The Obama administration must be the best in many decades because...Jobless Claims Decline to Match Lowest Since 1973!! Jobless Claims in U.S. Decline to Match Lowest Since 1973 Quoting: Wash 2.0 The number of Americans filing applications for unemployment benefits unexpectedly declined last week to match a more than 42-year low, indicating employers are upbeat about an economy that bogged down in the first quarter. Jobless claims dropped by 13,000 to 253,000 in the week ended April 9, equaling the level in March that was the lowest since November 1973, a report from the Labor Department showed Thursday. The median forecast in a Bloomberg survey called for 270,000. Continuing claims also declined, to the lowest since mid-October. [link to www.bloomberg.com] ...or, maybe people are just giving up? political correctness is a doctrine.... fostered by a delusional, illogical minority...... and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media; which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end. |

Given what ive seen out of this administration, the nuber of doctored documents and statistics are at an all time high Quoting: Anonymous Coward 4268366 The statistics are probably correct. It's what they're measuring that's off, and they know it. These numbers are the wool that's pulled over our eyes. Unemployment stats DO NOT represent the number of unemployed Americans. These numbers represent the weekly filings of unemployment insurance claims. 1 out of 3 Americans are unemployed and that number is growing, not shrinking. They fail to mention the MILLIONS of workers whose unemployment insurance has long run out and therefore stopped filing. They fail to mention the MILLIONS of self employed and contractors who don't receive unemployment benefits and therefore don't file for them. They fail to mention the MILLIONS of recent college graduates who don't qualify for unemployment and therefore don't file. They fail to mention the MILLIONS of able-bodied welfare hounds that refuse to even try to work and therefore don't file for unemployment. Instead, they mention a virtually meaningless number and then pat themselves on the back, safe in the knowledge that they've fooled 'We the People' once again. |

I gave up... my wife gave up.... we raise her 4 kids on a chunk of land with no grid power or water, the kids attend the local school system, and the wife's ex has called cps on us 2 times, everything was great, we had no issues at all from them.... the kids dad sells used cars in San antonio... he gets summers, christmases, monthly weekends, and we drive them over 400 miles one way to get him his visits. He takes the wife back to court at least 2 times a year to try to win custody because of our off grid lifestyle, and keeps losing.... He tries to convince the kids to stay with him, they are 11 to 16.... they keep wanting to come home... Point is, we dropped out of the system because the system didn't work for us... all our friends are the same way, at least 6 families in our area....

The Obama administration must be the best in many decades because...Jobless Claims Decline to Match Lowest Since 1973!! The total working-age population of the U.S. is 204 million. The current total of working-age Americans NOT working is 95 million. Quoting: Doc Savage YOU do the math. Obama's unemployment figures are an obvious lie. While I agree generally, there are aspects of that number which are misleading. The age group under 35 and over 55 have steadfastly increased which has decreased their group's employment rate. Because of increases in health a portion of 55+ are not disabled, but not necessarily "hireable". Meanwhile a large percentage of under 35 are unemployed for various reasons. This could be laziness, entitlement mentality, or simply just don't feel like its worth looking for a job when they can live with their parents. The US employment heavily relies on 35-55yo group which is increasing in size-- but not the jobs. Last Edited by MaximusRex on 04/14/2016 11:43 AM |
