Keep in mind that jobs created under Obama were actually in spite of Obama. Can you imagine what this table would look like if the U.S. economy weren’t experiencing an oil boom.

Obama has created 100 gazillion jillion jobs! Nobody can find them, but he created them. If you want proof, ask Obama!

The number of “jobs” is meaningless. Replace a full-time job with benefits with three 10 hour a week part time jobs and the number of “jobs” has tripled. The Progressive Era (Bush/Clinton/Bush/Obama) has seen the real individual income of paycheck-earning Americans plummet. The unholy alliance of Communists and Corporatists is making this happen and they also define the economic indicators to make it all appear to just be tinfoil hat stuff.

But.... But Obama just said the other day that by every measurable metric Americans are better off now than when he took office.

He doesn’t ever even read what they put in front of him before it comes on his teleprompter is my guess.

[lakeman]

But But on 9-5-14 Adam Hartung in Forbes said Obama was way better then Reagan. I’m confused do I believe the BLS or Forbes???

The impressive numbers shown in the chart during the KKKommie KKKlitoon years were not of his doing. The reality is that Newt Gingrich and his Conservative allies were, for all practical purposes, running things in the 1990s. It was the application of time-proven Conservative economic principles of the free market that allowed for American prosperity to occur along with jobs. KKKlintoon was just a bystander, occupied with other things such as Monica Lewinsky and setting the wheels in motion for the terrorist attacks of 9/11.

Carter created 10 million jobs? LOL!

[DoughtyOne]

Take a look at Bush’s numbers again. In his first time there was a net loss of jobs. His second term they were as anemic as Obama’s.

Take a look at Clinton’s numbers for reference. 11 million his second term, to Bush’s net loss in his first term.

The average figure of jobs created per term for the prior 40 years was over 9%. Under Bush it went negative for the first time in forty years.

Clinton’s numbers look a whole lot better than they would have otherwise, because Congress went to Newt in January 1995.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Put aside who is at fault — this chart shows the incredible disaster the last 15 years have been. Bush’s and Obama’s was horrible.

[nitzy]

The startling thing is that since 2001 we have added around 2 million jobs but we have added around 30 million people.

That is scary.

There are legions of people in the U.S. who think it is normal not to work. At the same time there are legions of people who think it is normal to work 60 hours a week or work 2 jobs. Neither are normal or healthy in the long term for a society.

Didn’t realize job growth under Bush was so piss poor....
