Jobs Report is a joke.

[240 is Back]

Don't forget convientely waiting until the end of the year to "withdraw troops from Iraq" announcement.....nothing to do with the election, it was just time. 

I thought the SOFA for Dec 31, 2011 was announced by W the same day a dude threw a shoe at him?

That date was very solid.  Obama got hated on for 'taking credit for bush policy' on it.

Let's put things in proper perspective.

Here's what President Osama and his team of human cockroaches decided to do:

320,000 or so people gave up looking for work completely

120,000 or so jobs were added ( most of them seasonal)

These two numbers were added together and then deducted from the overall number of unemployed Americans--- Which by some miracle led to a downtick of nearly half a percentage point in the unemployment rate.

Are people seriously this fucking stupid? This isn't even partisan bickering, difference of opinion or any of the other typical dirty tricks+ grandstanding that is carried on by both parties.  This is outright fraud-- and to wit, its fraud that a trained monkey could figure out while counting on his fingers and shitting on the floor. The mainstream media is complicit in this criminally transparent deception and has once again shown itself to be functionally irrelevant.

Just a question:

where does this "320k" figure come from?

How is it calculated?

Its the number of people coming off the UE rolls.   They are considered no longer looking for work by the BS BLS.

so then they no longer get unemployment checks and are not counted in the UE %?

[Soul Crusher]

so then they no longer get unemployment checks and are not counted in the UE %?

Correct.  And they are not looking for work any more accordng to the BLS.   


Anyone kneepadding this report is beyond brain dead.     

[OzmO]

Anyone kneepadding this report is beyond brain dead.     

So basically UE increased by 200k?   lol

[OzmO]

did their UE checks/benefits just run out?

[Soul Crusher]

So basically UE increased by 200k?   lol

Actually?   Yes.  

The real number to look at is the Labor Force Participation Rate which fell.   There are less people working as a static and real number while every month about 125k new entrants enter the job market looking for work.    

[Soul Crusher]

did their UE checks/benefits just run out?

Yes.  99 weeks and done.

Bush agreed to do that before Obama was in office LOL, it had nothing to do with Obama making it happen, it was already arranged.

now, now....you're just applying logic and reason....pretend to be on Fox and Friends....it all gets played on barry!

True. Yet, the media will credit the withdrawal to Obama because Democratic party supporters have very short memory and no attention span. There already have been people on this forum posting reports from internet news websites when he announced the withdrawal and claimed it to be a great foreign relation job by him. Please. How can he get any credit when the previous president had set the timeline and all Obama had to do was wait?

[dario73]

UE rate is 8.6% under obama, 11 months out from re-election.

UE rate was 8.3% under Reagan, 11 months out from election (12-1-84)

UE should rise in a few months after the Post Office lays off 100k employees and the temp holiday jobs end.


If people really believe that 8.6% is a real number then they deserve another 4 years of garbage. What a nation of morons!

The ISM Service Sector numbers were released this week as well and the results were plenty below "expectations". And the one of the biggest things the report showed was that the service sector was negative in employment areas....which is strange seeing as though the service sector added "jobs" in the latest ADP report.

Strange indeed. I bet the networks will be burning the midnight oil getting to the bottom of this

temp holiday jobs do not qualify for UE benefits, they will just disappear into the job market/numbers game.
