Only 74,000 jobs added in December

Hope this Changes.

it'll get better in the spring. Seasonal summer jobs will pump up the figures and the Fed will likely ease back the tapering in the fall to pump up the economy in conjunction with some heavy Obama social diversions to make his last ditch effort from losing congress, and in turn the rest of his presidency to a group that will hold him accountable.

 

Housing markets are getting stronger by the day, and you know they heat up over the spring/summer, which will drive some good numbers as well. Although rates inching above 5% will hurt that a little. If people are convinced we are headed back to 7-8% rates it may induce even more activity.

CNN was encouraging everyone to just 'shrug off' the report, because....you know... things are tough, thats nothing new, and the job market is Slooooooooowwwwwwwwly recovering... So just shrug it off.... Ignore it.

Things are tough because of the failed policies of Barack Obama! $7 trillion in debt over 5 years and still no recovery.

It goes back a little farther then those 5 years, Dumbass

Correct... The two years before that with the Democratic controlled congress...

[NewbieJr 541]

BUSH!

Oh sorry. That's right. You Republitards refer to those 8 years as the 'missing years'. They are not to ever be discussed. And when going back to show bad trends in the country, you can only go back as far as Obama's inauguration. You may not cross over into the 'missing years', even if it is very relevant to the point being made. Bwahahahaha

During the eight years under George W. Bush, his policies created just 1 million jobs (with another 2 million in the military). Since Barack Obama was sworn in five years ago, 7.6 million jobs have been created, and there are still nearly three years left in his term.

 

BUSH!!!!!

[NewbieJr 541]

Notice how quickly this thread changed away from job creation once a little perspective was thrown in.

[NewbieJr 541]

I've never been called cluesless in all my years. As soon as I look it up, I bet I'm going to feel insulted.

Claiming Obama is a Navy SEAL is exactly the 'perspective' we expect from you, Chicken Legs.

You claiming that I claimed Obama is a Navy SEAL is exactly the wordplay we'd expect you to turn to in defeat.

15 posts since I threw some real job numbers in your face. Not a single one about jobs. Hmmmm, sure takes the fun out of it when there's something real to compare it to.

During the eight years under George W. Bush, his policies created just 1 million jobs (with another 2 million in the military). Since Barack Obama was sworn in five years ago, 7.6 million jobs have been created, and there are still nearly three years left in his term.

 

BUSH!!!!!

In January 2009 when he took office: 133,976,000

In January 2014 (prelim): 137,499,000

 

I don't where you learned math, but that is 3,523,000, not the 7.6 million...

More jobs were lost before the 7.6 million were created. The assumption is Obama came in during a severe downtrend, had to manage that trend from becoming catastrophic, and then once things had bottomed out he could focus on rebuilding the labor market.

 

I think that is true but at some point Obama has to own the market we have now. I think that point has arrived.

He is off on Bush's number too, but nobody expects facts in his posts.

I understand that, but Newbie said "when he was sworn in", so went with January 2009... I am sure that the Obama administration used the lowest number possible to get their value...

Well you are right on the first point. I already explained the theory behind the second.

I just tried to fact check and got different numbers on every site I visited. For sake of argument, I'll use your figures.

 

3.5 million created under Obama in five years.

1.1 million created during Bush's eight years.

 

Next.

I am arguing the 7.6 million that you claimed he created since he took office... Not once did I mention Bush in my post...

[Recliner Pilot 61]

You would think all those people on unemployment would have created more jobs than that.

 

:sad:

Cool. I just b1tchslapped you with some facts. So feel free to do your own research to try to save face. I'm not doing it for you. I'm going to bask in my victory for a while. Wow, 3.56 created vs. 1.1.

Another lackluster jobs report:

 

 

Economists expected 178k and the result was 113k? That's 36% off. If they worked in the private sector they'd be fired.
