monthly jobs report. rage or rejoice.
Does Mr. Nick not realize that the figure reported every month is in net form? Using BLS figures, we lost millions of jobs in 2009 alone. Does that mean that not a single job was added? Or perhaps your understanding of this stuff is virtually non-existent?Do progressive only look at the jobs gained rather than also factoring the jobs lost? or in other words a net loss?

Of course not because the goal is to make progressives and especially Obama look good.
I know progressive love numbers, so factor in the stimulus - can any of these awesome progressive tell me how much it costs to create these alleged jobs? - even if they exist at all?
I'd bet my balls that it costs more to create a job than what an individual makes via salary..
i'm not sure exactly what you're asking, but here is what the data looks like back to 2004 (see USA Today link in my post upthread.)

My neighbors are working or are retired. I'm working at a job with fully paid insurance.I see the monthly, or bi monthly (depending on peoples attention span) talk about the phony jobs numbers is upon us again....:doh
It's all propaganda. If you want to know how this country is doing just ask your neighbor, or friend, or family member that is out there looking for work, and can't find it.
Only two, and those two buildings are always going out of business, even before the recession.Just take a cruise in your electric smart car, and take a look around town, and notice how many businesses are shuttered.
None where I live *shrug*How many strip malls that used to have stores, and traffic are now either slotted for, or torn down completely. How many downtown's are only half occupied and operating.....etc.
No, we lost a lot 5 and 6 years ago. There's a big difference in what I said and what you said.We have lost a lot in the past 6 years.
Personal anecdotes aside, no one is claiming the economy is as good now as it was in the late 90s. But it IS better than it was in late 2008.And no amount of manipulation of statistics make up for the actual eyes on feel of what "the new norm" is...People see that.
Then it sounds like our politicians need to go to work to incentivize job creation in America, instead of providing tax breaks to companies who close plants here and outsource the work to China.People notice that they look for work and only get offered a job with 23 hours a week.
Well, they voted in 2012 and America apparently liked the direction in which we were going. We'll see what 2016 brings.All of this are the real indicators that people see, and are told that things are getting better? They know that's bull, and will vote accordingly.

I guess this country is doing quite well, right? I mean, if we're taking personal anecdotes, this country sounds great right now.

Which is not surprising because there is a larger talent pool than before. When
there are multiple people eager to fill one job, you can afford to pay that position less because someone really needs the job and will take less. When the potential employee pool shrinks, then the position becomes harder to fill and wages/benefits go up to entice people to the position.
Our country needs to focus on finding ways to get people jobs, to incentivize hiring in the country. The problem with this is there's always another election coming around and the last thing one party wants to do is pass legislation which will allow the other party to take credit for getting someone a job and better wages/salary.
And 3 and a half million more votes than his next closest challenger. America spoke loud and clear.Obama got 4 million fewer votes in 2012 than 2008
I agree, but then again, if we did have standards for voting, you probably wouldn't like it very much.Far too many don't seem to have the IQ required to vote
I'm still waiting on you to answer my question from the other thread. Let me know when you get around it.Incentivize ?? You mean like what Texas, the GOP run state is doing to grow their economy ??
Low taxes and a friendly Bussiness environment DOES actually work.
There are 40 House jobs bills sitting in the Senate right now waiting for a vote that will never come.

Wages dropped, indicating these are primarily low wage and part time jobs. It's like the economy is settling into 6.7% unemployment.
Or maybe they said results do matter and they preferred the Democrat's results to the results of the last Republican we had as President?Yes, they spoke that results don't matter.

Don't know why anyone would rage; more jobs is a good thing.

The economy has regained every private sector job it lost in the recession of 2008 and the aftereffects of the recession. The deficit now is roughly half what it was projected to be before Obama stepped into office.So you can't defend Obama's incompetence ?
So you can't answer the question? Is it because you were wrong?And want to derail the read with irrelevant nonsense ?
Doubt seriously if any of those American Idol voters even knew the results
Now you're just lying, because I know I've addressed that multiple times myself with you, as have others.I have asked over and over again only to be ignored, name for me the Obama economic result that is better than Bush's

I'm not defending anything, I'm simply stating facts. Take them as you wish.
So you can't answer the question? Is it because you were wrong?
There's nothing more amusing to me than a team cheerleader who has to create their own reality.
Now you're just lying, because I know I've addressed that multiple times myself with you, as have others.
Regained every job? What planet do you live on?

:shrug: Hourly wages have ticked upwards 10 out of the last 12 months. Portraying this month's one cent decline as some sort of a trend is a fools errand.It's a drop, and we have been adding low wage jobs for a while now. The 1 cent drop shows that we aren't improving the quality of jobs that are being created.
And I see some still insist that positive jobs reports (the anemic ones are legit) are phony. What a hopeless bunch!
Lovely anecdotes, but the jobs survey takes into account areas outside of your town as well. Here in Florida we're doing just fine.
