Carly Fiorina is just plain wrong on this 'fact'

Quote:
Lately, Fiorina likes to say: "92% of the jobs lost during Barack Obama's first term belonged to women."

She said it Thursday morning on CNN. She said it Wednesday night at the debate, and she wrote it in an op-ed published in the Wall Street Journal earlier this week.

On the wrong-o-meter, this gets a 10 out of 10.

Carly Flea Arena lies. Hillary lies. Looks like things are balancing out nicely. I would love to watch that debate.

What has anyone said on any debate stage (both Dem or Repub) that was factually correct and not spun or distorted in some way to make the other look bad? This is like complaining about the arctic water being cold.

In Barack's economy, two part-time jobs is the same as a full-time one. Also there is no such thing as a "woman job" unless you are talking about having babies or swinging from a stripper pole. CNN if full of baloney to say any job is "male dominated". This is not the 1950's.

The BLS counts full-time and part-time separately. One can also cut the "Barack's economy" nonsense. The counting method hasn't changed under Obama.

Unemployment Rate, Full-Time


Unemployment Rate, Part-Time

Then, we have a combination of the two:
Full-time and part-time employees

You are not allowed to question her on that. That would be a non-substantive left-lib "gotcha" question attack.

She doubled down on it today; with the qualifier that things have 'leveled off'. But she stands by that 92% number no matter what the facts say.
