THE U,S. CENSUS STATES, FOR 2012 LATEST FIGURES AVAILABLE, THAT THERE ARE 206 MILLION AMERICANS BETWEEN THE AGES OF 15 AND 64. AND, ACCORDING TO BLS, 156 MILLION PARTICIPANTS IN THE WORK FORCE.
GIVEN THOSE FIGURES, UNEMPLOYMENT IS NOT THE 93 MILLION THAT THE FRUITCAKE assERTS.
I didn't say they wereunemployed, dimiwt. I provided you a correct definition of what the Bureau of Labor Statistics uses to calculate the Workforce Participation Rate since you wrongly asserted that it included evryone from birth.
FOR THE UMPTEENTH TIME, I MUST REMIND THE FRUITCAKE THAT THE 93 MILLION UNEMPLOYMENT FIGURE REPRESENTS ALL AMERICANS FROM NEWBORN TO AGE 116. HOW MANY TIMES DO YOU HAVE TO BE TOLD THIS?
No, it doesn't.
BLS employment statistics are based on the civilian noninstitutional population, which consists of all people 16 or older who were not in the military or an institution such as a prison, mental hospital or nursing home.
In March, the civilian noninstitutional population was 250,080,000 according to BLS. Of that 250,080,000, 156,906,000 -- or 62.7 percent -- participated in the labor force, meaning they either had or job or had actively sought one in the last four weeks.
You do realize the military works for him and not the other way around. And many, many, many Presidents before President Obama did not salute. In fact, it didn't start until Reagan was President and even then some in the military took issue because they said "you are our boss you owe us nothing".
Yeah canes, Bush had sense enough to simply switch the dog to his other hand, and gave a proper salute.
On the other hand, (no pun intended), obama, who is constantly praised by liberals about his brilliance, didn't have sense enough to simple switch hands with a cup of coffee.
That should tell you all you need to know about "obama's brilliance" and the posters who are still so stupid they don't seem to know about videos.
Like so many things about obozo, the way things appear on the surface, are not what is really going on.
When a poster brags about obama creating job in record numbers, one has to ask.. ok... if obama created so many million jobs,,, how come 93 million American's are out of a job, and have left the workforce because they can't find a job.
Another thing, one needs to KNOW about obama's hocus pokus numbers is.. how many people are working two, or more jobs to make ends meet.
AS of Jan. 2015
When President Obama took office in January of 2009, the labor participation rate for this group was 82.8% and the unemployment rate was 7%. In January, the labor participation rate for this group was 81.1% and the unemployment rate was 4.8%. Sounds good but, were their labor participation rate 82.8% today, the unemployment rate for 25 to 54 year olds would be would be 6.8%. All but 0.2 of a percentage point of the improvement in the unemployment rate even for prime working age Americans is due to a decline in labor participation.
So how does all this match up with the fact that, in the last three months, the economy created over one million jobs – the best performance in nearly 20 years? Well, the survey that the BLS uses to determine the number of jobs the economy creates (the Establishment Survey) is very different from the survey it uses to determine the unemployment rate (the Household Survey). The Establishment Survey measures the number of jobs the economy created. The Household Survey measures the number of people employed. The numbers never match up. In part this is due to differences in survey methodology. In part, it's due to what they measure.
For example, in January the Household Survey found that there were 7.5 million people working multiple jobs. While such individuals work at least two jobs, the Household Survey counts them as one person with a job. In other words, when calculating the unemployment rate, the BLS counts 7.5 million people as employed who account for at least 15 million jobs.
Both surveys do consider part time and full time jobs equivalent. So, in calculating the both the number of jobs the economy has created and the unemployment rate, the BLS considers someone working 2 hours a week just as employed as someone working 40 hours a week. The employees certainly wouldn't consider these jobs equivalent, but they are equivalent for purposes of the official unemployment rate
