Jobless Claims Fall To Near 5-Year Low

Unemployment Rate - U6 - Here is the real rate


The U6 unemployment rate counts not only people without work seeking full-time employment (the more familiar U-3 rate), but also counts "marginally attached workers and those working part-time for economic reasons." Note that some of these part-time workers counted as employed by U-3 could be working as little as an hour a week. And the "marginally attached workers" include those who have gotten discouraged and stopped looking, but still want to work. The age considered for this calculation is 16 years and over

Sorry to burst your bubble but these new jobs are mostly part time jobs as businesses are cutting hours due to Obama Care

With Respect: What type of jobs are these and how much do they pay? Both parties not only allowed but encouraged American jobs to leave this country - (NAFTA), don't know where they thought their tax base would come from!
They are hell bent on destroying this country. They not only allow but help Illegal Aliens with their Anchor Babies to thumb their nose at the American People and Our Laws but help them and all for their VOTE. Those who do the right thing and do all they can, to follow our laws and try to enter this country Legally, are punished! Now that we know Illegal Aliens do not have to follow our laws & it is better than okay with our politicans, it must be time for American Citizens to pick which laws they wish to respect and which they do not, after all our Politicans are all for Fairness and what could be fairer than that! American Citizens Should Have The Same Or Dare I Say Better Rights Than - ILLEGAL - ALIENS - ! Just A Thought!!!

Problem is "the poor" is finding out it is so much easier to be "poor" and accept social programs
than it is to go out and give a honest days work. All this administration has done .. and as supported by many of the statistics detailed here ... is create a nation of dependents who in turn vote for the Pied Piper
If you are one who is dependent on govt and unwilling to be accountable .... yes you will normally be a democrat and continue to support anyone who makes your life easier ..... Only problem is ... YOU are suppsed to make you life easier .....

Liberalism ...

The oil and gas industry has long been a Republican Party supporter, consistently sending GOP candidates more than 70 percent of the industry\'s campaign contributions. But that support has increased further in the 2012 cycle: Now 90 percent of the industry\'s contributions are going to Republican candidates, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.....

Four Years Later
An Unhappy Second Inauguration for Many Americans Many Americans are hoping that the next four years aren’t filled with the same failed economic policies and broken promises as the last four years. As the table below shows, from unemployment to housing to debt, the country is worse off than when the President first took office.

We said it was nuts to have three unions overlapping in the same industries. ... for 50, 60 years. Workers United's assets are not SEIU's assets…..As for SEIU, every four years, two things happen: our union’s convention and our country’s presidential election. For four years we save our money and then on the fourth year we spend it all. ... We spent a fortune to elect Barack Obama ” $60.7 million to be exact ...http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2009/may/10/stern-unplugged-seiu-chief-labor-movement-and-card/ Unions are the largest contributors to the Obama regime. In other words, they get to use taxpayer money to elect their bosses and they get to use taxpayer money to convince their bosses to give them more taxpayer money. They get a say in WHO SITS ACROSS THE NEGOTIATING TABLE FROM THEM. This is nothing short of extortion! THe failings of private corporate governance pale in comparison to that inherent conflict of interest.

Show me where in the Constitution that we as taxpayers are suppost to bailout those for their recklessness, greed, and corruption?********* Why are you asking me, why don't you write the sock monkey in the White House and ask him !

dumbgop
Yeah,.....thats sound like a republican plan. Give more tax cuts to those who really don't need it and cut programs for the poor.************ Show me where the Constitution says ANYTHING about it's the government's responsibility to provide for you or to take care of you. And show me where it says that it's my responsibility to pay for you or your right to TAKE from me !

They are only "low" because they don't count the people who can't get benefits anymore or are working part-time and can't find full-time work.
