That's why anyone with a half of brain should have known right away that those job numbers were fraudulent
How do you debate with Jobbers. It is like debating with Birthers and Crazy people. They have no facts they just babble on and on. They make unsubstantiated allegations. This is the way they work. Romney is martian...prove that he is not. The post above and every other post making these stupid allegations are from people operating with half a brain.
Wow! Excellent presentation. I'll save it. Probably close to how "shadow stats" website does it.
Repped!
Interesting to look at Chart G for example. Notice the WP rate doesn't even move a decimal for 3 yrs. Look at U6. Stays exactly 67.1% 3yrs in a row. Also SS, alternate, as far as I know basically adds back in what was changed under Clinton. Here is the desc.
quote:
The seasonally-adjusted SGS Alternate Unemployment Rate reflects current unemployment reporting methodology adjusted for SGS-estimated long-term discouraged workers, who were defined out of official existence in 1994. That estimate is added to the BLS estimate of U-6 unemployment, which includes short-term discouraged workers.
Bull****, me and other posters called you out on this in the other thread. (I wish the mods would do their job and combine all these threads so people could post one time instead of the same thing multiple times to refute the same argument).
It does not suit the agenda, that is why it won't get combined.
The job market is looking to move to almost full employment in most communities in America, Just announced, the unemployment rate is down to 7.8%, almost full employment.
In a country where a large number of people are ESL and lack the communications skills needed to work, or face physical, mental or emotional disabilities, or refuse to move to a community where there are jobs, 7.8 unemployment rate is about as close as you will get in today's world to FULL EMPLOYMENT.
Don't forget that many if not most of the people who are unemployed face physical, mental (intellectual) or psychological issues and are basically unemployable.
Anyone not employed right now able to work must certainly be a slacker of the worst sort.
I can't imagine with all of the opportunities we have many not even taking two jobs.
Surely there is a shortage of applicants due to the massive openings.
May be that some are hesitant due to the recently much increased value of our dollar so what they already have is going very far.
Gas is now cheap due to leasing approval on Federal lands and spurring the economy as travel & recreational activities increase.
Food prices?, they are practically giving the stuff away.
How coould we ever want anyone else to lead us?
Yesterday I saw a gold bar just lying in the street.
Thought about stopping but why waste the time, I have everything I could ever want already.
Wow I am surprised by the number of "Patriotic" Conservatives Americans who are cheering against America. It almost seems that the good news is disappointing to them. Very sad.
