US employers add 313,000 jobs

[MTAtech]

Jobs aren't equal.

GOOD jobs lead to substantial growth in GDP. Part-time/seasonal work that are counted as real jobs do not.

Finally, we're getting real jobs at higher salaries that are being individually taxed less.

That creates a surge in GDP and an overall INCREASE in taxes assessed.

Math that social justice warriors can't understand.

There is no empirical evidence that cutting taxes on higher earners, which the last tax-cut did, results in higher economic activity. There even isn't any evidence that cutting taxes increases economic activity. See: https://www.brookings.edu/blog/up-front/2017/11/28/taxes-and-growth-a-cautionary-graph/

Sure has but the difference is these are full time jobs not the part time that Obama created. Please learn context and learn how to research before posting

LOL...con....you are so predictable.

 

[Conservative]

We've gone through this many times before but it doesn't seem to filter through your noggin -- probably because it doesn't support your narrative.

Part-Time employment was DECREASING under Obama, not increasing, as you stated -- all while full-time employment was also growing.

Yes, as always you ignore context and ignore the numbers before Obama took office so cherry picking is what you do showing just how easy it is to indoctrinate some people. Such low standards is why the Obama record and legacy were rejected.

 

[Conservative]

Went right over your head, didn't it?

For 8 years the Cons here snd in the Con media said the job growth under Obama were all lies.. Every single month when the job numbers were released they said the BLS and BEA lied to make the numbers look better.

But now those same numbers are dead on, no more lying? lol

Not the job claims but the context, the bottom line number doesn't show the results and the U-3 is fake numbers in measuring economic activity and success of the economic policies. You continue to want to prop up failure but the electorate got it, when will you?

 

[Conservative]

Well, that would be nice if it wasn't for the fact that we just gave out a massive tax cut which is going to require us to borrow about 80% more money this year than we did last year. Imagine how good our deficits and debt would look if we hadn't wasted it all giving it to millionaires and billionaires who didn't need it. We had job growth numbers this high in July of 2016 under Obama and he didn't need to run up a massive deficit to achieve them.

Aw yes, people keeping more of what they earn is always a problem for liberals who believe that economic growth and activity to support this country would continue with massive federal spending. How does someone keeping more of what they earn, hurt you, your family or the country?? Job growth in July compared to February?? OMG, the economic ignorance is staggering.

 

[Conservative]

Now you are changing the subject, since I completely undercut your previous claim that Obama added only part-time jobs. It's hard to believe that Obama added only part-time jobs when part-time jobs decreased and full-time increased. You can't even admit when you are wrong.

On your other claim that employment never reached pre-recession levels, that's wrong too (see below.) GDP at the end of Obama's term was higher than it ever was before.

I gave posted the chart on part time jobs but again you ignored it just like the chart in this post is for total employment including part time. Later in this thread I will be posting the Part time chart with February's numbers in them, over 900,000 fewer part time jobs that went full time in February alone vs. Obama. Who do you think those 900,000 voted for?

Republicans ability to lie to the American people and distort reality about the incredibly good economic recovery under Obama is not President Obama's fault. Just like so many amazing things throughout history that African Americans did a white guy wants to come along later and pretend he did it. Sorry. Not this time. Although I must say Trump does kind of remind me of Fat Elvis.

Look post those great economic numbers under Obama that you claim happened. I have proven you wrong but you ignored the data. Good economic recovery??No year of 3% growth and employment when he took office of 142, implemented a 842 billion stimulus that took employment to 139 million two years later, that is great economic activity for you? Your economic ignorance is staggering as is your inability to research data in contexst

 

[Conservative]

Apparently, you don't know how addition works. President Obama added a lot of full-time jobs during his presidency. The fact that we never got back to pre-recession levels just demonstrates how horrible the great recession(which started under Bush who implemented Tax cuts just like the ones Trump did) was. You seem to forget that we lost 2.6 million jobs in just 2008 alone before President Obama was even sworn into office.

Keep buying the liberal spin totally ignoring that we were coming out of recession when Obama took office as TARP recapitalized the banks. Obama prolonged the recession and lost the House in 10-12 and the Congress in 14-16, where is the disconnect for you?

 

[Conservative]

Really? Then why are we borrowing over 80% more money this year than we needed to last year?

Borrowing? you think the govt. borrows on PREDICTIONS? Why is it negative predictions are touted but never apologized for when proven wrong?

 

[Conservative]

Not that I give Obama any personal credit for that, because I'm not someone who thinks the POTUS creates private sector jobs, but you are correct that PT employment while Obama was POTUS was going down and FT employment was going up. And as much as I didn't approve of Obama I'm not partisan enough to not give the man credit for taking over the helm of any economy in tatters and managing to keep it from collapsing, then presiding over years and years of job and stock market improvements. Trump was very lucky to take over the office when he did. 2008 was one of the worst years in my awareness of economic matters, and I'll hand it to Obama that he did quite well in spite of how bad things were.

