Jobs in Obama's America: A national crisis and disgrace

Oh course the deception you are using covers-up that there are more private sector jobs today than when Obama took office. The private sector has grown.

It's gov't that has shrunk and killed your "participation rate". The biggest net loss and drag on the economy has been local, state, and federal gov't budget slashing.

YOu beg for smaller gov't, and then cry when there are less jobs. Typical.

 

I guess the nut-wings can't attack Obama for the dropping unemployment and improving economy so they have to make a desperate grasp for something to try to spin a negative story.

 

Awesome. Thanks for the daily comic releif.

Anyway, it's seems fairly obvious that as the baby boomers retire that the participation rates will decrease. I don't see how this is a particular health indicator for the broader economy. It's an interesting stat, but like ALL stats, any one stat doesn't mean all that much. It requires critical thinking to understand context.

if life could be fully explained with stats, anybody could be an investment banker. In fact, we wouldn't need people at all ...all trades could be programmatic with software.

 

Yes, you and all the people who supported Bush are extremely long on excuses.

 

Thats no excuse it the truth

 

The republicans keep asking for smaller government and when it leads to less jobs well then they cry about less jobs. Republicans are just r****ded when it comes to any sort of logic.

 

There's no logic involved in it. They are power-hungry and will do whatever it takes to get that power back, including attempting to drag out the recession.

 

Ha! That was great. And very accurate...

 

Baby boomers retiring will cause the participation rate to decrease ...is an excuse?

 

This is the whole problem.

 

on cnbc this morning they are talking about how companies are making record profits. the stock market is back on track. so what's the problem with unemployment.


employment apparently was one of the more bloated numbers in recent years. quite simply companies are making the record profit with less employees. they have no incentive to hire right now. welcome to the new economy unfortunately we have clowns who are a lot smarter than their agenda would make them to be who try to blame obama for a paragdim **** in the labor force.

 

why? apparently a lot of households can get by with one person employed

 

Yes, we should re-hire some of the teachers, police, and firefighters that the Republicans have forced us to lay off over the last few years.

 

uppity negro?

 

Jobs are obsolete. Outsourcing with instant world-wide communications, globalization of manufacturing lowering laborer pay and productivity increases from information technology are eliminating jobs at a rate the US has never experienced before.

Just holding an employment rate (or participation rate) at this point is a major positive.

Me, I'd tax every financial transaction (bond sale, stock sale etc.) a tiny fraction and spend, spend spend on education, modernization and infrastructure that would provide good jobs now and insure the US remained the world's leader:
wind farms, power grids, roads and services to the burgeoning new energy sources, robotics, wi-fi coverage etc. etc.

 

First of all, that's a horrible graphic from the OP - 3% change on something in the range of the 60s should not be represented on that scale, it vastly overstates the case.

Secondly, for those who say our unemployment rate is because of government job loss...how many jobs should the government produce when we have massive levels of debt?

 

Who's controlling congress
