Either way it's horseshit, but it's almost miraculous considering economists expect it will take a minimum of ten years to dig us out of the hole the Neocons put us in.

Themost important thing to point out is that most new jobs were part time jobs. If the unemployment rate went to Zero and we all had part time jobs because of it - then - IT IS THE FASTEST WAY TO RE_DISTRIBUTE THE WEALTH OF THE MIDDLE CLASS AND PUT PEOPLE ON A LOWER LEVEL. But as the king would say " it makes a level playing field and gives everyone a shot".

Part-time for everybody but 0% unemployed - great plan ObamaNOT.

Done told ya, bitchez!

chuckle

So, how many more people dropped off the unemployment roles and how many just gave up looking for work last month? That's the only way that number is coming down. Real unemployment has got to be close to 25% by now.

Everybody quit your job, move into a tent, and start dumpster diving. Then, we can have 0% unemployment.

So for the last 44 months jobs have not been even keeping up with the rate of population . So how is it that 100,000. Mostly part time minimum wage jobs brings the unemployment rate down nearly a full point!!! B.S.just another parlor trick from comrade obummer.

It didn't fall at all. First, the Government uses the U3 unemployment rate number, not the U6 unemployment rate.

The U6 unemployment rate counts not only people without work seeking full-time employment (the more familiar U-3 rate), but also counts "marginally attached workers and those working part-time for economic reasons." Note that some of these part-time workers counted as employed by U-3 could be working as little as an hour a week. And the "marginally attached workers" include those who have gotten discouraged and stopped looking, but still want to work. The age considered for this calculation is 16 years and over.

You can see from the link below that the U6 number has was 14.7% this month and 14.7% last month resulting in a net change of... what for it, ZERO and that is a Fact. All the reports on the MSM today trying to say otherwise are simply politicing.
