The Employment Situation in July | The White House

Lowest level since December of 2008.

When it gets back to under 5%, I will cheer.

OP, you can't be this obtuse. Totally bogus as anyone with even a little economic background knows.

Ha!


Part time jobs.

Why was Obama concerned about race relations getting worse, as he recently said, due to the being a smaller pie from which everyone can get a piece?

Some "recovery".

If every single worker in the US was employed part time it could be zero.

We can't call that an accomplishment.

Without comparing U6 over time this means squat.

This is 2013, the days where people get disappointed and angry when the unemployment rate falls.

Or is it just because Obama is in office?

Don't mean to disappoint you but the u6 unemployment rate also dropped.

Myself and others were predicting about a year ago that PT jobs would increase and drop the UE rate and the dolts would cheer. The tin foil hatters had that one right by the evidence of this thread.

Since when did a part time job = unemployed?
