Let’s push for President Trump to push for real statistics on employment and unemployment in the USA.
Jobs. Jobs. Jobs.
The three winning topics for the general election.
If these 94 million people were put back to work, federal tax revenues would increase by roughly $2 trillion dollars per year.
The amount of increased community spending, state and local taxation would be phenomenal.
We would see our nation grow like China is now.
This needs to happen folks.
“Let’s push for President Trump to push for real statistics on employment and unemployment in the USA.”
Don’t worry, the msm will see the light as soon as any non-deomocrat lands in the white house. I watch Robert Reich posts on fb and he is even beginning to raise the discussion of homelessness as if it is a new thing. Tent cities have been cropping up since obama was voted in but one would never know it by the msm.
I’ll say this for Bernie Sanders. He’s the only Democrat with the guts to say that all the happy-talk economic statistics out of Washington are baloney. That real unemployment is at least twice the official rate. His solutions are terrible of course. He’s like a doctor who accurately diagnoses your illness and then prescribes leeches.
If he does that, the unemployment rate will immediately jump to 25% or more, and he'll be blamed for causing the worst jump in unemployment in history.
He'll probably be blamed for causing a depression on his first day in office. That fact will go down in history.
Trickle down poverty.
I’m hoping Trump will hammer home these numbers on the road to the general.
Did not Hillary say she’ll be a continuation of obama? Then specifically calling out the failed policies of obama, and 8 years of cooked numbers to cover it up, will also implicate Hillary.
It also won't be long before we start hearing how zero percent interest rates are hurting people on fixed incomes. I predict this becomes a national crisis January 21, 2017.
Every manufacturing job probably supports another service job. Although I have never seen a study on the ratio of manufacturing to service jobs supported/created. Nobody cares to study such pedestrian things.
He should CONTINUE proclaiming the real unemployment rate throughout the general campaign. He’s been already telling the truth about it through the general.
I can think of no good reason not to count unemployed people as unemployed people.
And, I think a part time job should count only as “half” of a job.
The Labor Force Participation Rate hasn’t budged by much since the 2008 financial crisis. It’s been hovering between 62% and 63% since that time.
Are you pretty sure about those numbers?
That guarantees We the People would put maximum pressure on the next Congress to implement the Trump plan of recovery.
So true. Know way too many college grads who are working temp jobs and supplementing their incomes with a second job at nights and weekends in fast food and retail. Not a good situation.
Every manufacturing job also support a couple of supplier jobs, too. A sewing machine factory has to buy nuts and bolts someplace. (And other items)
If the American People could actually do math, Obama would be seeking asylum on some third-world resort island.
