waitforufo Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Looks like Obama is having a bad day. Just thought I would try to cheer him and his supporters up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iNow Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 See, and here I though unemployment was DOWN to 8.2%. Don't you just love newspeak of the type waitforufo and other right wing ideologues so consistently employ? http://www.csmonitor.com/Business/Paper-Economy/2012/0524/Unemployment-claims-drop 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swansont Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 While claims are down, the rate was 8.1% in April. http://data.bls.gov/pdq/SurveyOutputServlet?request_action=wh&graph_name=LN_cpsbref3 Apparently more than 69k (# of new jobs created) people started looking for work in May. Or it could be the 21k government jobs that were eliminated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you just love newspeak of the type waitforufo and other right wing ideologues so consistently employ? http://www.csmonitor.com/Business/Paper-Economy/2012/0524/Unemployment-claims-drop A move from 8.1 to 8.2, last I checked, is up. Even the Washington Post agrees. http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/unemployment-up-in-may-as-job-growth-falls-off/2012/06/01/gJQAhXDj6U_story.html?hpid=z1 Businesses dramatically scaled back hiring in May, pushing the nation’s unemployment rate up to 8.2 percent and stoking fears that the economic recovery has stalled once again. Besides, I was blaming it on Bush. Isn't that the constant narrative from "the one"? You, iNow, of all people must agree. By the way it's called a sense of humor. Lighten up. While visiting the WP you might check out Krauthammer latest. It's a beaut. http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/barack-obama-drone-warrior/2012/05/31/gJQAr6zQ5U_story.html?hpid=z2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
