U.S. Adds Only 88,000 Jobs; Jobless Rate Falls to 7.6%[W: 831]

Economic failure?

When Obama came into Office, GDP was negative 8.9%. 2.6 million jobs were lost in the 3 months leading to his presidency. The stock market was nose diving and the economy was crashing. Now, though barely positive, GDP is still positive (compared to -8.9%). 19,000 jobs lost over the last 3 months (compared to 2.6 million). 2 of the 3 major indexes of the stock market are at all-time highs and the economy is doing far better than it was a little over 4 years ago when Bush left office.

Hey, we can give Bush credit for giving the auto industry some bread, without it they may have died. Today they are doing very thanks to both of them.

We would rather watch you and others claim that GM and Chrysler which still owe the American taxpayers billions are the auto industry. I know a lot of other in the industry that would disagree with you

Average unemployment 8.9% (and only that low because so many have given up and stopped looking for work). Already responsible for more national debt that any other POTUS. On track to own more of the national debt than all other Presidents combined by the time he leaves office. Anemic "growth" that keeps unemployment high. BHO will leave behind a legacy of failure.:cool:

Re: U.S. Adds Only 88,000 Jobs; Jobless Rate Falls to 7.6%

Obama, Bush, Obama, Bush, Obama, Bush.......both sucked the big one. I don't see what you people are bickering about. Both parties are abysmal and we need to get rid of them both. Jobs under Bush sucked and they still suck under Obama. At this point you can't say Obama is doing a good job, you just can't. Plain denial is what it is. I don't see why people cling to their political affiliation like their religion. I used to claim myself as a Liberal, then I started thinking for myself and now I realize they both lie through their teeth to get re elected while filling their bank accounts along the way. Take the money out of politics and you won't have any more retarded parasites trying to get into office. They do one year of mediocre work, then its time to lie, spin, and cheat the voters to get re elected. Nothing ever gets done under the current system of career politicians.

Too bad none of it is getting to the 6 trillion dollar debt and the 25 billion still owed the taxpayers.

Still waiting for you to explain why there are only 143 million working Americans today with that tremendous job creation and why 500,000 dropped out of the labor force last month. I anxiously await your response.

Your opinion noted, 143 million Americans working today vs 146 million in December 2007 generated at a cost of 6 trillion to tThe debt. By the way when did Obama start controlling state workers? It is a different ballgame since the state cannot print money like the Federal Govt. can, isn't it?

Wow, you have zero credibility as you don't know the difference between labor force and numbers of people working. Obama loves having people like you supporting him. You really have no idea what you are talking about, the labor force is 155 million, the number working is 143 million, the difference divided by the labor force is the unemployment rate. Learn something and stop making a fool of yourself, this is embarrassing.

Yes, you sure didn, 130,000 fewer in the labor force in February and another 496,000 in March, that is really headed in the right direction, really surprised that the unemployment rate didn't drop further.

Do liberals ever apologize for being wrong?

Unemployed? There are fewer of them now than when Obama became president. Not something Bush can brag about.

Bush: +6,056,000

Underemployed? There are fewer of them now than when Obama became president. Not something Bush can brag about.

Bush: +4,512,544
Obama: -366,080

Discouraged? There are more of them now than when Obama became president. But far less than the number Bush added.

Bush: +433,000
Obama: +69,000

This coming from someone who believes the Civilian labor force is the number of working Americans not just the number of eligible Americans that can work.

Still don't understand the numbers you post but the U-6 number is monthly not cumulative meaning that discouraged workers and under employed is a monthly number. Better stop when you are behind.

You come into this forum, act like you know what you are talking about, put down anyone that disagrees with you, are an expert on every topic but the reality is you have no idea what you are talking about and no understanding of the data you post. You are indeed a typical Obama supporter and a leftwing ideologue who has no problem embarrassing themselves by posting incorrect information

Do you ever apologize for being wrong? You said earlier that every month in 2013 it went down, yet it went up in January. Look in 2012 for some positive figures.

That isn't the only think you are wrong about so carry on and keep apologizing. "Your" President is a disaster and an economic failure. Not one of his economic predictions has been accurate and there are fewer working today at a higher cost to the taxpayers than were working when the recession began. Apologizing really isn't that difficult, you need to do it more often.

So let me see if I have this right, the labor force was 153.9 in December 2007 when the recession began, Obama adds 6 trillion dollars to the debt and the labor force is 155 million four years later with over 600,000 dropping out of the labor force and that is a success to you? What is it about liberalism that creates this kind of loyalty?
