That headline is not a misprint. The number of working age Americans that do not have a job has increased by nearly 10 million since Barack Obama first entered the White House. In January 2009, the number of "officially unemployed" workers plus the number of Americans "not in the labor force" was sitting at a grand total of 92.6 million. Today, that number has risen to 102.2 million. That means that the number of working age Americans that are not working has grown by close to 10 million since Barack Obama first took office. So why does the "official unemployment rate" keep going down? Well, it is because the federal government has been pretending that millions upon millions of unemployed workers have "left the labor force" over the past few years and do not want to work anymore. The government says that another 347,000 workers "left the labor force" in December. That is nearly five times larger than the 74,000 jobs that were "created" by the U.S. economy last month. And it is important to note that more than half of those jobs were temporary jobs, and it takes well over 100,000 new jobs just to keep up with population growth each month. So the unemployment rate should not have gone down. If anything, it should have gone up.

They don't want to work because it is a better lifestyle living off of the taxpayers.
ReplyDeleteWhy would someone work for $40k - spend 1/4 on taxes and 1/3 on babysitters when you can stay home and collect the same amount, watch your own kids and pay no taxes.....
But you do have to continue voting Democrat...that's your only job!
look up the video " Welfare Mi-lineals"
ReplyDeleteYea yea people would rather lose their home, car, family and starve on welfare than go to work.
ReplyDeleteThe point of the article was that they were playing the number, but I see that eluded you morons.
The population of the US is around 313 million, and there are 100 million out of work. That means that 1/3 of the population is unemployed
BUT it is actually worse than that because the article states "working age" Americans.
Therefore the % of unemployed people vs the population in the "working age" category is probably close to 50%, since you typically do not count children in this tally.
Is that clear enough for you?
Obozo the evil brown clown is destroying whats left of this country with the help of the low information Democrat parasites and the lap dog media.
ReplyDeleteOther than that he's just great.
Less than 35% of black men are in the workforce and that doesn't mean employed.
ReplyDeleteThese are the Obama regime numbers, just imagine what the truth REALLY is.
