Since when do you care about the underemployed, Con?? For Bush's eight years and including his Great Recession, there were 15 million additional un/under-employed. You didn't care about them then.

For Obama's 3 years and including Bush's Great Recession under his watch, there are an additional 1.4 million un/under-employed.

Bush loses 10 times the number of people Obama lost to un/under-employment...


Conservative: "Bush! 4 more years!!"

Conservative: "Anybody but Obama!!"

Obama, record number of discouraged workers, record number of Unemployed/under employed, record deficits, record debt, wasted money on green energy companies/crony capitalism, "Obama, Four more years!!"
 
Yes, that's how many non-farm people were on payrolls.

Now ya know.

The total employment number was 138 million and that is the number used to show participation rate and subtract that from the labor force generates the unemployment number, then back out the discouraged workers and you get the U-3 number. Keep running from the Carter vs Obama numbers and the tough question. Guess your silence says it all.
 
Unless you can tell me the economic plan that Reagan had that put us in a recession that Carter economy really sucked didn't it? Still waiting for you to answer my question about Obama's numbers being worse than Carter's and since Carter is considered the worst President in modern history what does that say then about Obama? Apparently the American people don't have the same opinion as you do regarding the Obama economic results and are more in line with reality
I've already answered that many times. That aside, it's irrelevant to this argument what Reagan did. By the two leading measures of the economy, GDP and unemployment, Bush's Great Recession was far worse.

GDP:
Reagan: -1.5% growth
Bush: -5.1% growth

Unemployment:
Reagan: 3,840,000 additional unemployed (A 47% increase)
Bush: 7,914,000 additional unemployed (An 88% increase)



Obama won the election with 52% of the vote and today his approval rating is 44%. What do those 8% see that you don't?


Gallup 2/23 - 2/25 1500 A 44 46 -2
WTF?? You're comparing the results of an election with a gallup poll??

If you were honest, and you're not, you would compare a Gallup poll with a Gallup poll. Gallup's lat poll before the 2008 election predicted Obama would receive 45% of the vote. So Obama's down 1 percentage point according to Gallup. So what?

Bush lost 15 million to un/under-employment.

Obama lost 1.4 million (and that number is shrinking every month)

G'head, keep fluffing for Bush.

Silence about what, Con? You don't even know what CPS data is.

Right, Bush had 24 million unemployed/under employed, when? Bush had 1,059,000 discouraged workers, when? You cannot even get your numbers correct but then what can one expect from a liberal?

Carter vs. Obama? Carter results better than Obama's yet you ignore that reality.

After 8 years and one Great Recession.

In terms of job growth, Carter's results make every president look bad as there were 10 million jobs created on his watch in 4 years. Per year, that's better than every other president.
 
And yet Obama has numbers worse than Carter who was America's worst modern day President. Says a lot about the brainwashed Obama supporter
Ummm, Nixon is most recently considered the worst president in modern times. Even George Bush ranks below Carter.

And yet there was a mild recession in 1980 and a major one in 1981 but of course that reality escapes you as you blame Reagan who had no part in creating the recession and wasn't even in the National govt. at the time. Obama was in the Senate and Congress was under control of the Democrats when this country went into recession, similar to he recessionary conditions that Reagan inherited. Reagan brought out the greatness of American, Obama has divided the country with the help of people like you. This is liberalism, demonize others, promote class warfare, spread your misery equally to everyone else and blame others for all your failures. This was once a great country that liberalism is destroying. You must be so proud

Obama stands for nothing that made this country great and with people like you helping is destroying it

Why the non-sequitur, Con? The discussion at hand is which recession was worse, not who created it.

Your failed attempts at diverting from the discussion aside, by the two leading indicators of the economy, GDP and unemployment, Bush wins hands down.

GDP:
Reagan: -1.5% growth
Bush: -5.1% growth

Unemployment:
Reagan: 3,840,000 additional unemployed (A 47% increase)
Bush: 7,914,000 additional unemployed (An 88% increase)


Obama was in the Senate and Congress was under control of the Democrats when this country went into recession?
So? The recession was the result of the bursting of the housing bubble which had nothing at all to do with Obama.

Try harder, Con!

Stop pretending like you know what makes this country great. You have no clue.

But I did get a kick how you completely avoided responding to that poll I posted!

There is no question that the 81-82 recession was worse per the effect on the American people, but you were too young to even know it. your arrogance however prospered over the years but you too will grow up some day

And i get a kick out of you posting numbers for Carter that are greater than Obama's yet believe Obama is better than our nation's worst modern day President

Pay attention, Con ... GDP and unemployment are the two leading indicators of the economy. Anything else you make up as a greater indicator of the economy in order to fit nicely into your agenda is merely a figment of your imagination.

Obama came in ahead of Nixon, Bush, Carter, and Ford in that poll. Deal with it. Or don't, no skinb off my back.

How does GDP affect the average American? Unemployment is part of the misery index. The figment of your imagination is the success of Obama and liberalism. You remain in denial

As you've been learned in the past, the misery index is not even an indicator of the economy. For example, if we are mired in massive deflation, the misery index goes down, which according to your nonsense, would indicate the economy is improving.

No, the leading economic indicators are the GDP and unemployment.

GDP fell 1.5% under Reagan's recession but 5.1% under Bush's Great Recession. Unemployment grew 4 million jobs during Reagan's recession but grew by 8 million during Bush's.

Deal with it.
