8.1%
We add only 96,000 jobs and yet suddenly another 368,000 "quit looking for work" so the unemployment number can drop from 8.3% to 8.1%?
What a bunch of crap.
There are 89 million people in the US that supposedly aren't in the workforce.
Labor participation dropped to 63.5%, the lowest in 30 years.
unemployment goes down?
BULL !
hilarious
and the figure would be even more astonishing if it also includes those who're under-employed imho. of college graduates from 06 onward, only a half are now employed at full time jobs while the others are either working part-timely or completely unemployed imho
sad times.
The private sector continues FAILING to overcome the Banksters Great Depression.
Repug blind, rigid ideology: govt can't create jobs or wealth.
nothing hilarious about it, if ur unemployed and not registered with the SS program, htf do they know ur unemployed, then there are some with savings in the bank who cant qualify for unemployment benefits that doesnt add to the unemployment rate...

Bad Jobs on the Rise
The decline in the economy’s ability to create good jobs is related to deterioration in the bargaining power of workers, especially those at the middle and the bottom of the pay scale. The restructuring of the U.S. labor market – including the decline in the inflation-adjusted value of the minimum wage, the fall in unionization, privatization, deregulation, pro-corporate trade agreements, a dysfunctional immigration system, and macroeconomic policy that has with few exceptions kept unemployment well above the full employment level – has substantially reduced the bargaining power of U.S. workers, effectively pulling the bottom out of the labor market and increasing the share of bad jobs in the economy.
In this paper, we define a bad job as one that pays less than $37,000 per year (in inflation-adjusted 2010 dollars); lacks employer-provided health insurance; and has no employer-sponsored retirement plan. By our calculations, about 24 percent of U.S. workers were in a bad job in 2010 (the most recently available data). The share of bad jobs in the economy is substantially higher than it was in 1979, when 18 percent of workers were in a bad job by the same definition. The problems we identify here are long-term and largely unrelated to the Great Recession. Most of the increase in bad jobs – to 22 percent in 2007 – occurred before the recession and subsequent weak recovery.

Time to make a change.
I'm Yonivore and I approved this message.
change to what?Time to make a change.
I'm Yonivore and I approved this message.
I think the first thing he'll change is lifting the moratorium on Gulf drilling, actually stop blocking the XL Pipeline, and abating regulations that are driving the coal industry out of business. Then, he'll call the dogs off of their fracking witch hunt.
You'll see positive employment numbers in pretty short order.
Change to the awesome shape this country was in when Bush left office, tbh.
Which of their policies assure a comeback?Time to make a change.
I'm Yonivore and I approved this message.
And what needs to comback? the 1% and corps are doing extremely well.
what are the plans to solve the ongoing residential and commercial real estate crisis?
or is Yoni's politics nothing but Blind Faith?
Trickle down economics, tbh.
Cutting taxes on the rich has always been the antidote this country needs.
None of them; but neither do Obama's
Thanks, presumably, to Obama - so why do you focus so much attention on the Republican's pandering to that group?And what needs to comback? the 1% and corps are doing extremely well.
I haven't heard any; and what Obama and co. has tried has failed.what are the plans to solve the ongoing residential and commercial real estate crisis?
Not just Yoni; just about ALL who have chosen a side. If OUR guy wins things will get better; if THEIR guy wins things will be the WORST EVER; END OF AMERICA AS WE KNOWWWWW IT!!!!! (we've all seen, and many believe, this rhetoric spewing from both sides - several here certainly believe that about the "other" side; I could name names, but you all know who you are)or is Yoni's politics nothing but Blind Faith?
In the end; nothing changes; two sides of the same coin, after all. It, literally, doesn't matter which of the two politicians running for president win. Choose your side; argue vehemently for it, and against the other; YOU are part of the problem (a useful idiot), not the solution.
yep, since ST Ronnie cut (his) capital gains to 15% 30+ years ago, trickle down has assured that real household incomes have remained essentially flat.
dubya's tax cuts for the rich and estate taxes saw almost no job growth 2001-2008, lowes job growth since 1945.
you do realize that the pipeline concerns were first raised the Governor of Nebraska.... right?
so Romney will disregard Nebraska's concerns and build it anyway...ooookOMAHA, Neb. - The company that wants to build a pipeline to transport crude oil from Canada to Gulf Coast refineries said Wednesday it has revised its proposed new route through Nebraska to avoid environmentally sensitive areas.
The latest proposed Keystone XL pipeline route is TransCanada's second attempt to satisfy state environmental regulators. The Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality said in July that the initial revised route crossed land that could erode easily and passed near unconfined aquifers that supply drinking water to residents and livestock.The new TransCanada proposal tweaks that April plan, making the route veer east shortly after entering the state to avoid more of the sensitive areas in Keya Paha County, east again around the town of Clarks and west around the town of Western to avoid drinking water well fields.
Nebraska regulators said they would review the new proposal and hold a public hearing on it before submitting a recommendation to the governor, possibly by the end of the year. The governor will decide whether to approve the new route for the pipeline.
Environmental groups have long opposed the pipeline project because of concerns that it could contaminate underground and surface water supplies, increase air pollution around refineries and harm wildlife.
Bold Nebraska's Jane Kleeb said the latest new route doesn't go far enough to address her group's concerns about potential erosion of the Sandhills and groundwater contamination, so she believes state and federal officials should block the pipeline.
"The route still crosses the aquifer and it still crosses sandy soil, so all of the same concerns remain," Kleeb said.
TransCanada spokesman Grady Semmens said only 36 miles of the 275 miles of pipeline in Nebraska would cross sandy soils, and the new route entirely avoids the area Nebraska defined as the Sandhills.
The pipeline is designed to carry oil from Canada across Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. TransCanada also has proposed connecting it to the Bakken oil field in Montana and North Dakota.

