Obama also has the lowest labor force participation rate in 36 years (http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-05-02/workforce-participation-at-36-year-low-even-as-more-jobs-beckon.html). That is 432 months. :smiley:

It says very clearly "Private Sector Job Growth".

Thank you private sector.


Still, it's too slow and prolonged.

He should give another Executive Order to Force Everyone Back to Work and Force the Welfare Corporation to Hire them.

Correct ... or do you know of a better way Obama can mandate participation?

obama has less to do with job growth than i do; i actually hire people.

So do I ... and the fact that the Economy isn't like it was in March 2009 ... we both can Hire

You do remember March 2009 right?

You do remember March 2009 right?

yeah, i do.

i give obama as much credit for fixing the economy as i give bush blame for fucking it up, which is to say zero.

i also remember obama saying the stimulus would ensure that unemployment wouldn't reach 8%

i also remember me saying in 2007 that obama was an empty suit.

one of us was right, and the other one was obama.

Presidents can push policies that put us in recession and policies that prolong it. But I don't think they can improve it.

He can't mandate participation. He can remove the incentives to drop out of the work force.

Another option is ignorance.

So when will Mitt Romney call and congratulate Obama?
Presidential candidate Mitt Romney:
“I can’t precisely predict what the unemployment rate will be at the end of one year. I can tell you that over period of four years by virtue of the policies we put in place, we will get the unemployment rate down to 6 percent and perhaps a little lower.”

so that's 6% or a little lower by the end of 2016. :rollseyes:

Current unemployment rate in 2014 under Obama: 5.9% :grin:

Go ahead and make that call Mitt. We'll wait. :laugh:

Less than 2% mean GDP growth after 6 years? That's .8% above a recession the whole time. That's supposed to be an accomplishment? :rofl:

Reagan's first 6 years after the Carter fiasco. Above 4% mean growth over the same time frame. That's a recovery.

His what? He expects credit for the record low numbers of the employed?

Use the correct figures next time.

To remind you, the below is the percent actually in the labor force. The lower the numbers go, as they clearly are, the fewer actual workers are working. Compare those to the food stamp families and those now on disability payments since it is easier to collect disability than find a decent job.

This proves I need to read top to bottom rather than bottom to top. Congratulations to the posters above whom beat me to the punch.
