The UE rate went down last month because 342,000 people dropped out of the labor force. People are only counted as "unemployed" if they are actively seeking work - if they give up out of frustration, they are no longer counted. There were also about 350,000 dropouts in March - which is why the UE rate went down then. And these two months are not alone - the UE rate would be well over 10% without all the dropouts over the past few years.
And the quantity of dropouts should be the media's lead story with every jobs report. During this admin, there have been over 4 million. Tragic.
26 months in a row growth, nearly all the jobs lost under Bush/Cheney have now been recovered. Yep, just awful news.
bob, I think you failed to show any kind of proof of what you say. Since we have been losing jobs all of your months where was the growth. Get those links of proof out of your computer and on the forum.
I stand by my statement. The GOP wants to hammer Obama about employment but doesn't support policies that would improve employment.
The GOP prescription is the same, no matter what the problem, tax-cuts for the rich and corporations and cut government spending. Perhaps someone can explain to me how firing federal and state workers plus cancelling government contracts -- whose companies then fire their employees, improves employment?
How do we know the Republicans aren't offering anything to improve the jobs situation? Everything that comes from the House gets tabled in the Senate and are never heard from again. I guess my Republican Congressman must be a liar since your sources just aren't according to you.
Seeing businesses NOT governments create jobs, I will blame the BUSINESSMAN on the ballot for the weak jobs creation. Obama cannot do anything beyond signing a bill into law. So far the lame GOP house has not sent him one jobs bill.
My Congressman, of course a Republican has said over and over that they continue to send jobs bills to the Senate and that Dirty Harry continues to table them so the Senate membership never finds out what they were about. Where do you get all that information about those bills?

For starters you never believe a politician when they talk about the other party.

I about fell put of bed when I read that ridiculous post. Roy Sold Boy's congressman's has been sending bills over to the senate, but Harry hasn't let the rest of the senate know about them, LOL. Someone needs a remedial civics class.

Here is a chart thru Jan, now you provide proof that the Harry Reid has been "HIDDING" bills from the house from the rest of the Senate.
I'm sure those who want more jobs have always tried to buy American made goods right?
I have, my last foreign car was a 1976 Honda. I have a Ford Fusion Hybrid, a Silverado 2500 and a Forest River motorhome built on a Chevy chassis.
I seldom visit Walmart, try to buy from local businesses wherever we go. Fact is that is the biggest thing you can do, BUY FROM LOCALLY OWNED BUSINESSES.
Problem is many low value consumer goods are not American made any more. That is a corporate business decision. Blaming the working poor for their buying choices when there really isn't a choice is a bit lame, right? Right?
