Yep, if we use the cooked numbers that 0bama has been using, before long we'll have more people employed than live in the country.......

Every time I see one of these threads, I picture in my mind a liberal getting up in the morning and going "what am I going to lie about today?" as they pour some coffee.

Ok, one a week

I think people are more in despair about how things are—yes new jobs but they are low wage jobs. HOUSING is a huge issue. Most people pay half of what they make to rent…

If this economy is as strong as implied by these bogus numbers, why was Trump elected primarily on his economic plans? The GDP growth is pathetic and workers are earning the equivalent of what workers were earning 20 years ago. No matter how the left spins a rosy economy, the reality is quite dire for many middle class Americans.

This was a very valid method when the rate was going up, and when it hit 10.5%. When it started falling, it became invalid, and now that it's 4.6%, it's basically a liberal conspiracy. The good news is that in Jan 20, it will become the gold standard again.

Or maybe Trump will assume the method which includes part timers and every other group which are not included

Thank you for pointing this out. The unemployment numbers have been manipulated for years now.
