GOP takes full control of NC.....and unemployment rates fall off the table......UPDATED: NC Teacher minimum pay to be increased 14%

From the article linked:

"It doesn't tell us whether people are finding jobs or just totally dropping out of the workforce."


Or just leaving that low wage shithole of a state.

i'll be sure to remember that statement when the Fed touts it's unemployment numbers.


there is no evidence of being leaving NC in mass.

Do you live in NC?

the number of employed has gone up 20,000 since November

You didn't post the whole thing...

"But even if this is mostly a function of people dropping out of the labor force, the actual unemployment rate does still matter for Fed policy. So if you think this has any predictive value for the national number (which could be debated) ths number still matters."

Good thread Oyster

5*

Born and raised, I got out and won't be going back.

That's great good for them, but still does not address my point. We don't actually know how many people are unemployed or underemployed. And how many of those 20k jobs are sit-paying part-time work. The GOP is destroying NC.

what specifically is your beef with NC?

LOL

You two are funny.

Typical libs..

If the facts and stats don't fit your theory...just change the facts.

Same here.

You guys should've stayed...I hear Clay Aiken is running to be a rep.

Hmm, I make 6 figures in NC and quite enjoy it. Thanks for the constructive input.

you sure about that?

it's over for NC liberals

conservatives have proven to run the state better

It's over for libs on this thread now too...you totally took what they said provided facts and provesd they were wrong.

They really have nothing left to say

Evan why are you such a puppet?

Do you actually think any "GOP" criminal cares about you and yours?

Do you actually think calling someone a "liberal" discounts what they say?

Wake up dude, both parties are a scam. They don't give a damn about people outside of their gated community mansions.

So let Me get this strait taxing employers 50% or more is going to create jobs?? Please answer Libs I would like to know how You reason this. I for one am self employed and I pay 50% of my wages to the government and I can't even survive. So please enlighten Me on how am I a contract worker going to pay a plumber or a lawn guy to do My yard when My fucking account is over drawn? You people really disgust Me and all I ever wanted was to be left the fuck alone. The problem with You idiots is because Your life is so fucking miserable You want everyone else miserable with you. Oh and before You call Me some rich fuck I'll let You know I made my first 100K on a hourly rate between 11.50 and 16 dollars an hour now figure out how I did that. Well I'll make it fucking easy I went offshore and I worked 9 months strait and sacrificed everything while punks like You set at home bitching about Your lot in life.

I have heard those same talking points over and over and over and over....

I don't care which party puts the policies in place that actually help the state. I don't fully trust either...

but whichever side makes the environment business friendly, and lowers taxes, which creates jobs, lowers unemployment etc etc, I will applaud for that action

thank you for the pin

turns out they are flocking here

"The most recent population estimates showed North Carolina with 9,848,060 people on July 1, 2013 — an increase of 99,696 from 2012. The Census Bureau estimates that 38 percent of the growth resulted from people moving into the state from other parts of the country — a factor known as domestic migration."

When was the last time you went to an impoverished section of North Carolina? Or an area with a high amount of minorities? What are these parts of the state like?

Why is it the affluent areas always seem to be the ones improving with GOP control?

Why are you answering your own questions and embarrassing yourself??

lol

I will just leave this one alone...

anyone who lived in the Queen City when McCrory was Mayor and on City Council will tell you about the growth we saw under McCrory.

Now that he leads the State we are seeing the same growth statewide.

remember the name Pat McCrory, he'll be running for President one day I am sure.

there are impoverished areas of every state......
