 The official report.

  The U3 rate of unemployment remained unchanged, at 8.2%.

A total of 80,000 new private sector jobs were added, however 25,000, roughly 30% were temporary.

In actuality, the economy only added 55,000 new jobs. No wonder the President is so determined to run

on anything and everything except his record.

  Reviewing the trends show a dramatic drop in job creation from the beginning of the year to now.

This is not an isolated trend, the GDP rate has also been contracting. In broad terms, it means that

the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act has, predictably, failed to provide the necessary economic

stimulus to sustain growth.

  A closer look shows that the U3 number has remained above 8% for the duration of President Obama's first term.

African American unemployment is now a staggering 14.4%.

Long term unemployment, those seeking jobs for more than 27weeks, is 41.9% of the total unemployed. These

people cannot find work because there are no jobs being created. Where are all the shovel ready jobs?

   Breaking down jobs by sector, the one bright spot, manufacturing, produced another 11,000 jobs.

Of course, that is nothing compared to the 41,000 it was averaging during the first quarter of 2012.

A drop of almost 75% from one quarter to the next.

  Three months in a row of job growth under 100,000. The President is out bragging about this. He should

be out apologizing to America for it instead.

Weak job growth in Q2 is a direct result of stronger numbers from Q1 driven by a warmer than expected winter. When you pair that with continuing problems in Europe, it's clear that making this a partisan issue is just weaksauce.

[Iowa_CubsFan]

Yeah it is totally our fault Europe is stupid.

Sigh

blah blah blah...get a job!

Yeah, he's been doing that for a while now. I have no idea what it means.

[DoseOfLaughter]

It means let not your heart be troubled


It seems to be a popular anti-Obama saying on Twitter, because people seem to be under the impression that Romney's going to get elected.

Why should he be apologizing? He isn't given the power to strong arm corporations into hiring people they don't want when they're making record profits with the people they already have.

Now if he'd funded several major public works and hadn't hired a single person for them yet, well yes then he should be apologizing.

yes, because he is part of the racist anti intellectual anti science anti semetic anti gay anti muslim cult that sean hannity has started.

basicly if you have any veiw that is not hard christian right and think the rich in this country have it unfairly good you are the bad guy and must be punished

it is kind of what glenn beck tried to do but so much more racist and anti intellectual

It stands for "Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled."

It's what Sean Hannity says at the end of his show every day.

I thought someone was tagging his posts with that to troll him.

But this is far, far more hilarious.

Black employment is worse than that, black males under 30 have a 50% unemployment rate. The govt numbers, prob. even the u6 are undercounted significantly. If the govt admitted how bad the problem was they'd actually have to do something about it besides more tax cuts for companies sending jobs & money to Asia & token tax credits that don't matter anyway.

We need more jobs, less military spending.

Well the GOP's strategy all along was to throw every wrench in every gear possible and then blame Obama for the machine running slow.  It's why no one waltzed into this thread taking it seriously.

My only interest was in the tagging thing.  I thought it was someone being ironic.  I keep mistaking conservative derangement with irony anymore.  It's so stupid at this point it can easily be mistaken for Carlinesque satire.

[DoseOfLaughter]

It's definitely him doing it to himself: http://boards.adultswim.com/t5/tag/LNYHBT/tg-p

This. But fat chance Obama can get a serious New Deal type thing thru this corporate bought Congress.

[Master-Debater131]

This is what, the 3rd horrible jobs report in a row?

All signs say that things are going to stay the same or get worse than this one to. Thats horrible.


The man has failed and his economic "policies" have destroyed any hope at a recovery. Obamacare crippled it even further.

We should be humming right along right now but instead we have no growth at all. People are rightly saying that we are starting to dip into another recession.

He needs to be replaced ASAP if we ever have hope of getting jobs. As long as he is in the White House the jobs just arent going to appear.

[DoseOfLaughter]

I didn't think it was possible for my migraine to get any worse. But, here you are. Making it worse.

[Crapshot3]

they are just friends on facebook or something who think they are witty. to bad the jokes on them, following a racist anti semetic anti intellectual doosh like sean hannity.

they think they are being cheeky but all that is happening is we are seeing them follow a truly horrible/racist person,

not that I am calling them any of these things, but they are following a guy who glorifies these things, so one has to wonder

[OOPSIE2DAY]

A George Will or Edmund Burke quote I could understand.  But Hannity, really?  And you expect people to subsequently take you seriously? 

It's never a good thing when people can't tell if you're joking anymore.

The economic recovery is moving at a slow clip -- better revert to the policies of the previous leadership which spawned such a bad situation to begin with.

These specific numbers are less than thrilling -- Democrats had their chance at creating jobs, back to the party that lost millions of them.

[cobrasks]

I know everyone here is out to blame the other side   but the current situation is the fault of BOTH parties .

It's not just the fault of 1 or 2 presidents over the last decade but the result of decades of bad decisions by

both parties in congress as well as the white house .

Let's take a real look at the last few decades .

Between EPA regulations ,taxes, and a lack of tort reform businesses have outsourced .

Keep blaming the rich all you want .  The politicians made it happen .

We could have helped the world with real workable solutions to protect the environment

while keeping our manufacturing but instead the EPA's no mercy policies made pollution

worse by sending it where there are NO regulations .

Illegal immigration was and is a serious problem .

Instead of doing something about it the Dems want more votes and the Republicans

want the Corporations to have cheap labor .  So they did little more then pony

shows to act like real action was being taken .

As a result working class wages have been stagnant for decades  while inflation rises .

Meanwhile the severity of the situation is made fun of by the clueless that simply say

"Dey took our jobs" with no ideaof  how badly the demand for labor has been damaged

in EVERY industry as a result .

More and more VISAs are bing approved by our government for trained foreign

professionals to do jobs for American companies within our borders at cut rates

that Americans that are paying for student loans could never make a living on .

Making it pointless to seek an education for those positions .

All this while taxes have been going up ( Through fees if not wage tax )  .

Now they want to tax the rich even more and an increasing amount of them are

taking their wealth and leaving the country .

Without enough wealthy to invest -there can be no recovery .

It's a perfect recipe for our economy to be driven into the ground and BOTH

parties are to blame .

Everyone just keeps squabbling over the little stuff and ideology  while

ignoring what must be done .

i live in the county with the lowest unemployment rate in my entire state. we're at 4% or something. i will let you guess as to the cause for such low unemployment figures, the public sector or the private.

[MrD1718]

Only in America would adding jobs be a bad thing.

Yay politics!

[Crapshot3]

sorry, but enviromental regulations is not petty squabbeling, especially when you have a condition where enviromental factors actively hurt you.

[AlternatePeanutcat]

Um, as long as we're not losing jobs, we're fine.
