I watched a few minutes of Shepard Smith and some blonde piece of talking furniture trumpeting this garbage earlier today. They can do it with straight faces, too.

Low unemployment usually means rising interest rates...

So, get ready!

Capitalism better start to produce more and better jobs or more and more people are going to turn to government. Unemployment is not the friend of the GOP.

I've sold stuff on-line for many years now..........

I can say without hesitation...

Since two years into Obama's presidency...my sales have dropped off horribly.

Use to be I'd be taking 10-15 packages every week...to the USPS. Lucky to take 2 every other week now.

We aren't getting the right employment numbers...from Washington.

Like that's a surprise!!

There are some jobs out there.A friend’s son just graduated from a vocational school.Eight days later he got hired for his first job,starting pay is 31K.Not too bad for 18 years old.

Was talking with my parents this morning.

The number of active jobs in the United States grew by roughly 9.75% each presidential term from 1960 through 2000. (approximate average)

One eight year term would see another 19.75% (approximately) new jobs added to the nation’s work force.

Starting in 2000, that abruptly stopped. Bush in two terms added 0.85% jobs overall. Obama’s first term in office wasn’t much better. I believe it was something like 1.5%.

Through 2012, there had been three presidential terms with an overall increase in our nations private sector and federal government sector jobs, falling behind the 29.25% increase that would normally be expected, to just a little over a 2% increase.

When talking about jobs, they play with the people who are still looking. They don’t address all the jobs that failed to be created in the U. S.

This is all a big scam. We are at least 30 million jobs short of where we should be at this time, and I’m pretty sure it’s more in the neighborhood of 40 million.

5.8% unemployment? That is so bogus it should be actionable.

If you're in the technology, commercial airplane and finance industries, you're doing well. But everything else--it's bad and getting worse.

We're heading for a situation like the fictional Panem from The Hunger Games trilogy--great in a few places, but everywhere else....

Capitalism can’t do it in this country anymore. It has been deliberately sabotaged by a government bureaucracy and mindless electorate that sees the creation of wealth as evil.

We have passed the fabled “tipping point”. There are more than enough people getting money and other things from the politicians they can vote into office than there are people supplying those things via wealth creation.

We can’t blame this on capitalism, though that is exactly what Obama and people like him want to do.

As far as I can tell, everyone took the week off because of the Independence Day holiday. Not much reason to show up to work these days.

The U.S. economy fell off a cliff once it was clear to job creators that a communist was likely to win the 2008 election.

It got worse when OZero seized the auto sector and the banks. It’s only been getting worse ever since.

I don’t believe even one “net new job” has been added since 2008. In fact, I am pretty sure we’ve been losing jobs at a fairly steady pace.

Of course there are, but the key word is vocational school. Businesses are waking up, finally I guess

Actually it started in 2007 when the Rats took over the House and the Senate and than kept the Senate until the 2014 election
