It's all over the media!!! A loss of U.S. jobs!!!?

Question

It's all over the media---there was a loss of 4000 jobs in August-------the first decline in job growth in the U.S. in 4 years!!! What has Bush done to our country and what are we going to do about it?

Don't you people recognize sarcasm? OMG

Matt W----just trying to give you an idea of what you'll be seeing on the national news tonight----probably the LEAD STORY------not Bin Laden, not Iraq, definately not Hsu------but the loss of 4000 jobs in the U.S. economy.

Answer 1

Read the article. FIRST DECLINE IN 4 YEARS. And this was for only one month. But personal incomes are at an all time high. $17.00+. That is insanely high. Unemployment is at 4.6%. Lowest ever.

Yep, sounds like the liberal media running a smear campaign again.

Answer 2

You know, that's actually an amazing statistic. Since it is all Bush's fault we must assume that he personally fired each and every one of those people. That works out to about 133 per day. Let's let him work 10 hours a day, 7 days a week so he was personally firing people at a clip of more than one every five minutes. That is incredible productivity, just ask anyone is personnel/human resources. Just to give the necessary legal stuff surrounding a firing/layoff can take ten minutes.

I hope he didn't skimp on the disclosures...

Get a life. Try to understand an economy. It is probably the reductions in force being taken by the subprime lenders which you believe shouldn't be in business anyway. I know of one such company that is letting go thousands of mortgage brokers themselves who would otherwise be preying on those individuals that the Democrats think should be protected from their own actions.

Honestly, is it hard to live without ANY perspective?

Answer 3

Wow ..... that hardly puts a dent in the number of jobs created over the last four years. So it is true that the economy is better under President Bush. What we are going to do is thank him for keeping our economy strong.

I get it (your sarcasm ... lol) and you get a star. Didn't take long for you to get attacked.

Answer 4

The USA would need - 300,000 - news jobs every month - every single month to keep up with population growth.
Since Bush came into Power in 2000, that has not happened once, not one single month in the last 71/2 years.
By some estimates, we have currently a real unemployment rate of 12,3 % in the USA. The Governemnt smartly counts only the ones, which get unemployemnt benefits, thats around 4-5%.
A number of 4000 is nothing, not good, not bad, its totally insignificant.

Answer 5

So we have had an increase of jobs for 48 months and have one month of loss. How is that bad? If we have month after month of job loss that is a different story, but when you have 48 months of job increase, at someone point there will be a month or 2 of job loss.

Answer 6

4,000. Out of 200,000,000. In 4 years. OMG! Will the world end today!
You know these numbers also include those who are temperarely unemployed due to a job change, seasonal workers, and firings.

Answer 7

OMG its raining...what did Bush do to the weather...OMG theres a tornado that touched down in Texas...what did Bush do??? Drink some more kool aid...some things happen in the natural course of life you know.

Answer 8

I love how Liberals attack at the first report of bad news (it's a tiny blip on the radar screen, of course), but say nothing about the four years of growth.

Answer 9

If you had read the article you would have seen that it didn't grow as much as they expected. It's not a loss, its just not as much of a gain. Salary's rose too. But you had to go deep into the story to see that bit.

Answer 10

This is just the beginning of what is likely to be a recession by year's end. I just hope it doesn't last too long. But it seems inevitable, given the housing bubble has burst wide open.
