An old saying, figures don’t lie, but liars figure.

[Don Corleone]

70 to 100 million out of work is “Full Employment” in Obama’s fantasy land. Amazing!

[Lorianne]

If we make all the jobs half-time, we’d be at 0% unemployment in no time!

If that didn’t work, make them all 1/4 time jobs!

[dowcaet]

Even the MSM knows the job numbers are hogwash, but they gotta keep the conversation in a constant spin cycle.

[The Sons of Liberty]

So this is what 'full employment' looks like? [That's essentially what we have today]

Maybe, according to the 0bama regime's fairy tale figures.

I suppose they're designed to help The Beast in her quest to carry on caliph 0bama's policies, but even the moronic dems should know that they are a fraud. Then again, maybe not.

And according to this government table 38% of the labo force is not working.

[Busko]

Smoke and Mirrors!! When there is over 90 million people not working plus most of the jobs are on the non-productive work filed and most of them are part time. There is a serious problem with this so-called president! Tell the truth instead of lying all the time!!!

There are people who wouldn’t take a job if offered $100 an hour to do inventory for a blind liquor store owner.

"Mission Accomplished" banner That is an interesting phrase?

GW Bush had a peak of just over 6% and average under 5%

[a fool in paradise]

And the welfare rolls have never been higher.

[sgtyork]

Think about it. When the economy is really hitting on all cylinders we feel it. There are help wanted signs everywhere, corporate earnings are up. Does anyone other than frackers (god bless ‘em) feel that acceleration?

[TruthWillWin]

Then unemployment figures released are fraud. Does not take into consideration those out of the work force that have given up looking and those underemployed in part time positions.

[Myrddin]

Not full employment. The 4.9% is “first time applicants for unemployment” The number excludes 96 million unemployed or 665,000 jobs lost. Just BS numbers.

[WRhine]

No mystery here. If someone is out of work for more than 6 months they don't get counted in the unemployment stats—and there are many millions of folks that are in this group.

The stats are completely phony and people know it. Going forward it does not get any better since America has been fleeced out of so many industries in manufacturing and hi-tech due to our trade deals there is a surplus of people competing for jobs in the low paying service sector.

[Vaduz]

Government numbers pick one anyone will work just put in the place that makes you look good see Obama&Co.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

There are so many homeless camps right now, but the press is ignoring them.

They won’t notice them ever again until a Republican becomes president.

[CincyRichieRich]

The new full time employment is 28 hrs...
