Any signs of alarm at the White House yet? Thought not.
Lots of numbers
I wonder what the numbers would be if illegals, who used to work under the table so to speak, and are now out ofwork - what would that number be?
Real unemployment at 25% Lies, damn lies and statixtics per the old quote....
Actual number is 22.4%!
the spin is that this is a decrease over last week’s numbers.
it’s like saying, “A minute ago he Hemorrhaged a pint of blood. Good news — he’s now only hemorrhaging at a .999 pint per minute rate!”
Yeah, right.
10.2% and climbing
All that matters is that another half million jobs were lost again last month, the rest is just spin.
The biggest LIE I read this morning is the ridiculous claim being pushed by AP and Reuters (at the behest of their best friends in the WH) that once we hit 450,000 initial claims we will be entering into a job growth phase. Lie, lie, lie!350,000 initial claims is the magic number before we will see any non-government funded job growth. Stop lying MSM, you can’t fool us anymore!
“THANK GOD OBAMA SAVED SO MANY JOBS!”
So let me get this straight...even when we have 350,000 claims being filed they will call that growth? How?!?
Of course not; they have their own cooked numbers.
I’m the same way.
350,000 NEW claims tells me that 350,000 people qualify for NEW claims.
That’s NOT good news.
was it unexpected again?
lol
Thanks for that bottom line, TexasFreeper2009.

Since Obama’s inauguration the the weekly filings of new unemployment claims has averaged over 500,000 people. New claims represent real job losses as a person cannot claim unless she/he became unemployed. Over 38 weeks since the inauguration this equates to over 19 million jobs lost.
The employment situation is a disaster and continues to get worse. Expect more retail bankruptcies after the holiday season which will result in tens of thousands of additional job losses.

The word was used in the AP "headline" link. Remember the "jobless" recovery that was always in the headlines as the economy grew for most of the GWB years. The DBM is full of disgusting propagandists. They are largely responsible for having a kindergartener become the principal, so to speak.
I’m only trying to remember what I learned in college, but I can tell you I flat out do not believe that ridiculous 450,000 figure. Theoretically I think 350,000 is the number that usually is able to find other work fairly quickly, i.e. less than a month. And if that is the case, and that’s a big if, as that number slowly goes down we should see job growth. I’m only going from memory, if I’m wrong and somebody knows the correct number please tell me.