Can you explain why that happened? When did the Republicans retake Congress?

 

[Conservative]

LOL...con....you are so predictable.

As are you, actual data in context doesn't matter nor does the reality of what a disaster your state is

 

[Conservative]

lmao...just out of curiosity, who was president in July 2016? You know, the date that your article references as this being the best since...?

OMG, you want to compare July to February?? What is it about liberalism that creates this kind of loyalty? Are you getting paid to post?

 

[Conservative]

Yep, thank you Obama for giving us Trump

Over 4 million more employed this February vs. Obama's last February and 2.7 million more than last year. Reality sucks doesn't it, MTA

OMG, you want to compare July to February?? What is it about liberalism that creates this kind of loyalty? Are you getting paid to post?

It's pure chuckles, buddy, and that's payment enough. As I read over and over again how much better you think Trump is than Obama, the big job announcement you post says it is the best job creating since...OBAMA.

I do like the little deflect on the July vs. February thing, and I'll even say it's a valid point. So, if Trump's such hot stuff, and #ObamaSux, why isn't it saying BEST MONTH SINCE JULY 2017?? lol

It's ok, you don't have to answer, it's Friday, and I'm feeling friendly. Thanks again for the giggles.

The Republicans retook Congress in 2014. Why do you ask? Presumably you knew that.

 

[Renae]

May 2010, January 2012 and October 2015 were the only months during Obama administration with monthly job growth over 330k. Why bring up Obama?

Because it's racist not to say Obama is THE BESTEST AT EVERYTHING EVER.

 

[MrWonka]

Keep buying the liberal spin totally ignoring that we were coming out of recession when Obama took office as TARP recapitalized the banks.

The recession did not end until June of 2009 exactly 6 months after President Obama took office and signed the stimulus package. TARP was widely considered a massive disappointment because it was built on Trickle down economic theory. We gave money to the banks assume they would then start borrowing it out to average Americans, but they didn't. They invested in other safer things until they were more confident in their own financial security, and didn't really start borrowing money out to anybody else for quite some time.

The single best usage of TARP came after President Obama took office and used the money from it to help GM and Chrysler continue operating through bankruptcy saving millions of jobs. Almost every dime of the money that we used to bail out the auto companies got paid back even.

Obama prolonged the recession and lost the House in 10-12 and the Congress in 14-16

President Obama won re-election in 2012 and would have easily kicked the **** out of Trump if he could legally run again in 2016. Trump lost the popular vote to an incredibly unpopular candidate that was under FBI investigation.

Your Gerrymandered congress is only going to last a couple more years. Your 15 minutes are almost up.

 

[ludin]

There is no empirical evidence that cutting taxes on higher earners, which the last tax-cut did, results in higher economic activity. There even isn't any evidence that cutting taxes increases economic activity.

Actually it cut taxes on pretty much everyone not just high earners why you have to be dishonest in your argument is well noted.
Actually more disposable income does lead to economic activity this is a fact.

if people have more money to spend then they spend it.

 

[MrWonka]

Yep, thank you, Obama, for giving us, Trump

The racist backlash to a black president is not the fault of the black president, and if Obama could have run against Trump in 2016 Obama would have won in the single biggest landslide quite possibly in U.S. History.

Don't have to say it as the results speak for themselves. 4 million more Americans working this February vs. February 2016 and 1.7 million more than last February. I would say those results show the Trump influence on the business community

February is in the heart of the winter, February had 28 days, and February is normally the slowest money of the year in every category but not this year, why?

 

[Conservative]

The Republicans retook Congress in 2014. Why do you ask? Presumably you knew that.

Of course I knew that which is why the numbers were better under Obama after their takeover

 

[AliHajiSheik]

Because the trajectory of the economy isn't changing. It's still on the same path he left it on. When you pass a massive tax cut and claim it's going to create jobs, you expect a radical improvement not more of the exact same thing we had before.

I don't think you are clear the meaning of trajectory. The angle of monthly job growth has never been a constant. There are ups and downs. There hasn't been a down since September 2010.

The data doesn't support your narrative unless you are using trajectory to be so broad as to be meaningless. Yes, the number has been positive for a while.

That is correct, June 2009, when did Obama's stimulus spending take place?? The left claims that Bush was responsible for the 2009 deficit which was 1.4 trillion dollars so how could that be if Obama spending had taken place. Also NBER posts data on recessions and claims that the uptick started in January 2009 before Obama took office. You want it both ways, credit Obama for the economy which still was negative in 2009 but blame Bush for the deficit.

Your love and support for Obama shows just how economically challenged you are, Gerrymandering or many other issues are always blamed for failure by the left showing again that the left never takes responsibility for anything. Democrats ever Gerrymander? Unbelievable ignorance and such low expectations.
