Ok, SCHMUCK
I took time away from trading stocks to read that shit
and its still shit
Yes, some States "asked" for waivers....and DHS, gave States the "right" to change and ammend some shit
WINK WINK, NOD NOD.......We ALL know the truth.....
Even Clinton said so, till he was BOOKERIZED,
So STFU, we ALL know the truth
Now FUCK OFF, I GOTTA TRADE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![]()
These states, some with Republican governors, asked the federal government for more flexibility in how they hand out welfare dollars. Their purpose was to spend less time on federal paperwork and more time experimenting with ways to connect welfare recipients with jobs.
The Obama administration cooperated, granting waivers to some states from some of the existing rules.
The waivers gave "those states some flexibility in how they manage their welfare rolls as long as it produced 20% increases in the number of people getting work."
In some small way, the waivers might change precisely how work is calculated but the essential goal of pushing welfare recipients to work -- something both Democrats and Republicans agreed to in the 1990s -- remains the same.
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.
Temporary jobs are often the precursor to permanent ones. Want to talk U6? Fine, it's down 1.7% this past year. Stop focusing on single isolated data points and ignoring the trend.
And NOWHERE in this massive RW clusterfuck of spin are we hearing he fact that +418,000 workers joined the labor force. When that number drops we're told it's the main thing we need to be concerned with (not the dropping unemployment rate). When that number rises you disingenuous fucks filter it out and pretend it didn't happen.
This is not a partisan matter. Those of us who invest simply want to know what unemployment is as one indicator of economic vitality.
The method of measuring unemployment is unsatisfactory; everybody agrees on that.
Dept of Labor's U-6 is unchanged at 14.7 percent.

The unemployment rate in Ohio is probably going to drop down into the neighborhood of 6.8%/6.9% for the month. I wonder if Mitt is going to change his tune there...

Ohioians may be back to work, but they are still living in Ohio so its a wash.
But you keep on talking about how the Republicans are blocking everything Obama wants to do. So, are you saying that by blocking everything the economy is improving?
If that is the case, shouldn't we not do what Obama wants?
