"The U.S. economy added just 38,000 jobs in May, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics — far fewer than the 160,000 that economists had anticipated. NPR business editor Marilyn Geewax called the number "shockingly low." The unemployment rate declined by 0.3 percentage points, the Bureau says, to 4.7 percent — but that can be attributed to people dropping out of the workforce, Marilyn says.
The number of workers who would like to work full-time but can find only part-time work increased by nearly half a million, to 6.4 million, the BLS says."

total number of US jobs outsourced (overseas) in 2015 is 2,382,000.
So Obama created 38000 jobs....mostly low wage....
You call THAT "full employment"???
4.7% unemployment. Payrolls rise to 38,000. Thanks, Obama!!!
Not even the NYT is buying this nonsense -"The government reported on Friday that employers added just 38,000 workers in May, a significant slowdown in hiring that could push back a decision by the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates, as the economic recovery appears to have stalled.
The official unemployment rate, however, dropped to 4.7 percent, from 5 percent, mostly a result of people dropping out of the labor force"
Sharp Fall In US Hiring Lowers Chances of Rate Hike by Fed...
Remember these come at a cost to society not produce for society, and sadly they tend to pay MORE than the private sector that supports them.
No Obama let alone Bush, Clinton, etc have NOT don't a good job despite the illusion people are believing as they tune into their favorite mass media outlet that FORMS OPION rather than INFORMING OPINION.
"Go back to bed, America. Your government has figured out how it all transpired. Go back to bed, America. Your government is in control again. Here. Here's American Gladiators. Watch this, shut up. Go back to bed, America. Here is American Gladiators. Here is 56 channels of it! Watch these pituitary retards bang their _______ skulls together and congratulate you on living in the land of freedom. Here you go, America! You are free to do what we tell you! You are free to do what we tell you!” " -- Bill Hicks
Another thing.. I have many friends working toward entrepreneurship. Their competition is in the CORPORATE realm which obviously has a competitive advantage with things such as PRICE.
Will they survive competing with these corporate giants in a clearly FASCIST system where corporate lobbyists PAY OFF CONGRESSMAN?
It's all so disheartening and disgusting I want to throw up. Maybe WALMART is hiring. Or wait they are putting in more self checkout scanners.
Like they care about providing JOBS for people.
Keep feeding the machine. Our leadership has sold out America for GLOBAL interests.