The Real Estate market is turning around for the first time in years and jobs in the area are growing. Whatever Obama has done to stimulate that industry, it's a lot better than what Bush did seeing that Bush's policies led to the biggest Real Estate crash ever.
"Drill Baby, Drill!" is still what Republicans think will fix this economy
You picked the least significant of the three but, it's still important.
The biggest employment gains will be realized in lifting the moratorium on Gulf Drilling and stopping the assault on coal. I'm sure Romney will work with the local States through which the pipeline travels.
Then, Romney should look at the various policies, in the current administration, he determines to be stifling economic growth and start lifting them. Instead of "unchaining Wall Street," lifting the oppressive boot of government that is causing business to park their investment dollars due to the uncertainty of what Obamacare and other costly measures, promised by Obama, in a second term.
He could work with Congress -- hopefully all Republican but, that may not be necessary, to get Obamacare repealed. If you recall, a few of the Democrats had to be bribed into voting for that piece of ; I believe the two most prominent examples were given names like "Cornhusker Kickback" and "Louisiana Purchase." Romney could begin by rescinding any executive waivers granted to gain support and see if those companies and States will pressure Congress to reverse the madness.
I think he should then revamp the Department of Energy to stop the black hole of "investing in green energy."
Those are just a few things he could do to turn things around fairly quickly.
You need to research who was in charge of much of the mortgage industry when the hit the fan. You'll see names like Barney Franks, Chris Dodd, Maxine Waters, the idiot that also built the wall between the FBI and Intelligence before 9-11, Jamie Gorelick, and yes, even Barack Obama. You'll also encounter en ies such as Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, Countrywide Mortgage, ACORN. And, then, you'll see Democrat legislation such as the 1996 amendments to the Community Reinvestment Act.The Real Estate market is turning around for the first time in years and jobs in the area are growing. Whatever Obama has done to stimulate that industry, it's a lot better than what Bush did seeing that Bush's policies led to the biggest Real Estate crash ever.
You'll also see that President Bush tried, multiple times, to bring some sanity to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac but, each time, he was shot down by Democrats in Congress. The videos of Barney Frank, Maxine Waters, and Jamie Gorelick claiming there were no fiscal problem with Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are legendary.
Real estate crisis, blah blah blah. Culture trumps ideology. The root cause was corruption and it was bipartisan. Corrupt governments and corrupt systems mean that countries fail. When democracy becomes this broken-down and inefficient it needs to be suspended for a little while. You have to hit the reset button and wait for the computer to reboot. Under my plan, we will move the needle on culture back towards national greatness.
Drilling for oil in the Gulf is going to solve the unemployment crisis singlehandedly. Habeeb it.

Meh. It is simply the way unemployment is measured, and the way it has been measured for quite some time.
Why does it concern you?
Yes, the obvious answer for the problems of democracy is to get rid of democracy.
