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

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

No, wouldn't deny that at all, but that because of demographics, it looks like more collage aged people are going to school. What is your evidence he is driving people out the work force?

The evidence is that labor force participation is at an all time low and BHO is POTUS.

Your lack of comprehension does not serve as a rebuttal...

LOL !!

Some clown actually gave you a "like" for that empty nonsensical post.

Let me guess, your'e actually blaming the baby boomers on our economies death spiral ??

Explain then, .....this out to be good.
 
Re: U.S. Adds Only 88,000 Jobs; Jobless Rate Falls to 7.6%

Oh, I'm trying to follow your "logic", but you have failed to explain why if retiring baby boomers are the cause of the the low LPR, there is not a widespread labor shortage in the country? You see, you cannot explain each with the same reasoning...
I don't know why you keep ascribing a position to me that I did not claim? Again .... I never said that retiring baby boomers are "the" reason for the decline in the LFPR -- I said they're "a" reason. I don't know how many more times you intend to ask that question, which is based on the false premise that I believe that baby boomers are "the" reason, but I'm done answering your false premise question.

Okay, then explain the reasons for both high unemployment and the dropping LPR...

Nice graph,it shows the labor force dropping like a rock while your President is at the helm of a great economic "recovery". Lol..
That "dropping like a rock" was while GWB was president. :lamo:lamo:lamo:lamo

OK. You got me. It's only the lowest since 1979. BHO has done as well as Jimmy Carter. Congratulations.:lamo

So, Obama is the primary cause of the low participation levels?
 
Re: U.S. Adds Only 88,000 Jobs; Jobless Rate Falls to 7.6%

His failure to generate employment opportunities has discouraged job seekers.:cool:
What, should he have massively increased govt defense spending and triple the debt, like Ronnie?


You mean extending the Bush tax rates did not cause massive job opportunities?


PS....you once again avoided answering the question, is the POTUS the primary cause of low participation?

So? Many, if not most of that is attributable to people not wanting or not capable of working.

And by the way, like it or not ... he's your president too (unless you're not American).

The POTUS is responsible, regardless of the primary cause. What BHO did not do was engender confidence, which is what RWR did in spades, and even GWB did better than BHO.:cool:

Not all job opportunities are paid, many of those positions are volunteer jobs they do not add to the economy.

Approximately 700K public sector jobs have been lost due to shrinking income taxes.

You keep using this word, but you are ignoring the second most common understanding/use of the word.

Being the primary cause of something and so able to be blamed or credited for it.

Oh, confidence fairies, magic dust and all.

I wouldn't bring W into the mix, his record on job creation and crashing economies is well known.

If this is a recommendation for following Reaganite voodoo economics, then you have no standing on debt complaints.
 
Re: U.S. Adds Only 88,000 Jobs; Jobless Rate Falls to 7.6%

Okay, then explain the reasons for both high unemployment and the dropping LPR...
The main reason unemployment is as high as it is, is due to the drop in the state and local public sectors since the recession ended, which lost 700,000 jobs over that period, while the private sector has gained 5½ million jobs since then. One of the factors in the public sector drop is lost revenue. The drop in LFPR is due to multiple factors, which include but are not limited to retiring (and dying) baby boomers, sharp increase of those filing for disability, increase of people choosing school over work, fewer jobs available, discouraged workers. These are all factors for why the LFPR has been dropping ... since 2001, by the way, with the exception a brief period from about 2004/2005 until the housing bubble, which is what helped the LFPR during that period, collapsed entirely.

And both have done better than Bush. So excuse me if I care not what a Bush apologist has to complain about.
