Economy added 255,000 jobs in July

Govt jobs don't count since they're paid with taxes. They're basically fake jobs. Take those out.

Nothing to brag about......considering we need between 140,000 and 159,000 jobs per month to keep up with population growth. Who's going to vote for Hillary when she'll just be 4 more years of Obama?

 

Actually half way isn't too bad considering Obama had the Republican Congress doing everything they could to keep anynrevovery from occuring.

And by the way it wasn't just the housing bubble that the country was recovering from it was also the near collapse of the entire banking system.

 

Well you get four more years of Obama or four more years of another Republican ... who was the last one? Some guy named Bush right - you remember him (we were losing 200,000 jobs a month and the GDP was MINUS 2%).
Personally, I'd rather have slow, controlled growth than the boom and bust cycles - getting too old for that crap.

 

Well in that case we will be three quarters of the way towards recovering from the Republican/ Bush fiasco. That Compares favorably with the obvious fact that under Trump's economic plan the economy will collapse totally making Bush's mess look like a beginner disaster.

 

Want to guess what percentage of the employed in this country have some type of government jobs?

 

Yes, it's a shame the Democrats forced lenders to to make home loans the people that never stood a chance of paying them back.

How the Democrats caused the crash.

Pressured to Take More Risk, Fannie Reached Tipping Point

See the above post.

 

And that is because it is completely false!!!

When the ACA passed there were just over 9 million working PT who wanted FT jobs, there are under 6 million now!!!!!

 

Repeating that disinformation will never make it a "F-ing fact."

There are over 3 million less people working PT who want FT jobs since the ACA was signed into law.

 

That is a professionally crafted deliberate deception!

The increase in PT jobs is ENTIRELY from those who ONLY want to work PT.
PT workers who want FT jobs have DECLINED by over 3 million.

 

Pure hogwash!

We need only 118,367 jobs per month to keep up with population growth.

Government jobs have DECLINED by over half a million since Obama took office as opposed to INCREASING by over 1 million under Bush!

 

Your calculator is worthless.

 

You guys are talking two different sets of numbers. One is jobs necessary to compensate for population growth and the other is the number to keep unemployment rate steady. Think for a minute and you will figure out why the second has to be larger than the first.

 

And the trust fund babies.

You have a typo.

We were losing 800,000 jobs a month when the last Republican president left office.

 

You've been deceived by false right wing propaganda.

Almost all the new jobs created since the recovery are full time jobs. The number of people working part time because they have to has fallen by a couple million over the past couple years.

There has been a small increase in overall part time jobs, because there has been an increase of people who want to work part time instead of full time, as is typical of more elderly workers.

 

Murdoch's WSJ is hardly a credible source and any "survey" by them even less so. Did they show how the "economists" calculated their numbers like my source did? Of course not!

 

Reagan showed how you get a horrible economy going again and obama showed how you limp along. The housing bubble burst and the banking industry collapse were all part of the same problem that the dem Congress created when they demanded banks give sub prime loans

 

D you think I thought it was good back then just because of who is in office? You have me confused with mindless drones who worship politicians.

It would be helpful if you backed up this claim with some evidence as I did in my claim.

 

If that is the case how have you kept your full-time job?

Better yet how many forum members have lost their full-time and job and work two part-time jobs now?

 

Maybe we should have done it more like when Reagan was prez.

Reagan
Federal Spending increase, 1981-1986: +46.0%.
Total government employment, 1981-1986: +879,000

Obama
Federal Spending increase, 2009-2014: -0.53%
Total government employment, 2009-2014: -540,000

Reagan had to rebuild an emaciated military and fight the cold war which he won. Subsequent presidents like clinton inherited the peace dividend which was Reagan's legacy

 

Reagan's massive increases in spending and overall increases in government employments powered his recovery.

With the GOP Congress, during Obama we got austerity.

We've seen the difference. Along with a middle class gutted with three decades of "trickle down" economics.

 

Here's what I want to ask you: How can we conflate a mere decrease of 0.53(not even one PERCENT) of government spending with the loss of thousands of government jobs? Something tells me it isn't quite proportional.

Maybe, the loss of government employment was due to quite a few jobs being redundant. Maybe paying that much money to such a small working force(the public sector is always by definition, much larger) was inefficient. In any event, I fully support getting 540,000 jobs back. But I'm not sure if that alone is the cause.
