MSNBC: December Jobs Report Is ‘Awful,’ ‘Very Bad,’ And ‘Ugly’
Washington Free Beacon ^ | 01-09-2014 | Staff

Posted on 01/10/2014 10:14:10 AM PST by Red Badger

MSNBC admitted that the December jobs report was dismal Friday.

CNBC’s Michelle Caruso-Cabrera announced the newly released report number. Only 74,000 jobs were created in December, a number that fell significantly short of the 200,000 anticipated created jobs.

Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough commented “That’s a horrific number” and said that the newly added jobs number is the lowest seen in years.

Caruso-Cabrera confirmed Scarborough’s statement, saying that the newly added jobs number is in fact the lowest since January of 2011 and the number was “very, very bad.”

Well, golly. It looks as if the happy talk brigade is finally having trouble deceiving themselves.

I’m sure that won’t last!

Soon they will say that only those people with jobs really WANT TO work, so ‘unemployment’ is really 0.0%

The reason they appointed Yellen at the Feds is because she is a feminist stooge, just like Obama. Thus she helps divide the masses between genuine critics and idiots held hostage to welfare, gender and race inadequacies and psychedelics.

Be afraid, be very afraid, if she is there it means something bad is brewing.

That can’t be. The Won just said today that we have a recovery, and it’s “real.” He’s declaring a “year of action.” Guess he plans to play more golf.

Just wait until January's numbers come out.

Of course the Dems will continue to blame Bush, The Tea Party people and pretty much anyone other than those who should be blamed.

Get ready for Porkulus III.

Yes, yes... bad numbers, but how is this the Republican’s fault?

That is what MSNBC viewers need to be told.

Yes, they play with numerators and denominators. The Soviets sent the unemployed to death camps. We do similar games with assessment of the labor force, saying it is good to retire idle or be unemployed.

It is all death based economics.

Even they have run out of excuses and ideas. They had hoped that the economy would have recovered by now so that they could crow about all their programs and policies being wonderful and great. They were running out the clock on ‘Bush’s fault’ and now they have missed the field goal...........................

Of course they can. The man is still alive, isn't he? As long as he's still alive, there will be those who worship at that altar who can be convinced he's behind the scenes, ruining everything.

The only employment figure that you should bother with is the Employment/Population Ratio. It's the only one that can't be jiggered for political reasons. Simply take the number of people with jobs and divide by the total population. This is what it looks like:



What in the world happened in 2008 to cause that disastrous drop?

Words from the mac daddy administration are meaningless, it’s just one lie after another and they have no creditability.

It does bring to mind that Monty Python skit about the parrot, doesn't it?
