It's An Unemployment Miracle!

[miles]

The rate allegedly fell to 7.8% in September. 100,000 jobs were created and 800,000 people found work. (Don't do the math).

Jesus must have had something to do with it! Unemployment has been above 8% for 43 straight months and three weeks before the election it suddenly drops substantially!

Who said there were no more miracles?

The real one, that is, not that ZCMI store-brand knockoff Jeezis.

Yep, finally got that job as a greeter at Wal-Mart.

I've always wondered what they get paid...

The smiles they get are their own reward. The money isn't important since a full-time greeter qualifies for Medicaid and food stamps.

The head of the BLS is a Republican. Are we calling him an Obama shill now?

They get paid just as much as floor staff and cashiers. I have a friend that works there.

When Obama gutted teh work rules for welfare

It was mandated that reading a computer, helping a neighboor, reading books, is NOW considered work


WONDER HOW MANY ARE NOW COUNTED AS EMPLOYED?

Are you going to start claiming that Obama is the Messiah, too?

No, no, Miles sez Obama is "der Fuhrer". Do a search on "Obama" and "Fuhrer" for userid Miles and marvel at how consistent he is.

Hitler had Jesus on his side, did he?

Even better! Hitler had Pope Pius XII!

I think Jesus outranks the Pope though.

It's always sad to see stories about unemployed mackerels.

He has more seniority.

Update II: One of the main reasons the rate fell was because of a surge in part-time jobs.

Via AEI:


Only in an era of depressingly diminished expectations could the September jobs report be called a good one. It really isn’t. Not at all.

1. Yes, the U-3 unemployment rate fell to 7.8%, the first time it has been below 8% since January 2009. But that’s only due to a flood of 582,000 part-time jobs. As the Labor Department noted:

“The number of persons employed part time for economic reasons (sometimes referred to as involuntary part-time workers) rose from 8.0 million in August to 8.6 million in September. These individuals were working part time because their hours had been cut back or because they were unable to find a full-time job.”

2. The broader U-6 rate — which takes into account part-time workers who want full-time work and lots of discouraged workers who’ve given up looking — stayed unchanged at 14.7%. That’s a better gauge of the true unemployment rate and state of the American labor market.

Only because of nepotism.
