Yikes, nearly 600K thrown out of the labor force this month alone.

Participation rate plummets down to 62.4%, Employment ratio hovers at 59.2%, only one point off the very bottom of the recession.

When 0bama was first elected - financial crisis.

When 0bama (presumably) leaves office - financial crisis.

The time in between isn’t so hot either.

Indeed.

Those two endpoints are the highlights of his career.

All that time in between, a huge U-shaped dip for everything American and Christian.

I like your tag line.

BTW, bloomberg.com shows a picture of people in the unemployment line, and all except one is black.

What to make of it? It is intentional for some reason.

Either that 0bama’s policies are keeping black people down, or only whites are getting the jobs.

Being Bloomberg my vote goes for the latter.

Whatever, man.

Of course, no rational person actually believes this or, for that matter, most government-provided figures.

Man.

That is the headline from CBS/AP.

The bloom must really be off the Obama rose.

That’s the establishment number. The broader household number shows a drop of 350,000 fewer jobs. The unemployment rate stays at 5.1 because 579,000 left the workforce.

But auto sales are up BIG. (Due to very attractive incentives due to high inventory, I may add.)

No, they're still white-washing something that's disastrous to make it look merely not-so-good.

August jobs number revised DOWN 37K! And July number revised DOWN also! This report is absolutely horrific!

"The unemployment rate remained unchanged at 5.1 percent." What a bunch of horse hockey.

The real rate is much closer to 13%, we never left the Great Recession and soon it will be much worse, cause by socialist policies of our dear leader. A big thank you to all those who voting for him.
