“How is it that month after month we continually lose jobs by large numbers, but we have somehow been stuck at 9.7% unemployment.”
Part of the answer, I think, is that, month after month, a fraction of the unemployed become “discouraged workers”, and drop off the list. Or get temporary employment for 1 day out of the month, etc.
To: claymax
It is as simple as lying....err, I mean, change the denominator....the denominator being the number of people in the “labor pool”.........lower that and the lower number of people “working” .........voila!.....the percentage remains the same or might be lower, depending how much you want to “lie” about the denominator!

usa is now nothing more than a socialist democracy
To: claymax
Clay, do you have any figures that you could post up to reinforce your statement. (I'm not doubting you or your math, I agree with ya, it just doesn't make sense, these 0Dumbo numbers).
I just thought you could share the info, that's all.
Because if you did...Well, I would spread it like wild-fire to all my contacts in a heart-beat.
As for me, well, I suck at math; and besides that, I would not even know where to begin to find these numbers.
Thanks.

You can always argue it could have been worse. This is child-like.

Isn’t it great to know that national policy is now directed with magical thinking?

Obama is an idiot.
Yes he is. He's also a liar - either now or back in 2009 when he and his idiot-savant "economists" swore up and down that if we just let them blow $1 trillion on "stimulus," unemployment would be down below 7% by now.

Every black politician in America should hate this man?s guts for ruining the chance of ever having another black President...
I totally understand your point - and this is not directed at you, personally - but there are actually MILLIONS and MILLIONS of us who can judge a person by their character and not the color of their skin...AND, trust me, many libs got a hard on for the Big O simply BECAUSE of his skin tone. Idiots.
Facebook post from my most liberal (and white Hollywood comedy writer) friend, shortly after the election: “I like my coffee the same color as my presidents!”

How is it that month after month we continually lose jobs by large numbers, but we have somehow been stuck at 9.7% unemployment. Because the government keeps hiring more worthless/useless idiots?
