Certainly not the best.
The economy sputters and all economic numbers are lies.
Any happy face on these numbers by talking heads is based on fake numbers and formulas put together by politicians
Why is it surprising that the number of people who get out and file for jobless claims increases when the weather improves?
Yep. When you add in the cooked books and the fact that the number is low because it doesn’t count working age people who have given up looking for work, the number is truly depressing.
There’s that ‘U’ word again.
Some people think they'll be able to keep these balls in the air forever...
Our economy is in the pits because we have exported far too many America jobs.
We import everything.
Mostly we import from China. We sent millions of American jobs to China.
Now no Americans are building the things we buy. They are going on unemployment, and Chinese workers are building most of the things we buy here in America.
This is an economic catastrophe, and a big problem as China grows ever stronger.
We need jobs. Here.
Bring back American factories.
That is, the use of the word 'unexpectedly' in financial headlines covering bad news.
Just knowing that a part time job is considered just as employed as a full time job is just about all you really need to know about these numbers.
Just knowing that “unemployed but not looking for a job” is NOT counted as unemployed is case closed — you know all you need to know about these numbers.
After five years of Obama and his dismal job creation month after month, how can another raise in unemployment claims honestly be called “more than expected”?
You would think after 6 years of this that they would stop being surprised at bad news. I expected it. I’m sure most people expected it. I expect the same unexpected result next month. I’ll be surprised if it improves.
More precisely that would be:
"the use of the word 'unexpectedly' in financial headlines covering bad news PERTAINING TO BARACK OBAMA."
Nobody is in before “unexpectedly”.
Thing is, job creation could be at a high, but so is the population. Using small numbers, I see what is happening this way:
In the past, 100 people would enter the workforce via age, graduation, whatever. At the same time 95 to 105 jobs were created. This means that the number of jobs continually goes up, and the number of people entering the workforce goes up by about the same amount.
Now we have a situation where we have “more jobs than ever”, but we also have “more people than ever”, and at a rate growing faster than the number of jobs. e.g. now when 100 people enter the workforce, only 60 jobs are created.
You can’t do that for very long before the concept of compounding really destroys the culture - and in the process, the country.
We are actually watching it play out not just in the US, but in the entire civilized world.
If they used factual data then “unexpected” would never be a factor.
“Unexpected” this should be the default theme of the omama administration. If it isn’t already.
Its certainly what rat journalists keep using.
