    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.

    The stock market tends to like layoffs

    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.

    I'm actually impressed the numbers are that good ~1.5m is still significant but not terrible. I can only imagine how many private sector jobs were traded for government ones though. Be curious to break that out.

    I’m sure it’s significant. What’s likely also significant is the growth quasi private sector jobs, NGO’s, etc that rely on government money 100% for their existence. Some of that gets buried in the private sector.

    5.7 million long term unemployed(which aren't counted in your 3.5% number).

    As opposed to 2019 there being 1.2 million...

    https://www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/2020/article/job-market-remains-tight-in-2019-as-the-unemployment-rate-falls-to-its-lowest-level-since-1969.htm

    Do I need to explain this to you further?
    Shh those long term unemployed that get removed from the stats don't exist. Cut off their guberment cheese and see how quick they look for work! HuskyDuck says they don't exist. Obama created them.

    Before the gross number is ultimately revised down by ~20% or so, We’re averaging 50k new government jobs per month.

    That’s nearly 1/3 of the overall figure. Then you account for part time work and subtract union workers returning from strikes it gets even worse.




    The takers are outpacing the makers, and 20-something idiots like HuskyBuck are running victory laps.

    1.5m more people out of work that want a job is a loss for you. Hope that helps.

    Bless your heart.

    They actually hurt you, but you’re too unsophisticated to realize it.

    Who needs family wage jobs and export revenue and personal income taxes and corporate income taxes? Sending US natural gas to the chicoms to replace coal fired electric plants would cut CO2 emissions. But actually solving a supposed problem this will make the supposed problem worse and cost US jobs. Nothing says SCIENCE and carrying for the average joe than the green gaia fraudsters.
