January jobs report crushes expectations: 227,000 added

Cardinal said:
Yes, 227,000 job openings magically appeared because Trump was inaugurated two weeks ago. That's how economics works.

No, they automatically appeared when we got a President who is promoting pro growth economic policies making business less afraid to hire and grow. We have been in the Obama funk for 8 years with the worst recovery of a recession in modern history especially the one as severe as the left told us. The great news here is that the labor force is growing and more people ate reentering. Now how can that be?

Quite a bit different than the January numbers Obama inherited from Bush 8 years ago, a loss of 750,000 jobs.

trump is now gladly accepting these numbers, instead of mocking them, because they're good, though they belong to Obama .

I particularly love the fact that Obama was part of the Democratic Controlled Congress that gave Bush the economic numbers he now claims he inherited and in particular like the U-6 rate when the recession began of 8.4% that was 9.2% when Obama left office. Interesting spin on the part of the left who wants to pick and choose the dates they want to start judging Obama on and yet have never stopped blaming Bush.

Don't worry though, the electorate got it even though you and the other leftwing radicals here never will, Obama was not on the ballot in November but his policies were. Now tell me who won the Congress?

So the Dem Congress under Bush is the blame for Bush's collapse but the Republican Congress under Obama is NOT to blame for the slow recovery.

Speaking of spin.

How come you're not mentioning the U-6 or the number of discouraged?

The labor force has been growing for years anyway. And fewer people are reentering.

When did the Republicans take control of the Congress??????? Your ignorance of civics is astounding. What is it about the liberal ideology that creates people like you, radicals who believe in an ideology that generated the Obama legacy

Obama’s legacy is a devastated Democratic Party | New York Post

You and the rest of the left want to tell us what a great job Obama did, how he cut the deficit in half or whatever number you want to use, how he created millions and millions of job with the greatest job creation in history(LOL) while ignoring when those so called numbers were generated, what Obama actually initiated and implemented, and even how basic civics even works with three equal branches of govt. Do you know what that even means?

I gave the U-6 rate when the recession began and when Obama left office. Why would anyone take the U-6 rate on the day he took office and not when the recession began? Why would you use January 2012? I always thought our goal was to get back to pre recession levels. What is it about liberalism that generates such low expectations?

The issue of the growing population and labor force lagging is of major concern as it should be. Thanks to Liberalism there is no thing as tough love but the entitlement mentality is alive and well and it is more acceptable to live off the taxpayers than take a job to make yourself marketable.

By the way, the discouraged workers dropped 170,000 last month, that should tell the country something about the mood of having Trump on the WH

trump now believes in the same jobs reports that he trashed during the election.

This one is being likened to trump being a 2nd string QB coming in to the 4th QTR with his team winning by 40 points and claiming he's responsible for the victory .

Both chambers in 2014--and the current 241-member House is scared ****less over alt-rightists trump/Bannon going into 2018.

Along with GOP governors and state legislators in purple states.

How many TX reps are in CDs won by Clinton, just for starters ?

More anti Trump rhetoric, what a surprise, right out of the leftwing talking points, congratulations on being one of the best leftwing talkers in this forum yet still out of touch with reality. Only a true radical wouldn't acknowledge the attitude of business since the election and only a true leftwing ideologue would continue to ignore the Obama legacy

Right, 2014, not 2010 and the leftwing radicals are scared ****less as they should be as they are a dying breed. Your focus on Bannon is typical fear mongering and belief that appeasement is the answer. Appeasement got us where we are today and it isn't pretty.

You are already posturing for the 2018 elections but my bet is your predictions then will be as good as your predictions now. Don't know what it is about liberalism tht creates your kind of attitude and loyalty but you are out of touch with reality as usual with no understanding of how our economy works and the fact that evil loves having people like you supporting them

By the way there are many jobs reports generating a lot of information .Explain to me what Obama did to cut the discouraged workers 170,000 last month?
 
it will be interesting to watch supporter / debunker activity in these threads going forward.

75 straight months of job growth, averaging 200,000 jobs per month; you're welcome America.

All of a sudden, trump wants to take credit for Obama's economy after trashing these reports during the election.

Imagine how much better that would have been without the GOP House ****ing America over for the last 6 years.

Or McConnell intentionally and deliberately filibustering and obstructing everything in his power for 8 years just for the **** of it .

Interesting isn't it that none of this resonated with the electorate, how do you explain it? How do you explain a stock market over 20,000 AFTER Trumps election? How do you explain a 170,000 drop in the discouraged workers AFTER Trump takes office? You are right, you cannot explain it because of the partisan indoctrination you and the rest of the radical left has received.

Why you are participating in every anti Trump thread, Trump is proceeding keeping all his campaign promises and implementing a pro growth economic policy. He has negotiated with businesses and unions, foreign companies, kept jobs in this country with Carrier, Ford, lowered the cost of the new Air Force One, F-35, proposed cutting the budget 10% and 20% of the federal work force, refuses to take a salary, donates his foreign profits to the Treasury. So keep bashing him as the work for the American people continues. Going to be tough for people like you to get over that love you have for liberalism and Obama but the country will and be better off for it

By the way wasn't it you that ignored that Chuckie is going to filibuster the SC Nominee after giving him credit for not doing so?

Yes it was and it was Obama's economic policies on the ballot in the Congressional elections of 2016 when he lost the Congress again. Elections have consequences and "although I am not on the ballot in November, my policies are" Yes, Obama's policies were on the ballot. Congratulations Democrats

Conservative, do any of these things have to do with 75 straight months of private sector job growth ?

It is all about the party of lies that you support. what evidence has to be presented to you to show you that the Obama record isn't what you want to believe? The election results don't matter? the current stock market doesn't matter. The events going on don't matter but the rhetoric does??

You have been bought a series of lies and distortions, The American people will always vote their pocketbooks so tell me why all those months of job gains still don't resonate with anyone except the leftwing radicals??

Huh? I have no idea what you're talking about. You have commented on the U-6 every month...but not this month. shy not?

As for the date on reentrents, the beginning date was arbitrary...last 5 years to show the current trend. I'm not comparing any two points and longer or shorter matters not as long as it shows what the current trend is.

By the way, the discouraged workers dropped 170,000 last month, that should tell the country something about the mood of having Trump on the WH

No, Discouraged went up 106,000 in January.

I just find it amusing that you no longer seem to care about the U-6 or discouraged now that Trump is in office.

No, but you are to believe that when Obama left office the stock market took off as a thank you for Obama's service and that the Congress reverted to the Democrats as well as it is now President Hillary? It is obviously also a tribute and thank you to Obama for the discouraged workers to drop 170,000 and companies like Carrier, Ford keeping jobs in this country and foreign companies committing to job growth here

You post numbers you don't understand and somehow want to give Obama credit for what he didn't do. That is nothing short of Partisan rhetoric and ignorance of economic activity and what generates it
