What did he even say?? I couldn't watch. He is sooooo full of it!!! "Yeah, we are gonna create NEW jobs.... we're gonna bring jobs BACK to America.....blah blah blah blah....."
He said the same thing in past state of the union speeches . The jobs is a joke. There have been more lost jobs then new. And these 8 million jobs are probably minimum wage jobs started by people who couldn't find work so they started new businesses
"6.7 unemployment rate" --- Do you NOT understand or "get" the fact that "unemployment is down" because millions are no longer collecting benefits becuase extended benefits were stopped???? DO YOU GET IT NOW?????????? Unemployment is NOT down.... the number of people COLLECTING unemployment is down because benefits were cut!!!!!!!!!!! Is that confusing to you??
Where are you that so many people are getting "new, better jobs"???
It went down for several reasons. Yes, many stopped looking, but many got jobs. We have many regions with very low unemployment rates and excellent low ratios of available labor (unemployed) versus open job postings. That ratio exceeded 5-1 at the worst point, we're as a nation about 3-1 now, Nashville metro is 2-1, Hartford , Ct is 1-1.
I'm actually talking to employers in both Nashville metro and the New jersey/Pa corridor. I've known several in both regions who have gotten excellent new offers in the last few months.

New Jersey as a whole has been picking up. The entire NYC metro has seen significant recovery. Other areas that are kicking of major job growth include Portland, Pittsburgh, Austin, and San Francisco.

People have NOT stopped looking ----- don't you get that when the EUC was stopped, that made it look like unemployment went down. We're talking about MILLIONS of people so, yeah, that would put a huge dent in the unemployment numbers and make it look like they went down significantly.
Goody for you that you can find work and that you have offers rolling in..... many of us have been consistently looking for work and cannot find anything.
"won't stop for ten-fifteen years - until wages outside of the country have risen to $6/hr. and US wages have dropped to $6 hr. - in the meantime, you've wrecked the country."
Couldn't have been more prescient.
I voted for Perot.. was very unhappy he withdrew his candidacy the second time around. Threats on his life - gee, I wonder from whom...

You are dellusional if you think the recent drop isn't because extensions were stopped. All these new jobs are mostly jobs that you can't live off if you have a family. Started by small businesses which are on the rise because these people started their own business because they couldn't find work. Most ofthese small businesses don't last by the way and will lay off their employees. Because they don't make enough and fail
