    93 MILLION working-age Americans are unemployed and have simply stopped looking for a job.That means only 63% of working age Americans have some type of job or are even looking to get one. That’s the lowest level in over 34 years, yet Berry O and his rich politician buddies tell us the economy is “strong”. Lol.

    For liberals, if the same statistics were under a Republican administration, they’d be screaming about how horrible things were. But under a Democrat they say it’s wonderful!

    HYPOCRITICAL LYING LIBERALS.

    It is done by a statistical survey. This is how they determine who stopped looking for work.

    Discouraged workers report they are not currently looking for work for one of four reasons:

    They believe no job is available to them in their line of work or area.They had previously been unable to find work.They lack the necessary schooling, training, skills, or experience.Employers think they are too young or too old, or they face some other type of discrimination.

    At best, it is a “soft” number and includes people who lack any real skills or people who don’t really need to work but would like to pick up a little extra money.

    A pretty good turnaround from 2008 when the economy was bleeding 700,000 a month and threatening to implode after eight disastrous years of unfunded wars, political giveaways, and tax cuts.

    The good news is, that if Barry can get even more Americans to stop looking for work, reported unemployment could go down to zero!

    Barry’s army doesn’t care about the economy now that Barry’s at the wheel. Just blame Bush and “move on”.

    Please no more of this “There you go blaming Bush!”

    If someone destroys your house, you have every right to blame him as you try to repair it.

    Especially when his party is doing everything they can to block the repairs so that they can blame you for how bad things are.

    I hope you’re not saying things were better back then. And there’s nothing desperate about giving credit where credit is due.

    Only a Republican who has never been without a job would be disappointed with the creation of 288,000 new ones.

    Casual Deflector……….

    The number of WORKING AGE Americans who are employed is currently 62.8%, which is the lowest it’s been in over 30 years since the Carter years.You can spin as much as you want for your hero Barry, but that is not a good sign for our economy.Time for a change!
