    From that report Doog just cited (and deleted)

    1.2 million is the number of long term unemployed workers with the last report.

    He was trying to make the claim it was 5.7 million.

    Don’t worry Doog….i saw your mistake on your deleted post and was happy to report it

    Tbf I mixed my terms. Being on Mobile and BLS changed their reporting formats...for some reason.

    Like I said, I'll clean it up out there and be sure we are being honest and fair when presented with Facts and Evidence! TM

    Ok let’s add the 5.7 million back to the labor participation rate and unemployed numbers and assume NONE of them can get a job. I still don’t get 7%-10%

    Meanwhile REI is laying off 350 workers, forecasting a bad 2024.

    But hey, maybe their stock will rise in Q3 & Q4, so it's all good.

    Nevermind Main Street and the jobs on it.

    Refresh my memory…if the current unemployment rate isn’t 3.5 as reported by the BLS….whats the exact number?

    Following what been disclosed in this thread, probably 3.5 + 7.

    What’s that, 10.5%?

    No its just the 7%. But it's way higher when you include the illegals.
    That would be extremely hard to nail down in all honesty, I would guess that aside from "sanctuary cities" the illegal immigration participation numbers would be higher per capita but would be lots of grey and black market employees.

    Then again, most of them use fake broken ladder identities of the deceased to work so maybe they are counted. Who fucking knows.

    It would be a fun regression worthy of doing my PhD in.

    All that being said, Joe Biden's economy sucks ass. It's why even the Whitehouse gave up messaging on it. If it were doing well we wouldn't hear the end of it from the msm.
    Boy thats a lot of fantasy land hoops I need to jump through to believe. Its weird you guys can't pull actual data I can validate and verify with. Weird.
    I'm responding to Bob and just musing about the effect of illegals on employment numbers. Hth.

    None of it has to do with the 5.7 million long term unemployed in Biden's roaring economy.
    Where is that....where did you get that 5.7 million number? Out your ass? Its amazing how you cant take us through your thought process when challenged. There's a lot of that on this board!!!
    The irony never stops around here.

    There's some math, not 7% but it's over 6%.

    Yes it does. That's why Buck the Barebacker of @HHusky is slamming his ham right now.

    Wall Street vs. Main Street.
