Unemployment at 8.2%, BUT |
|
|
Posted by Chris R16/R2730 on Fri Apr 6 12:09:29 2012 That's not good. New jobs added in March were much lower than expected. As usual, the rate is being lowered because people are once again not looking for work (which for some stupid reason means they don't count):http://www.cnbc.com/id/46975031 |

Unemployment was never as high, or as closely watched as it is now.It was higher in 1982-83 than it has been any time since and was certainly closely watched then. I think it should be re-calculated no matter who is president. You can't just change an internationally accepted methodology. FWIW, the BLS does report several different measures of unemployment, including the rate including discouraged workers (it's 8.7 percent). |

There were also never nearly as many disaffected long-term unemployed people as there are now. The rate does not reflect them, but they still collect UEP checks and still need work. At no time in any previous president's reign have we seen such a LARGE disaffected workforce, at least not since Roosevelt. |

Unfortunately, over 100,000 fewer jobs were created last month than the previous 2. The difference is that over 160,000 have dropped out of the job market causing the unemployment number to drop. In reality, this is terrible news for the obamites. It may finally be a sign that higher gasoline prices are affecting the job market. |

Proff?You are mischaracterizing what the War on Women is all about. One cannot get a job and expect to keep it if they constantly run the risk of pregnancy. Working women need to maintain their family size to a manageable level, so the children do not suffer. Women are still paid 25% less over all, so cost and availability of basic medical care that includes contraceptives is an issue. These are basic concepts of reality that you still don't get. Although I can understand that. You're not the one dealing with these issues. |

I won't be so unpleasant as to suggest that I don't believe your statistics, however, perhaps you have a graph or chart handy? Of course the entire "war against women" thing is a distraction concocted by the left-leaning lemming losers to distract us from the real issue of the economy which, in case you have not noticed, still sucks. 13 million unemployed. Another 6 million underemployed. Half of those out of work more than 6 months. |

At the initial interview, I was told the only positions available to me were either secretarial (didn't qualify) and token attendants, that they would not put women on the railroad itself. An interview is no time to make a scene, or threaten to sue. In those times, such happened frequently to women. It was the era of "help wanted male, "help wanted female". Doesn't make it any less wrong. |
