It's a lotta fun watching the usual suspects desperately trying to spin the improving economy as a "negative".

Hey NIGGERPOOP,

lest anyone forget

The EVIL DUMZ and LIBZ all told us

2001-2008

While the economy was GROWING 3% plus and 200K-400K jobs per month were created

and

Unemployent was 5% or so

It was ALL LIES

ALL JOBS were HAMBURGER FLIPPING JOBS

It was teh WORST economy since H Hoover

HAVE YOU ALL FORGOTTEN?
 
what's with the flap on the back of those furry's outfits?

Based on the smell, it must be where they store their shit.
 
That's exactly what Vatican and Beco believe though. How come you aren't correcting them?

By disproportionate numbers, these Americans have given up looking for work, making the nation’s recovery appear better than it is. If the unemployment rate counted the 2.8 million people who want jobs but have stopped looking, it would sit at 9.9 percent rather than its current 8.3 percent. The Washington Post/Feb 7th

Why would you count retirees?
 
go read the article.

Goddamn you're ignorant. Willfully so. Stop letting extremists spoon feed you their lying spin and read the BLS report for yourself.

In January, 2.8 million persons were marginally attached to the labor
force, essentially unchanged from a year earlier.
(The data are not
seasonally adjusted.) These individuals were not in the labor force,
wanted and were available for work, and had looked for a job sometime
in the prior 12 months. They were not counted as unemployed because
they had not searched for work in the 4 weeks preceding the survey.
(See table A-16.)

Among the marginally attached, there were 1.1 million discouraged
workers in January
, little different from a year earlier. (The data
are not seasonally adjusted.) Discouraged workers are persons not
currently looking for work because they believe no jobs are available
for them. The remaining 1.7 million persons marginally attached to the
labor force in January had not searched for work in the 4 weeks
preceding the survey for reasons such as school attendance or family
responsibilities.
(See table A-16.)

So 1.7 million of your 2.8 are out there for reasons unrelated the the state of the economy. We could be in an economic boom and that figure would still be there. It will always be there.

But whatever. Every time a kid quits his job to go to college well let's just call that an Obama job loss, okay? What's that? A woman just had a baby and is going to be a mom for a couple years? OMG OBAMA TOOK HER JOB!!!!!!!!

Hearty growth in concrete, shovel-ready jobs... The exact kind conservatives attack Obama for there not being enough of. Why aren't they here to praise the report???


In the goods-producing sector, manufacturing added 50,000 jobs. Nearly
all of the increase occurred in durable goods manufacturing, with job
growth in fabricated metal products (+11,000), machinery (+11,000),
and motor vehicles and parts (+8,000). Durable goods manufacturing has
added 418,000 jobs over the past 2 years.

Employment in construction increased by 21,000 in January, following a
gain of 31,000 in the previous month. Over the past 2 months,
nonresidential specialty trade contractors added 30,000 jobs.


Mining added 10,000 jobs in January, with most of the gain in support
activities for mining (+8,000). Since a recent low in October 2009,
mining employment has expanded by 172,000.


The size of government payrolls shrunk by more than a quarter million over the past 12 months (and around 600,000 since Obama took office). Where are our conservative friends on this? Why aren't they here applauding the report? Perhaps they're too busy off somewhere telling their lying-ass stories about the numbers of government workers expanding under Obama?

Government employment changed little in January. Over the past 12
months, the sector has lost 276,000 jobs, with declines in local
government; state government, excluding education; and the U.S. Postal
Service.
