[Yo-Yo]

Thank you, Obama!

MSM news-——————>Crickets.

Even liberals have to admit this is very impressive. What is that, a 50 year low???

[Crucial]

This gives Trump a LOT of political leverage.

Yawn. Hypocrites ridicule statistics here then pile onto the statistics when they serve a purpose.

Without the underlying instabilities - such as exhausted benefits, multiple part-time jobs, inability to source work in an area of education, profession or expertise - these stats have as much integrity as the polls which showed Hillary cruising to a win.

I live in a state claiming to have one of the lowest unemployment rates yet in my job I continually experience people who are unable to tolerate any change in their monthly budget whatsoever. My wife cannot find full-time work in her area of expertise. Absent government work or most anything in the medical fields, this rings true almost across the board in every conversation. Job stability is no longer a foregone conclusion: Nomadic employment is the rule not for qualified workers, but for workers seeking to regain the benefits once afforded under an economy long-gone. Very few people I know would assert that they are far-removed from what might be termed “desperation” with even a slight impact upon their employment or expenses.

The reality is that the damage from the past 16-30 years will take a generation or more to correct and, right now...we are on the precipice of disaster awaiting a single event to trigger an inevitable chain of events. Those in government know this all-too-well.

Why do FReepers project ignorance so frequently for a rush of feel-good?

Hey Obama. You didn’t build that!

You can’t tell much from unemployment claims.

Probably 187% of white males have exhausted their unemployment and can’t make any new claims.

Well, of course I don’t know the percentage, but a lot of guys used up their unemployment and dropped off the edge of the world.

Now it remains to be seen if the Goebbelsmedia can convince the Non-Believers that they have been screwed by the tax cuts as it has successfully done.
