How the media are covering the u/e numbers

[lawgator1]

Haven't seen tv. You already know my rant about that tool, Santelli, on radio coverage from cnbc.

Here is what is reflected on the websites' main pages right now --


CNN:

"Job market scores touchdown."




ABC:

"January Unemployment Falls to 8.3 percent"



MSNBC:

"Employment report points to more jobs to come
Jobless rate falls to 8.3 %, lowest in almost 3 years"



Fox News:

"Unemployment rate drips to 8.3 percent in January
OPINION: The bad news behind jobless numbers
Obama's veteran jobs plans reminds some of 1930"






Hmmmm ......

So you prefer the - don't look behind the numbers - approach?

 

[GAVol]

You can't just look the other way when the numbers reflect over a million people leaving the job market in a month.

You hate Obama and are actively cheering for the economy to tank - highly disturbing and probably racist

Racism and white guilt every where

Hmmmm ......

ABC, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, CNN = Sunshine Pumpers trying to get their preferred candidate through his next election.

Wow, LG pointing out how slanted the major networks are towards Obama. Wonders never cease.

Hmmmm ......

This is like being excited about scoring in a game where you are down 49-0.

Unemployment rate falls.....yet there are more people unemployed this month than there was last month.

 

[milohimself]

Does anybody here believe the unemployment rate actually signifies anything?

Does anybody here believe the unemployment rate actually signifies anything?

When it comes to the difference between 7.8 and 8.8, no. When it comes to the difference between 3 and 8, yes.

Really funny thread.

As if we needed two threads on this.

Where to start?

Well, there there are now 2% less of the American people gainfully employed that when Obama took office, that is the lowest number since Jimmy Carter's policies were in place and Obama seems to be using the Carter plan to deconstruct America which will make him a one termer just like Jimmy.

Many are underemployed and others aren't even looking for another job but still we have those on the unemployed roles and those who have been unemployed for over 6 mos has grown from 23% to 43% since Obama took office.

The average length of time now for those drawing unemployment benefits is 21+ months.

Obama is a great fundraiser and probably a rather good community organizer but when it comes to business he isn't capable of running a decent hot dog stand.

BTW, the nearly quarter million hires last month were less than the total of young people who became old enough to enter the workforce.

I guess the good news is that less people looking for work means fewer people competing for the fewer jobs that are available. Silver lining.
