Re: U.S. Adds Only 88,000 Jobs; Jobless Rate Falls to 7.6%
As for the middle stuff which I glanced at - the unemployment rate would be well over 9% today if you assume (as the Fed does) that roughly half of the workers that left the work force did so because they (in essence) could not find employment. Fact.
I told you - I am not interested in your spinning, over-emotional reactions or theories.
I am only interested in links to unbiased facts/stats that prove/disprove your point.
Everything else will be ignored.
Maybe you/ some others around here love endless debating of each others theories...I do not.
Especially when it comes to economics.
I am interested in facts/stats from unbiased sources and BRIEF theories - preferably backed up with stats/facts.
Everything else is a waste of time, imo.
The official unemployment rate - from the BLS - the day Obama took office was 7.3%.
True or false?
Is that a 'yes' or a 'no'?
Have a nice day.
I thought you had - both you and another guy were yakking about the same thing. If you did not - I apologize.I never said the recession wasn't a factor in it dropping.

The BLS stats you are quoting came out after Obama took office.Note the unemployment rate for Jan/2009 ...

First of all, the unemployment rate is better than it was, not worse as you falsely claim. The housing prices I blame on the housing bubble crash, which is still hurting the economy. There are still 2 houses (that I know of, could be more) which are still in foreclosure since then. I still have no idea why you think food stamp usage defines Obama's success/failure?
