News, discussion, buzz about unemployment from 07.09.12 Part 25

Gonna stay at work a little later. Came in almost four hours late. I'm glad my boss loves me or I'd be unemployed. #thankful

@JaysonKandiah I'vnt even had the time yet was busy finishing my uni work, but since I'll be unemployed in 2 wks plenty to keep me busy lol

@It_is_AJ @k_odusi i can see your jobless.

Obama joking &

Any American whether it is for Political gain or not he or she shouldn't enjoy the rise of unemployment. Have a heart. Families are hurting.

I know what you're thinking

My older brother just found a job after two years of unemployment. So, party.

Let us also not forget even in the best of times there are still people who are unemployed, people looking for jobs.

Unemployment rate dropped to 8.1% because workers are actually dropping out of the shrinking labor force.#ObamaIsntWorking #ThreeMoreMonths

@pollbuster my point was Obama supporters should be careful touting the unemployment % when the rest of the report is awful. #canofworms

@ezraklein I would also look at employment/population. The unemployment/not in labor force distinction can be problematic for age<

Worth a follow: @hurt_mcdermott ->

news said the unemployment rate went from 8.3 to 8.1 ! hard to tell

I'm one jobless who..

@krkriti03 student welle e hote hain... Jo pdte hain wo tweet ni krte ... 140 characters dunt yu knw.. Unemployed student=welli

@thismanslife me too! Unemployed drinking ftw :) (you left adobe? Or just between projects?)

GOP has framed the public sector, including teachers, as reason for problem economy. Now we have smaller government in form of #unemployment

@uppoppedafox @tabulous @schmutzie Yeah, we bought most pieces before kids. R once bought paintings with unemployment insurance money.

@INSIDE_NG are you this jobless?

Well..unemployment was fun while it lasted. #lessthanaweek

@iamKarlSantos :))) I'm good, too! unemployed though! =p you?!! haha

Only because of the unemployment $$

In what bizzaro world does it make sense to drop the unemployment rate because people GIVE UP on finding employment? #governmentstats

If @BarackObama had to use the same labor participation he had when he entered office then the unemployment number would be 11.2%

Guna ring gist monday #TheseThingsAveGottaBeDone #Jobless

GOP Congress has refused to invest in infrastructure but will invest in war. #unemployment

What if...instead of extending unemployment indefinitely, we gave them a job ie:pick up litter, volunteer, be productive for their check?

#areyoubetteroff Unemployment down, housing &

@vj44 @econjared @KrystalBall1 @edshow @Toure @secupp Hello Media U expect Americans to reward @PaulRyanVP 4 keeping unemployment high? #p2

#IAlwaysThinkAbout y are u still jobless

Jobs report only 96,000 new jobs ...true unemployment rises ... Does listen to the lies. You need to have a plan to protect your family

U.S. adds 96,000 jobs in August

@faryyC this should be if obama wins the unemployment rate should decrease..

Mark Richt is writing his own unemployment papers.

@daddies_princes: People who want to keep Obama in office only so they can keep their food stamps and unemployment checks. Get a MF'n job!

The only time Romney gives a rip about regular people struggling is when he's touting unemployment #.

Everyone needs a purpose in their life. The unemployed are so beaten down, they're just looking for a hand (not a handout)

Officially back to being an unemployed student!

@megynkelly I saw unemployment rates dropped because people stopped looking for work?

@ravix_ @varun_khosa yeah and fail in life and end up unemployed, no thank you! :)

Mum is rili jobless!....I can c dat....*smh*

Amazing! 96,000 jobs created, but so many gave up looking for work that unemployment dropped .2 to 8.1%. Are Americans dense enough to vote…

People who complain about being unemployed but don't actually try to get a job are annoying AF. Your dream just isn't gonna fly at you.

@live_thatdream yes my birthday haha I jobless la, all fired me I hate them

You have to figure the economy is pretty bad when legit economists think the report of 8.1% unemployment sounds too good to be true.

@richardroeper Can't believe those ass clowns aren't apart of the country's staggering unemployment rate.

@Lawrence I wonder what the unemployment rate would be with a different house of representatives ?

looks like im gonna be jobless soon then

@DarkeneFabiana @fadifawaz yes I'm unemployed...

#Obama knew new unemployment report before his speech but still LIED as usual #LatinosForRomney #RomneyRyan2012 #tcot

@Salon out of the entire speech all you got was he didn't mention the word unemployment? Why would he talk about another pres. record?

@ochocinco Can you draw unemployment

It sucks being unemployed.

