Rick Perry, net job gain, increasing labor force, more jobs today than when Obama took office, and a two year balanced budget; Barack Obama net job loss, declining labor force, less people working, and 4 trillion ADDED to the debt.
wrong? LOL, in 1994 the Bureau of Labor Statistics created the Discouraged worker class and eliminated that number from the labor force and the unemployment number. I believe it was 1994 because that is the first year it appears on BLS and is a way of showing lower unemployment not to be confused with U-6. Obama economic policies have led to people dropping out of the labor force in record numbers which is why U-6 is so high and the labor force dropping, or so it seems.
If you know how the unemployment rate is calculated then you would know what affect discouraged workes has on that rate.
He could do what Obama has done, reduce the labor force and reduce that number from the unemployed to make the rate better.
Logic and common sense always escape liberals. Apparently you don't seem to grasp the concept of growing population nationally and Obama economic policies that drive people to TX. The fact remains and you will continue to ignore it, Perry net job gain, Obama net job loss. TX is helping Obama's numbers. You should be saying thank you
btw, Conservative, if you have such a hard on for Perry, why are you supporting Flip Flopney?
Here's another gem from your spineless candidate. :lol:
"‘Mushy’ Mitt Romney Takes New Climate Stance: ‘I Don’t Know’ | “Do I think the world’s getting hotter? Yeah, I don’t know that but I think that it is,” Romney said at a New Hampshire town hall event last night, after being criticized by Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK) for being “mushy” on climate change. “I don’t know if it’s mostly caused by humans.” Copying a Rick Perry line, Romney concluded: “What I’m not willing to do is spend trillions of dollars on something I don’t know the answer to.” He also said, “I do not believe in putting a carbon cap” on polluters. Two months ago, Romney said, “I believe that humans contribute” to global warming, “so it’s important for us to reduce our emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gases.” A Romney aide told Reuters that “the candidate has not altered his position on climate change.”

TX transportation and infrastructure, low cost of living, tech and innovation, and access to capital appear to be the biggest things that bring jobs to TX. Although, the increase in troops also has an affect as well.

Here is what you stated:
Which is false. Unless of course you can provide a source that shows Obama did as you claimed.
Don't forget proximity to the Mexican border and payouts to corporations to move their companies to Texas.
Here is why we have a decline in the labor force, new category, discouraged workers, reduces the labor force and the unemployment number. Discouraged workers by month

His economic policy says it all.
I'm afraid the tech sector is losing interest in the state because of budget cuts to education.
An aging baby boom will have a short term impact on the number of discouraged workers. As they begin to retire in droves, a great deal of job creation will be required to make up the loss of labor.
Which means that TX will lose even more of its business appeal. I don't see TX as staying at the number 2 spot on that "Top States for Business" list very long.
Is this the "Texas miracle?" :roll:

Is this the hope and change you voted for
Obama economic results in 2011, .4% GDP and 1.3% GDP growth in 2011, 25+ million unemployed or under employed Americans in 2011, 4 trillion added to the debt in less than 3 years, and a downgrade of the U.S. credit rating. Rising Misery index 7.83 to 12.67. First President in U.S. History to have our credit downgraded on his watch! 38% JAR and well over 50% disapproval ratings.
Definition of discouraged workers? What do the baby boomers have to do with discouraged workers. Retiring workers create openings for others.
Those at the extreme ends of the age spectrum have a higher propensity to become discouraged (workers who are too young/old to want to hire). Stock market losses have eaten up a great deal of people's planned retirement income thereby forcing near-retirees to stay in the labor force. Many of them who cannot find employment end up discouraged.
No question about it and low cost of living is directly related to taxes. Compare taxes in TX to yours in California.
Why don't you respond to the FACT that all the surrounding states have lower unemployment rates? Where is the miracle in Texas?
What part of "military spouse" do you not understand? I don't pay CA taxes, I pay NC taxes.
And, although the cost of living for NC is higher than TX, NC is also 3rd on that list overall, right under TX, despite having pretty much the same state tax rate as CA. The thing that keeps NC below TX is the economy is pretty bad, which is most likely what is affecting its cost of living. Much of the issue with NC is that the small town areas had job markets mostly centered around textiles, which have been steadily moving to places like Latin America and Asia for the low-wage workers. However, NC ranks better than TX for business friendliness and cost of business.
Then prove to me that Discouraged Workers include any of those baby boomers getting ready to retire?
What stock market losses?
Obama has saved us all. Why would anyone be discouraged with our "Hope and Change" President?
