has lead us through the “ Red Sea”
caused by Bush, and is delivering us to the promised land.
Closing line in essence “ Why Change Now”
That is even WITH all that. Still that bad after they try to fudge it.
I’m trying to work on the math for that many jobs created versus new jobless claims of 350,000 or more every week since he’s been president. Don’t think it comes out in his favor.

Thanks.
have the same gut feeling . they are very good at giving data but leaving out
the counterbalance that would show a different story.
Just like the old clinton “ I wasn’t alone in the building “ or “ depends on what the meaning of is - is “
I think they site the BLS Bureau of Labor Statistics as their source on the opening slide.
I wonder why they stopped at 25 years. Should have gone back at least to 1929.
Obviously it is BEFORE as Idi Obama has an ad running showing a graph with magnificent job growth as compared to the Bush years.
Chihuahua (as in hairless) Biden even used the same graph to show all the job losses under Bush and how, before their policies took effect, it was still abysmal. But, boy oh boy, once their policies were implemented job growth has exploded!
4.25 million new jobs since DUH Stimulus!
Yes, but he is clean, well spoken, and has such a nice smile.
Probably should have been a parking lot attendant.
And don’t forget Obie’s main accomplishment re: the US’s former status as a superpower.....
ending the US space program, much to the glee of China, Russia and our ‘other’ enemies.
Everything you listed are goals of the CPUSA.
The commies endorsed obama in ‘08 and are endorsing him this go round.
What’s sick is that our country used to fight against communism. We lost a lot of good Americans in Korea, Vietnam and other places around the world to defend freedom and blunt communism. Democrats and Repubs had their differences domestically, but came together to fight communism.
Now here we are with a commie in the White House who is carrying out all the wishes and plans of the communist party of the usa with the full throated support of the US media. The same media that is protected by the 1st ammendment and they still can’t see that their guy will crush them given the chance.
BIG GOVT JOB INCREASE BUMP

I wouldn’t even let him near my car.

They are Useful Idiots. Once they are no longer needed, they’re eliminated.
