SINCE LEHMAN
More and more people without jobs. Goooooood NEWS!!! Yea Obama! Bring on even more, Hillary!
Transitory
It will be...as soon as they are fully removed from the labor force.
Lol, yes, because the other 94 million were counted once over the past 7 years.
yeah just another rough patch, lift off any day, week, month, year, oh wait it's been almost a decade now that we were about to lift off and grow like the good ole days. LMFAS
Anyone still believe these unemployment numbers? There are more jobs, almost all part time jobs with no fringe benefits, no pensions, no nothing. Don't expect television news to cover the bad unemployment situation, TV news is too busy reporting on the weather and accidents and other ephemera. Not the dismal U.S. and world economy or the outbreak of World War III in the Middle East. Notice the fleeting coverage by the nightly news shows that covered the rape-murder by ISIS of American hostage Kayla Mueller? One day and out of the news cycle. Breitbart correctly calls her a Christian martyr. Network news is more concerned with Caitlyn Jenner. Probably following orders from the Oval Office.
Aaaannnnd...look at the 10yr..what a fucking joke!
This is good news! People are actually looking for work again. Wait, that's bad news! Shit!
Sell bonds, buy stawks!! Mr. Yellen - get to work.
FUBAR NATION
Who said that we don't make anything anymore?
We make it up!
No one believes any of these reports anymore! Anyone seen Bonier or McConnell since they were elected by lying to the American people? Strange how this group lies then hides!
There's no hiding it now, bitches. BUY, BUY, BUY!
Yeah, no rate hike! We would be crazy not to buy stocks!
It's foolproof! Just ask a Chinese Grandma or an MF Global investor!
I have no faith in those numbers, and haven't for years. Lies, damed lies, and statistics, especially from this bunch. No credibility; that went out the window some time ago.
Yeah - but this is great news. If we could just eke out a loss every month, think how awesome that would be. The more people out of the workforce and no longer messing things up is only good for THIS economy!
Near the end there were two people left working, and for an entire week neither of them laid off the other and the number of new jobless claims reached zero which had never happened in recorded history, and so they celebrated, and they ate until they could eat no more and they drank until they could not stand, and they sang.
No bad jobs. Good. Here is CNBCs take on it: "The employment trend remains consistent with solid labor market momentum that could keep the Fed on track to raise interest rates this year."
I'm an English major. I like words but something doesn't seem right.
If your a dipshit reporter or .gov " worker" making $85 grand, things probably seem ok.
People, we are not talking about folks disrupted by technology. We are talking about folks who have had their livelihood stolen through offshoring and massive waves of illeagal invaders.
They are NOT immigrants. They are INVADERS. And has such, have no rights to our public benefits or anchor baby schemes.
Been doing some reading. Even the most liberal defenses of anchor baby scam ask.. " we would not confer citizen status to a foreign invader".
There is you answer Mr. Trump. Go get em.
no worries, holiday hiring and snow plowing right around the corner
Yeah, the numbers are all faked for hopium. I mean, the unadjusted number is 229k. Clearly, it was adjusted to . . . oh,, wait . . .
This is just people voluntarily leaving the workforce. They took Yhellins advice and bought up a bunch of high return assets.
We have reached peak everything…now what? Print moar? To infinity and beyond? Austerity? Right, just try to cut all those entitlements. As more jobs disappear, especially in tech, and are replaced by low-paying service jobs, or no jobs at all, even more people will demand government handouts. Another war to distract attention? Wars just drain the economy. Why do we need more aircraft carriers and subs and missiles and bombs, unless we are planning to provoke another war somewhere? The MIC loves wars, gets rid of the surplus population and gives them massive profits. More immigrants to pour in? They will become new consumers and we can party on? Hell, most work cheap, and Americans would rather sit on their fat asses, play with I-Toys and watch “Dancing with The Starts” anyway. Problem solved!
More debt is the bankers’ answer. It will fix everything. Keep rates cheap and companies will buy back shares and well trained brain-dead consumers, will borrow and buy stuff. In effect, buying their jobs. The Fed has left the country totally f***ed. Once again in an effort to re-inflate equities and the property bubbles, unneeded houses and condos are going up everywhere. People are borrowing what they can never pay back. Banks will need bailouts again. Rinse-repeat.
The pyramid has inverted permanently, and now the demand for handouts at the top, exceeds the amount paid in at the bottom. How can a person collect more Social Security benefits than they have paid in, plus any accrued interest? Where will the rest come from? Medicare? One big bill can wipe out everything paid in, plus the interest, then what? Get sick again, who pays the bills? All a Ponzi scheme. EBT cards, 45 million, one in seven people need them? Medicaid for illegals aliens? Go Trump! Tens of thousands of PTSD claims for former service members who were never in combat, never even left the USA? Why not? Never have to work again. Just sit at home and collect a check for the rest of your life.
We are going to tip over and will never get back up…QE 4,5 and 6 will not save us

hope it wasn't dark 'cause you might have mistaken her for your mother, jus sayin.
Wow. It looks like Barry's reign of economic genius is catching up with him I sure hope this doesn't hurt his legacy. That's more important than the stupid American peons out there. Ask any uninformed voter.
Must. Make. The. Fed. Print. Print. Print. LOL
Leading propaganda setting the stage for "Just Us" and their minons to pillage some more.
Even Trump said the unemployment numbers where 19 to 23 percent. He said it on the boob tube this morning.
