Yes, of course, because unemployed public sector employees continue to consume, while unemployed private sector employees do not, right?

Demmer Corp 200 layoffs. Public or Private, because it really matters, right?

Bank of America 16,000 layoffs by year's end. Public or Private, because it really matters, right?

American Airlines 4,000 to 11,000 laid off in next 90 days.

Northrop Grumman 600 employees with pink slips

Alpha Mines 1,200 miners laid off.

FirstEnergy Corp 200 pink slips

SEASONALLY ADJUSTED DATA

In the week ending September 15, the advance figure for seasonally adjusted initial claims was 382,000, a decrease of 3,000 from the previous week's revised figure of 385,000. The 4-week moving average was 377,750, an increase of 2,000 from the previous week's revised average of 375,750.
That's someone's idealized version of reality.

Here's the true Reality....

UNADJUSTED DATA The advance number of actual initial claims under state programs, unadjusted, totaled 327,797 in the week ending September 15, an increase of 28,068 from the previous week. There were 353,820 initial claims in the comparable week in 2011.
And you can read the full BLS report here....

....and that's weekly job claims.

So, people ***** that unemployment numbers don't count people who aren't searching for work, and so when the economy improves, more jobs are being offered, and more people start looking for work, more than there are new jobs, and unemployment goes up because more people are looking for work, these same people ***** again? Surely one cannot have their cake and eat it too?

The media is trying to get people to think the economy is getting better because an election is coming up soon. They NEED people to believe the lie. They are pulling out all stops these final 6 weeks to help Barack out.

So we've had 10 years of 'trickle down' with the Bush tax cuts. Where are the jobs?

What's the worst thing that's going to happen from people thinking it's getting better? They're going to start spending money? And that's going to increase velocity and make the economy better?

You're right, let's just be negative nancies until we kick the black guy out.

Only in America could the people who believe in balancing the budget and sticking by the country’s Constitution be thought of as “extremists.”

When Barack Hussein Obama stood before the Nation and told us
That his intentions were to "fundamentally Transform this Nation"
into something else, people said it didn't matter...There ya go

it's about the only thing he's done, and not very American friendly at that

Must have been public. Why just the other day, 0boy said the private sector is doing just fine.

Or would it make more sense that I meant that public sector losses have nothing to do w/ the state of the economy or Obama's policies...

Anyway... keep posting links to data & sites that talk about jobs losses in a vacuum... lol.

Just a couple of days ago the media was having an organism about the census report--- Has US economy bottomed out? Census suggests yes


Unemployment rates rise in half of US states - Yahoo! News
This just means that we need to hire more law enforcement officials and arrest even more people. After all, prisoners don't count in the unemployment rolls, and it takes like 2 years to shake a buggy whip maker off the unemployment rosters these days.
