Sessions: 'For Every One Job Added, Nearly 5 People Left the Workforce'[W:88]

Re: Sessions: 'For Every One Job Added, Nearly 5 People Left the Workforce'

Folks, we can't keep this up, the numbers released by the Obama administration after 5 years of failed policies and smoke and mirrors are damning. 92 million outside the workforce. The jobs added are crap. This is what the democrat party gets us. Take a look at these trends.

your chart shows labor participation pealing during the dot com bubble,and remaining strong during the housing bubble.

your chart bettter explains why bubble economies are bad and how they only benefit short term.also it can be used to show how the economy funciots outside buubles.your first chart shows at the beginning the ending of the supply side crisis,between the oil shock and the begining of the computer age.later it hits records from the dotcom boom,then lowers.under natural conditions,the unemployment tends to stay low but never gone.while bubbles tend to create a false sence of prosperity,later leading to drastically low employment.


fyi i cant stand charts from 1978 on,the liberals use it for tax rates,and you use it for labor participation.while im sure using a chart prior would destroy your theory,much the same is it does for liberals.

Anyone notice that there are more than 18 million people aged 65 and over in the U.S. than there were in 1980 (2009=43 million, 1980=25 million)?

From 2006 until 2013, roughly 45% of the 15 million people who have dropped out of the workforce have reached (or still live past) the age of 65 and older.

Trying to say this is all about the retirement curve is a dodge....All one has to do is get out there and talk to young people, and take a drive around and see all the places either on Main st. or in industrial parks and see all the closed businesses to understand that we are being fed false numbers, and false hope. Facts on the ground trump your false narrative.

I did not say it has everything to do about demographics; but it is a vital component of labor force dynamics.

Deflect! Deflect! Deflect!

Pointing out from your own graph that the trend began in 1990 is hardly deflection. You didn't even try to hide that. You have no argument. This problem transcends parties.
 
Re: Sessions: 'For Every One Job Added, Nearly 5 People Left the Workforce'

I love this "job" discussions between the partisan blinds. It is funny to me how conservatives will call people on welfare lazy and cant get a job then love to bring up how Obama is killing jobs. Which is it? Liberals arent much better claiming that Obama is fixing the economy and creating jobs but we need more welfare!

Partisans perpetuate ALL Americas problems and allow their presidents to act with impunity.

The democrat party, 5 years in-is stale fail.

There's no such thing as a democrat party. Another one of your dirty little dishonesties.

Of course we can keep it up. Heck...in a few short years when people are no longer working and no longer eligible for benefits, they wont 'count' anywhere and our unemployment figures will drop to zero. And that looks goooooooood.
 
Re: Sessions: 'For Every One Job Added, Nearly 5 People Left the Workforce'

Don't lose sight of the progression of technology in the workplace. Robotics is progressively making it harder for companies to hire labor when a machine can do it for nothing and never get sick or complain. Technology is impacting white collar workers as well. As our population grows and technology grows even faster there is going to be a breaking point and it will be ugly.

I've always felt that politics is humanity at its worst. But that may be harsh. The reality is that it is partisanship that is humanity at its worst. Partisanship is only about power.

I'd like to see a truly independent body do a study, and publish the real figures.
