CHARTS DONT LIE: Job loss stabilized under Obama! (employment, statistics, rating)

[Jonathan_]

1. Jan 2009 - 800,000 jobs lost

2. The massive bleeding stopped Jan 2010.

3. We are now healing.

4. The bleeding stopped under Obama, remember that!

5. That's why the stock market was dropping hundreds of points every day when Obama took over the White House and now the stock market is at record highs.

I haven't seen any threads this week that showed data in a easy to read chart.

UE Rate is still higher than when Obama took office. However, this doesn't stop the cheerleaders.

Remember, when Romer' claimed that UE wouldn't top 8% with the passage of the (**** poor) stimulus?

This thread is hiliarious. Tell your boss in the corps worst year, you'll stabilize operating losses right where they are. See what happens.

Charts don't lie. People making up the charts do lie.

Now I looked up the numbers on the monthly report linked here.

The Employment Situation - January 2012

Page 32, Table B-1 is where these numbers are coming from - Total Non-Farm Payroll.

The seasonal adjusted numbers say...
Dec 2011 - 132,166,000
Jan 2012 - 132,409,000

Subtract the numbers - you get an addition of 243,000 jobs - seasonally adjusted.

Now the raw numbers - NOT seasonally adjusted.
Dec 2011 - 132,952,000
Jan 2012 - 130,263,000

Subtract the numbers - you get a subtraction of 2,689,000 jobs.

Someone care to explain this??

Yeah well I've never heard of anybody paying bills or feeding their kids with stats, but whatever.
Until obama I'd never heard of an anchor baby president, either.
