You get a job! You get a job! You get a job!
5.6%. LOL! Yeah! Right.
Well this might change with oil $$$ falling and less drilling. Less demand for oil pipelines..etc etc etc
“You want fries with that?”
I’ve been hearing the left crow about the length of time that this recovery is taking. The slowest, weakest recovery since the great depression. It’s like being proud that it has taken twice as long to get over the flu and you are still not feeling well enough to go to work.
It’s pretty easy to lower the unemployment rate when you just quit counting millions of people without jobs as unemployed.
Yay! All Hail obamao!
MSNBC should hire Gruber.
The worst part of this entire charade is that those who WANT to work, find themselves having to work two and three jobs to make less than they were making, when working one job just seven years ago! But, hey! The Obama Administration says everything is coming up roses!!
Strong?
So here’s my son’s dilemma. He used to work as a pizza driver if he were between jobs. The boss would give 36-38 hours a week and it was the best way for a young man to pick up fast and decent money to carry him through until he could get something solid.
He’s doing this now. But he’s only getting 6-10 hours. The most anyone is getting is 17.
Why? Companies can’t go over the magic 20 hours before benefits kick in (thanks to Obama), so now minimum wage jobs won’t give you the hours.
The only way to get by is to have two-three min wage jobs, but then the schedules start to conflict. Bosses want their employees to be available.
It’s a real frustration all the way around.
In November 2012, when none of their sycophants in the media called them out for juicing the numbers by dialing the participation to whatever they want, they realized they could keep doing it.
The best proof of their lies is how welfare enrollment matched the job declines and hasn’t changed much since. Real unemployment is still near the original high.
Mt A$$!! Its more like 15.6%. Just look at the want ads in your local newspaper.
I started looking for a job 1.5 years ago (1 if you discount the time off for major medical issues).
But I am not ON “Unemployment”, so I don’t count in these stats.
I could easily get a menial job, but I am trying to get back into the professions.
Unemployment down to 5.6%? Oh, puhleese.
As bad, stating the number of jobs created. It was recently admitted that virtually all of those new jobs created went to foreign nationals, legal and illegal.
What’s it going to take for the American public to finally press the reset button on this criminal party, their leaders, and the RINO GOPe?
93 MILLION Americans OUT OF THE WORKFORCE, and they claim a decrease in jobless numbers....
100 Million not working
From the release:
“Effective with the release of January 2015 data on February 6, 2015, new population controls will be used in the Current Population Survey (CPS) estimation process. These new controls reflect the annual updating of intercensal population estimates by the U.S. Census Bureau. In accordance with usual practice, historical data will not be revised to incorporate the new
controls; consequently, household survey data for January 2015 will not be directly comparable with data for December 2014 or earlier periods. A table showing the effects of the new controls on the major labor force series will be included in the January 2015 news release.”
