The unemployment number, as you know, is totally fiction

[HisArpy]

Not only did you make up statistics, but you're pretty stupid at math as well.

There are roughly four times as many white folks as black folks in the USA. Whites make up roughly 62% of the population, Blacks 14%. For you to state that you simply "add the two numbers together" when whites make up 72% of your sample (62/62+14) is ridiculous.

Moron. You doubt my numbers but YOUR OWN FIGURES prove you're an idiot.

Your logic fails completely. DID I NOT SAY "From what I remember"? Doesn't this mean I didn't MAKE UP the numbers but was relying on a faulty memory? DID I NOT SAY THIS ALREADY?

Weren't the numbers we are currently using provided by YOU?

Can't you read? Or comprehend. Or is your zeal to be right so overwhelming you can't THINK and/or realize that you're criticizing YOURSELF?

Now, that said, and using the numbers YOU provided...

IF:
9.6% of group B is unemployed; AND 4.8 percent of group W is unemployed; what is the approx rate of unemployment of the two groups combined?

14.4%

Do you dispute this? If so, are you saying that if you combine the unemployment rate of groups B and W, somehow the total number of unemployed in group B drops?

From there:

IF:
Groups B AND W comprise 78% of the total population, what is the approximate unemployment rate if the remainder 22% (Group X) has 0 unemployment?

12.29%

Do you dispute this?


IF:
For the final statistical unemployment rate of the ENTIRE POPULATION GROUP of B, W, and X to be 4.7%, the members of group X (the remaining 22%) would have to be employed in excess of 100%.

Do you dispute this?



It has become painfully obvious that you twist and parse and bloviate when you are wrong in an effort to deflect. Then, when someone calls you on it, you change the parameters of the discussion in an effort to distract from your failings. Meanwhile your deflection is proven as false as your original premise. So you deflect again. And again. And yet again.

Tit for tat. It takes one to know one. Yada yada yada. You're still a moron no matter how many times you try to say it's someone else's fault.

It was 0% under the almighty Obama, now it's 30% because trump? Lol

What a partisan dipshit.

Thank you!

Many of us have been calling Trump a partisan dipshit for a long time. Glad you've finally come around.

Partisan he ain't. Not in the usual sense. He's a party of one.

This is beyond Conager-stupid.
This is beyond AJ-stupid.

To get the percentage of both groups combined you have to allocate proportionally.

There are 14% blacks in the USA
There are 61% whites in the USA
That accounts for 75% of the population.

To allocate proportionally
Multiply the black unemployment rate by the proportion of the population (14/75) or .19 rounded. Therefore the black percentage to add is .096 (rate) times .19. This equals .018 rounded.

Next
Multiply the white unemployment rate by the proportion of the population (61/75) or .81 rounded. Therefore the white percentage to add is .048 (rate) times .81. This equals .039 rounded.

Add the two red numbers together and you get the correct percentage of the combination of blacks and whites together unemployed.
.018 + .039 = .057. This is a rate of 5.7%

What's even more fun is if you plug in the REAL unemployment rates by race from the BLS instead of the bullshit arbitrary rates you made up.

Let's do teh math together!
To allocate proportionally
Multiply the black unemployment rate by the proportion of the population (14/75) or .19 rounded. Therefore the black percentage to add is .079 (REAL rate) times .19. This equals .015 rounded.

Next
Multiply the white unemployment rate by the proportion of the population (61/75) or .81 rounded. Therefore the white percentage to add is .040 (REAL rate) times .81. This equals .032 rounded.

Add the two red numbers together and you get the correct percentage of the combination of blacks and whites together unemployed.
.015 + .032 = .047. This is a rate of 4.7%

Looking For A Job? Afraid Of Snakes? Florida Needs Python Hunters

March 14, 2017
Heard on Morning Edition

(NPR) South Florida officials tell the Tampa Bay Times they're hiring 25 people to kill pythons in the Everglades. The job pays $8.10 an hour plus the opportunity for bonuses.

I saw a chart the other day, our real unemployment – because you have ninety million people that aren’t working. Ninety-three million to be exact. If you start adding it up, our real unemployment rate is 42 percent.

Rob, you're to be commended for even trying to educate the dimwits.

Bringing attention to the mistakes of wingnuts comes second nature to me.

Where's Conager to explain significant figures to HisArpy?

Queerbait's doing heavy lifting over in the Hashtag thread, posting as James_1957

Possibly one of his alts ,he has many of them .

I dunno, this guy seems far more ignorant than the usual Queerbait alt.

That number includes everyone over 65. Also remember that not every household is a two-income household, there are still many homes across Murica where one parent works and the other tends the kids.

I wonder what the point of THIS thread is? We know that the numbers reported by the Labor Dept. are bogus and have been ever since the Obama admin. decided to 'cook the books.'

Trump addressed the core issue in his joint congress address. "90 million Americans not working." It seems to me he has a grasp on the real issue.

We know exactly what the point is.

Funny, he never mentioned this while Obama was President.

I seem to recall that to point out anything about the cooked unemployment numbers was racist.


The only thing different now that I can discern is that THE Orange Don isn't eligible for Affirmative Action benefits.

(I really like the sound economic terms such as "great economists.")

Can you not fucking read for comprehension Buttercup?

I'll bet, as inferred in that which you quoted, that you never typed anything like the OP when Obama was President.

Now, run along, find your quotes and prove me wrong. Better yet, just run along, we're done with you on this topic...