@jamaland1 haha please dont i'll be jobless!

@Jacko_Leen I can't stop drinking coz othas will be unemployed if I do.

@MagicMike616 me too! The new job is way less I would make more On Unemployment

#SpringTexasMortgage Rates Sharply Lower today Payrolls rose less than projected in August &

@Mets86girl Under @BarackObama women have fared terribly. Unemployment and low pay are par under Obama. @vicar7 @michellemalkin

Hope someone calls me about a job soon I don't like fileing for unemployment...

@kesgardner I don't understand how families are surviving 39.2 weeks of unemployment. That's unbelievable. They are gutting our assets.

@emteasdale1 when are you next in Londres? When I'm unemployed again Ill be able to visit :)

Can someone explain why people who have given up and stopped looking for a job are not included in unemployment figures?

@JeffreyTaylor11 but them I'd be jobless!

16Trillion in debt 23 million unemployed or underemployed gasoline prices spikes up and food prices have gone up.

US added 96K jobs in Aug, well below expectations. Unemployment rate fell to 8.1% from 8.3%, b/c 368,K Americans dropped out of labor force.

in case you are wondering why people move to Alberta unemployment is 4.4%

finally jobless!

@TheRealGSid African American unemployment highest it's been in 3 decades. More people on food stamps then ever before. Obama nt help poor

@mcuban I have an idea that I think would make many millions of $. Insta-Rocker. I am unemployed and no funds to make it. But I can image it

Just taken me over an hour to complete a job application. I'd rather be unemployed.

@King_Troopa: Chief Keef makes music for unemployed niggas that drive their girl's car around all day while she's at work lol

@Jtatle1996 Also, it's not ok that black Americans have a 5% higher rate of unemployment... @blackrepublican

I dont think @ezraklein knows how to read a jobs report. The jobs number has nothing to do with unemployment rate. They are separate surveys

Unemployed and winning @AshOnToast

Can't wait for this unemployment to start rollin in $$$

you think obama cares about the working class or the unemployed?

Most guys are broke &

One would think the fall in unemployment is a good thing. But when you read further it is because people stopped looking for work. #InMyMind

.@mattyglesias Catastrophe? Spain has, what, 25% unemployment? We're gaining jobs as fast as other recent recoveries, from a lower trough.

If the size of the U.S. labor force/share of the total pop was the same as '08, 65.7% then vs 63.6% today, unemployment rate would be 11.1%

Unemployment Down 2Tenths of % Like GOP McConnell Said Will Make Him 1Term President So GOP Governors Killed 600,000Private Sector Jobs...

its funny how people bash bush but dont also bash obama. the unemployment rate has risen since hes been in office

Explain 2 me how you have a larger population than last mth yet fewer people working however unemployment rate goes down. DC math #noagenda

@newsnation Nope. Even if I was one of the unemployed it wouldn't change my vote. The best chance for the underprivileged is Obama.

Election is abt pple. Unemployed, underemployed, foreclosed middle class. NO1 WANTS TO BE IN BOOT CAMP WITH OBAMA ANY MORE.VOTE ROMNEY/RYAN

Niccar am gainfully employed blessed by JAH..guess u r Jobless@IdowuNwandei: u know belong for social media go do agbero work for bus stop

Unemployment is at 8% but it's really more like 40% if u include people who aren't looking for work, young children, and cartoon characters.

@MattSabs5 @anthony_musc_52 yeah matt cuz every single person thats unemployed is lazy

August Jobs: Non-Farm Payrolls: up 96k Unemployment: 8.1% Avg. Hourly Earnings: unch. -- Squawk Box (@SquawkCNBC). Big disappointment.

8.1 unemployment isn,t a recovery but its what the recovery looks like under Obama

I haven't been unemployed in a long time.

So many people are unemployed today you don't even have to put 'NSFW' to post pornography. #economy #gop #dnc

@_mcar7 really I'll have to check that out. Bc this unemployment thing ugh. I just don't know if I wanna serve anymore Ijust need sumtin nw

Until the president admits that we are in a DEPRESSION &

Hey if all the unemployed would just stop trying to find a job we would have zero unemployment and everything would be great!

#unemployment ur rich job creator USA co-citizens don't want to Fcking hire u &

But somehow I dropped a class &

That's what passes for excitement to an unemployed midwesterner.

@BarackObama there are currently 23 million unemployed and 17 million Americans suffer from hunger or malnutrition

dad is always tryna give me a speech about not dating or marrying lazy & unemployed niggas lol. I KNOW THIS!
