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%

January's job report was actually revised down as well to 119K. Both months averaged out is around 178K.

The fact that you even have to point to a past report because you know there is nothing good about today's jobs report is telling. It's an absolute disaster and it's only going to get worse. GDP Growth last quarter was .4%. The quarter before that it was initially in the negative but it was "revised" to .1%.

:2wave:
Upwards actually, to 148k. February's figures were revised upwards as well to 268k.

The .4 figure is the final revision for Q1, which was initially reported as a tenth percent decline. The previous quarter you're referencing was in fact a 3.1 percent gain.

No tax brakes would be required. Let the private sector do what it knows how to do...

And just what does the private sector know how to do? Please quantify your statement.

Why isn't the private sector doing it as we speak?

Also, what percentage of the U.S. economy is made up by oil and NG production?

Good lord. Tell me you didn't just post those questions. Have you ever heard of government regulations/restrictions...

I'm out...

Thank god! We have been subjected to your naivety for long enough ;)

The second two posts are made asking you for specifics is when you decide to drop out?

I wasn't aware "nativities" were still allowed...:shock:
 
Re: U.S. Adds Only 88,000 Jobs; Jobless Rate Falls to 7.6%

For states as well? Gov. Snyder cut business taxes in Michigan and our unemployment has gone down drastically.

Yeah, that had nothing to do with this.

And you can make the the causation/correlation work on this claim?

Auto correct is a bitch. None the less, you still have much to learn!
 
Re: U.S. Adds Only 88,000 Jobs; Jobless Rate Falls to 7.6%

Oh, didn't you hear....Detroit's going bankrupt.

How is that a response? I never mentioned anything about Detroit's fiscal status.
 
Re: U.S. Adds Only 88,000 Jobs; Jobless Rate Falls to 7.6%

Against those not interested in solutions? No...

I am interested in solutions, but poor ones. I prefer we do something effective and not counter productive.
 
Re: U.S. Adds Only 88,000 Jobs; Jobless Rate Falls to 7.6%

Good gawd, it's hard to soar like an eagle when surrounded by ostriches...

LOL! You seem to be running into the proverbial brickwall!
 
Re: U.S. Adds Only 88,000 Jobs; Jobless Rate Falls to 7.6%

You mentioned the comeback of the auto industry as a credit to Michigan's success. Guess which city is known as "The Motor City"? And why isn't Detroit cashing in. Michigan, with it's Republican super majority and Republican governor has been doing much better since Granholm has left, Detroit, with it's 50+ years of sole, big government, Democrat rule is doing worse. Why?

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

Rates are irrelevant, how much is collected is

That is true. So what's your claim? That more collection is somehow higher than the rate? Because fact show that collections are far lower which is why so many corporations pay zero taxes even though our tax rates are supposedly high.

If you can't verify your accusation just say so instead of deflecting with more unfounded claims in the form of questions.

A reference point (in this case % of GDP) is required to compare non-stationary time series.

The auto industry is doing much better.

You shifted your focus from unemployment to fiscal policy.
