U.S. Added 266,000 Jobs in November; Unemployment at 3.5%

Re: U.S. Adds 266,000 Jobs in November

Sweet! That’s, like, the 36th straight month in Trump’s presidency in which good job growth was shown. His approval will have to go above 44% now!

Oh wait, it won’t.
At this SAME point in his first term OBama had as 42% approval rating. And if my memory serves me correctly Obama won a second term.

Oh, by the way, our racist President has reduced African American unemployment from 7.7% in January 2017 to 5.5% today and that is gaining African American support that the Democrats cannot afford to lose. Aren't you feeling a little bit stupid these days supporting that leftwing ideology?

Interesting how the left ignores the public's response to the Obama recovery, he got 4 million fewer votes in 2012 than 2008 whereas Reagan got 10 million more in 1984 vs. 1980 with what has been compared to equal recessions. He also lost the House again in 2012 and the Congress in 2014. those are the kind of economic results the left ignores yet calls his administration a success
 
Re: U.S. Adds 266,000 Jobs in November

I posted the official data that refutes your claims of a job recovery, 6 million jobs created in 9 years isn't a recovery, it is a disaster especially since 5.7 million of those 152 million in January 2017 were part time jobs for economic reasons. We have 4.3 million today included in the 158.6 million employed. The radical left is laughing at the fool they are making out of you

The overall job growth numbers have stayed within the same window since the early 2010s. If that's too complicated for you to understand, then understand this: You are praising Trump and criticizing Obama for the exact same thing. :laughat:

What the hell are you posting and why are you ignoring the Democratic Congress from January 2007? You want to give Obama credit based upon the Democratic policies that generated the drop in employment in 2008 and their failure to do their jobs wanting the WH more than taking care of people like you. What part of 5.7 million part time jobs for economic reasons in January 2017 vs 4.8 million when the recession began don't you understand? Wasn't it Obama's job to get us back to pre recession levels? He failed in that category and failed in the U-6 which caused him to get 4 million fewer votes in 2012 than 2008.

Why such loyalty to the liberal ideology and such ignorance of the data?

Job numbers but not context as you apparently believe a part time job for economic reasons is the same as a full time job.

I didn't call Trump a racist but bet that is what you believe. Democrats are losing African American support, why?

He has been playing this game for 2 years and before that he was actively being critical of tge Obama recovery as well, despite the GOP running Congress and hence the purse strings.

Facts are simple. Obama took unemployment from 10% to 4.5% and the orange moron has taken it from 4.5% to 3.5%.

250k new jobs under Obama was bad, 150k under McDon is good... Hypocrisy much?

Only liberals who are blinded by rhetoric and ignore that those graphs indicate actual people making up those numbers. 158.6 MILLION Americans employed today, get it, an increase in 6 million in 3 years. Why don't you tell me exactly what is wrong with those spreadsheets and what is stupid about the conservative ideology?

Can you explain why Obama got 4 million fewer votes in 2012 vs 2008 whereas a President with what was called a similar recession got 10 million more votes?

Can you explain what exactly we got for the 9.3 trillion added to the debt for only 4.2 trillion GDP growth and 6 million jobs in 8 years?

You are talking about honesty? LOL Economies dont change overnight.. do you accept that at least? The "results" were best after the GOP took over Congress because they refused to work with Obama and hence the actions he did before they took power, were the ones that were effecting the economy.. ups kinda forgot that eh? Selective outrage and honesty?

Why such loyalty to liberalism?

I am a liberal.. as defined by everyone on the planet but Americans. I am for free markets, liberty of the individual and all that. Now if you are trying to smear me by calling me a socialist by abusing the word liberal.. well that dont work.

so like most liberals you have no problem with part time jobs for economic reasons?? This is the problem with liberals, context doesn't matter

LOL context matters, and you are the one that refuses to see it. Ever thought that part time jobs are better than no jobs at all?

What about them? What do they show? Remember you are the one accusing me of not putting context into this.. so how about you honestly put context into those numbers.

Not normally, how did Reagan do it? you keep telling us that the GOP refused to work with Obama prior to taking control, what policies did Obama want during that term that the GOP rejected, the stimulus? ACA? My selective outrage comes from the official results your outrage comes at me pointing those out because that isn't what you want to believe. Why such loyalty to Obama and those poor results?



I am a liberal.. as defined by everyone on the planet but Americans. I am for free markets, liberty of the individual and all that. Now if you are trying to smear me by calling me a socialist by abusing the word liberal.. well that dont work.

I haven't called you a socialist, I have refuted your data and opinions with facts and context. Seems you are having a problem understanding the spreadsheet, how can I help you? what is it in those spreadsheets that you don't understand? You want to believe the job creation was the same, numbers wise you call a part time job for economic reasons the same as a full time job and you call a job returning that was lost a new job created. Both are false. Why are you ignoring that only 6 million new jobs were created in 9 years, the last Bush year and 8 Obama years?



LOL context matters, and you are the one that refuses to see it. Ever thought that part time jobs are better than no jobs at all?

Yes, they are better than no job at all but not equal to full time jobs and by definition a part time job for economic reasons is a person looking for a full time job and couldn't find one. That is an indictment of the Obama economy and shows failure



What about them? What do they show? Remember you are the one accusing me of not putting context into this.. so how about you honestly put context into those numbers
.

The show exactly what I stated, the Obama recovery from a major recession was the worst in history and were blown away by the Trump economy. they show exactly what I stated, economic malaise, 6 million jobs created in 9 years, part time employment for economic reasons and the real unemployment number the u-6 higher than it was when the recession started.

Now look at this chart:

As has been made crystal clear to you, the economic trends that began in 2010 have remained largely unchanged to this day. Thanks, Obama! :thumbs:

Look, you want to use percentage change whereas I am using actual numbers, the higher the labor force the lower the percentage but the more jobs being created. Stop ignoring actual numbers, 146 million to 152 million is 6 million in 9 years. 152.1 million to 158.6 million is 6.5 million in 3 years. Do you see the difference? Percentage change is irrelevant, actual numbers are what matters

Keep focusing on trends when it suits you and ignoring the actual data when it doesn't.

Thank you for admitting that a lot of Obama's job growth was full-time. :thumbs:

And you still haven't addressed the argument that the Obama recovery planted the seeds for today's full-time jobs situation. :lol: But you won't do that because it's not possible to give Obama an unconditional compliment. ;)

There is no doubt that the Obama economy gave us Trump and the results we have today. Your claim about full time job creation is nothing but your typical BS as that isn't what the official numbers show, 152 million employed in January 2017 with 5.7 MILLION of them part time for economic reasons. You cannot seem to grasp even the concept of context.

Here is what Trump generated. Now why such loyalty to the Democratic Party?

GDP Growth 2013 to 2018

2018 20494.1 1008.7
2019 21337.9
1.
2016 GDP growth 1.6% annual vs 2.9% 2018 with those terrible tax cuts, 3.2% January thru March 2019

Unemployment Rate 4.7% January 2017 vs. 3.5% today

Employed 152,1 million January 2017 to 158.6 million today

U-6 in January 2017 9.3% vs 7.0% today?

Part time for economic reasons, 5.7 million January 2017 vs. 4.3 million today?

African American unemployment 7.7% vs. 5.5% today?

Remember those wonderful Obama years leaving Trump with a 1.6% GDP growth, declining GDP dollars and let's not forget adding 9.3 trillion to the debt with much of that gov't spending in those GDP numbers
