One More Dreary Jobs Report

[wbcoleman]

O is on the campaign trail in Poland, Ohio, babbling on about the employment figures.  It's never hard to tell when TOTUS is off.

It's also not hard to tell that the hole we're still in was dug by Dubya's Republicans, going from Clinton surplus to an abyss. Yeah--we know.

...going from Clinton surplus...

Don't you mean "going from the Gingrich/Clinton reduction in borrowing"? There was never a year when the debt didn't increase.

I meant what I said because that's what Dubya claimed it was when he used it as an excuse to cut the nation's throat by giving the rich his infamous tax cuts. Dubya--you know, that guy the Tea Party wants to distance itself from but whom Republicans thought was a good idea for a second term.

From Investors.com:

More workers joined the federal government's disability program in June than got new jobs, according to two new government reports, a clear indicator of how bleak the nation's jobs picture is after three full years of economic recovery.

Obama: Jobs report 'step in the right direction'
By David Jackson, USA TODAY

http://content.usatoday.com/communities/theoval/index#.T_cEYWt5mSM

POLAND, Ohio -- President Obama brushed past a gloomy jobs report today, saying that the economy has created 4.4 million new jobs in the past 28 months.

"That's a step in the right direction," Obama told some 350 supporters packed into an elementary school gym. "But we can't be satisfied."

Obama spoke just a few hours after the Labor Department reported only 80,000 jobs in June, not enough to keep the economy growing -- a point quickly made by Republican candidate Mitt Romney and other GOP lawmakers.

Noting that the unemployment rate remains at 8.2%, Romney blamed Obama economic policies and said: "It doesn't have to be this way. America can do better and this kick in the gut has got to end."

Disability Ranks Outpace New Jobs In Obama Recovery

http://news.investors.com/article/617233/201207061636/disability-climbs-faster-than-jobs-under-obama.htm

More workers joined the federal government's disability program in June than got new jobs, according to two new government reports, a clear indicator of how bleak the nation's jobs picture is after three full years of economic recovery.

The economy created just 80,000 jobs in June, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday. But that same month, 85,000 workers left the workforce entirely to enroll in the Social Security Disability Insurance program, according to the Social Security Administration.

The disability ranks have outpaced job growth throughout President Obama's recovery. While the economy has created 2.6 million jobs since June 2009, fully 3.1 million workers signed up for disability benefits.

In other words, the number of new disability enrollees has climbed 19% faster than the number of jobs created during the sluggish recovery. (Even after accounting for people who left the disability program because they died or aged into retirement, disability ranks have climbed more than 1.1 million in the past three years.)

And the disability ranks will continue to swell. In just the last month, almost 275,000 put in applications for disability benefits. Experts say that more people try to get on disability when jobs are scarce, and changes to eligibility rules enacted back in 1984 have made it far easier to qualify.

In addition, while hiring has been very weak during the recovery, the number of people who have dropped out of the labor force entirely has exploded by 7.3 million since June 2009, an IBD analysis of BLS data show. Some aged into retirement, but most either signed up for disability, stayed in school, moved back in with parents, or just quit looking for a job.

More jobs were added during Obamas 3.5 years, than in Bush's 8 years as president. that overall means that businesses during Obama have created 4.4 million new jobs over the past 28 months, including 500,000 new manufacturing jobs."

Bush On Jobs: The Worst Track Record On RecordDon't forget this was after all the Bush tax cuts that was suppose to create jobs. Trickledown economics just doesn't work. I don't know how many more times it has to fail before we the people wake up and kick the Republicans to the curb. Kentay

Then so is Obama, for the same reasons. What Dubya couldn't do as President are the same things Obama can't do as President.  :cheers:
