ANNAPOLIS, MD (September 20, 2013) – Governor Martin O’Malley today issued the following statement on the U.S. Department of Labor’s release of preliminary employment data for the month of August:"Last month, Marylanders created 9,700 new jobs. Together, we have now recovered 100 percent of the jobs we lost as a result of the national recession. Today, there are 43,300 more Marylanders working than this time last year, and our unemployment rate has been driven down to 7 percent, below the national rate.
"Today’s jobs report also reaffirms the strength of Maryland’s dynamic private sector. Over the past 12 months, our businesses have created 37,800 jobs -- nearly 9 out of every 10 new jobs created in our state.
"As we reach this milestone in Maryland's economic recovery, we must remember that our work is not done. We need to continue our work building an economy that creates even more middle class opportunities, and creates prosperity for Maryland from the middle out.”

Not even close to being true
ReplyDeleteHow many jobs did we lose...according to his same math?
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I didn't step in any of this BS.....
WOW....This mans nose must be 3 to 4 feet long...that is a whopper
ReplyDeleteOh sorry, maybe those jobs were for illegals
somehow all of us unemployed were not counted. if it is 100%, why am i not employed?
ReplyDeleteIs anyone believing this b.s.?
ReplyDeleteIf it is true, where are the jobs? Does O'Malley really think that we believe this like we believe in Obama or Clinton.
ReplyDeleteAn absolute liar and political whore in every aspect. It's hard to believe but he actually lies more than Obama!
ReplyDeleteLIE LIE LIE
ReplyDeleteHe's so full of it his tank needs pumped out!
ReplyDeleteOperates on the same theory as pre-WWII German propaganda masters - tell a lie often enough and you'll be believed.
Yes, and I believe in the Easter Bunny and Santa Clause!
ReplyDelete9700 jobs created, 47000 lost, equals what, Omalley?
ReplyDeleteLie to me, and I will vote for you. Right.
Well, many will.
Asshat.
The unemployment number doesn't account for people who have become so discouraged they stop looking, and people who are under employed (aka, people working part-time who would prefer to work full time). We know that there is more of this going on than in 2007.
ReplyDeletePlus, Labor's prelim report gets the headlines. But the revisions, almost always downward to reality, are not nearly as popular.
