Title: Nearly 700,000 AMERICANS Lost Their Job in August
Post by: carlb on September 08, 2015, 01:07:04 AM
But don't worry, a good percentage have been replaced by "immigrants." Thanks Mark Zuckerberg of "welcome.com"

in August a whopping 698,000 native-born Americans lost their job. This drop was offset by 204,000 foreign-born Americans, who got a job in the month of August.

There were 130,000 new jobs created and the unemployment number dropped by .2 points.  Go figure the new math.

They don't count those able to work, but have given up trying to find work. Obama is even including part timers as "employed."

BLS.gov lies to protect the administration.

Does anyone seriously believe the numbers put out by the government on unemployment?  If so, I've got prime beachfront property for sale real cheap down here in Campobello, SC.   :toungsmile: :rolleyes: :tounge:

I think the real number is up in the 20's, not the 5's.  42% of those eligible to work aren't working.

If anyone believes those numbers, they need to consider that 96+ million Americans are our of work right now and ask themselves how BLS calculated their 5.1% employment rate.

We're in the worst depression in US history.

Try 50% unemployed. If there is 300 million Americans in the US, one third is underage, and 100 million are unemployed? Someone in the WH is a liar. :biggrin:

The U.S. Government simply cannot be believed anymore.  It has gone rogue.  ALL stats are manipulated for the purpose of fooling the citizenry.  I'm sick and tired of it.  There isn't a fiber of honesty anywhere in this administration.  And even previous administrations have skewed statistics to cover their own failures.

The mess is monumental and needs a person with ethical integrity and honesty to change a mountain of wrongs!!

Guess who gets to support them!

Interesting facts about illegals and the work force.

QuoteHow Many U.S. Jobs Are Taken by Illegal Aliens?
Just as the size of the illegal alien population can only be estimated, the number of illegal aliens working in the United States is also subject to estimation. A large share of the illegal alien population is generally accepted as being in the workforce because that is what motivates most illegal immigration. However, there are some family members, especially children of illegal aliens not in the labor force, while others may be in prison. One recent estimate by researchers at the Pew Hispanic Center puts the number of illegal aliens in the workforce at 8 million out of an overall population of 11.2 million illegal aliens, i.e., 71.4 percent.1 That estimate is generally accepted as reasonable.
FAIR's estimate of the illegal alien population in 2010 is slightly higher than that of the Pew estimate, i.e., 11.9 million. FAIR's estimate of the number of illegal aliens in the workforce — using the share estimate of the Pew study — is similarly slightly higher, i.e., about 8.5 million jobs encumbered by illegal alien workers.

Personally I think the the number quoted for illegals is too low, maybe closer to double that number.

Does anybody remember when Obama added a totally new element in counting those employed.

Remember the idiotic farce, when Obama was counting Jobs Saved?
