The fact that the BLS reported June part-time jobs rose 799K, the biggest monthly jump since 1993, will likely not get much airplay today. Because when it comes to jobs, it is only the quantity that matters, never the quality.
And Obamabots cheer. Hey if they are happy with the results of 5+ years. Me, I'd expect much better.

And Republicans were desperately hoping for negative job growth in June. That would have gone nicely with all their high-fives and celebrations for the contraction of the first quarter.

Yup lots of minimum wage jobs. That's the real reason for the Onumbnuts push to raise the minimum wage.

The Obama swooners and flag waivers don't care is fewer Americans have jobs, and those that have a job are finding that more and more of the jobs are low paying part-time jobs.

Show an Obama supporter the 46 million of food stamps, the record levels of poverty and they could give a crap. To paraphrase Ebenezer Scrooge:

"Are there no soup kitchens? Are there no homeless shelters? Are there no Food Stamps cards or Welfare offices? Oh, from what you said at first I was afraid that something had happened to stop them in their useful course. I'm very glad to hear it."

As long as the Obama supporters throw crumbs to the poor and desperate American families suffering under this Obama economy, then it's out of sight, out of mind, and nothing else needs to be done.

Show an Obama supporter the dramatic fall in the labor force participation, and they could care less, because the fewer people participating the fewer people we count as unemployed, and the better the worthless U3 unemployment number looks. That's how we create a pathetic 70,000 jobs in a month and the U3 number drops by two points. The more Americans who give up looking for work, the fewer Americans we count in the labor force, and the better the unemployment figures look.

When was the last time we were considered to have full employment?

The Labor Department also said on Thursday that the unemployment rate fell 0.2 percentage point to 6.1 percent, the lowest since September 2008, when the economy’s fortunes turned sharply lower as Lehman Brothers collapsed and the financial crisis ensued.""

Good news unless of course you're a republican who wants the economy to fail because you hate Obama. Yes we know you don't believe the numbers unless they are negative because you are hypocrites and Obama is in charge. We get it. You don't have to come here and spread your ignorant nonsense.

Hopefully this trend continues throughout the year!

How many jobs are low wage or part time? I'm sure liberals won't tell you that.


Many new jobs are part time and low-paying

We've had over five years of this horrible economy, a good month or a bad month here or there won't matter at all. The poverty rate will still be there, the tens of millions of people on Food Stamps will still be there, and part-time jobs will be the majority of jobs being created.
