News, discussion, buzz about unemployment from 07.09.12 Part 30

If the labor participation rate was the same in 2008 as it is now, unemployment would be 11.8%. For every net job gained, 4 ppl dropped out

Local individuals required by employers to get paper qualifications. Paid by student loans. Now, often jobless, pursued by collectors.

next government will make that unemployment number read 7.9 percent

@AyeAlysiax3 good, cause my unemployed ass has time now

@RyanCRichards If the same number of people were looking for work today as when Obama took office, unemployment would be 11.3%.

@realDonaldTrump that's absolutely staggering considering there is 60m people in the UK. More people are unemployed in USA than live in UK.

@Forbes I guess unemployed people only had reruns of soaps to watch instead?

@AFPnq GODDAMNIT! Can somebody fire our intern? Or give them to Clinton? Here's Obama's unemployment #'s #failingagenda t.co/Ny0QGbbv

so glad somebody has time to make cool Obama memes when unemployment is stuck at 8% and we cant even agree on healthcare. #theshitidontlike

Obama: WE owe our brave troops medical care &

I need unemployed homies in la for moments like this.... I'll buy lunch for whoever get over to UNDFTD &

America deserves better. @tjholmes: Unemployment rate for African Americans unchanged. (14.1%) #JobsReport

seb coe will no doubt be lauded for going at least 5 times the budget. i would be fired and surrounded by unemployed colleagues.

@JoeDaplumber1 Im talking bout national unemployment. Its tragic &

I need that money from my friends ... I'm unemployed &

I urge you to pray for our country. We have 23 million+ unemployed.the only job growth is in low wage jobs. Pray for leadership &

@PaulRyanVP: 43 straight months of unemployment above 8%. This is not what a recovery looks like. #America #USA

You know hargroves big ass is like wow I could play this week this is awesome... Oh wait #unemployed.

Did you know? Unemployment rate dropped to 8.1% from 8.3% b/c of discouraged workers leaving the labor force! #failingagenda

Sununu: When 368,000 unemployed people stop looking for work in one month it means they see hopelessness not hope.

@mplslove87 hmm maybe impact of social media on political narratives/cycles or unemployment trends by state red v. blue...

Bad jobs reports 8.1% unemployment, $16T in debt, 23M looking for work, R all racist reports. they must b they reflect badly on the #Obama

Unemployment rate drop today is SMOKE &

SERIOUSLY need to earn some money :( #jobless

@jlwatson62 Please explain that one. Saving millions from plundering which would have increased unemployment and poverty? Unconstitutional?

#Unemployment 2009 7.8% n after over a trillion dollars spent unemployment now 8.3% NOT #BetterOff

Wonders: if you are retired/unemployed/don't work or school is the weekend really such a big deal? Isn't everyday a weekend? #bigquestions

43 straight months of unemployment above 8%. This president has failed the American people miserably. #RomneyRyan2012

@tjcarmodyiv I was thinking the same thing! Debt, unemployment, poverty, all worse then 4 yrs ago OF COURSE he needs me more time. #noboma

Real unemployment is 11.2% @BarackObama is manipulating the numbers for labor participation to work in his favor.

@Tullio20 we both know those jobs numbers can be manipulated. Unemployment hasn’t dipped below 8% in 30+ months. And going from 8.3% to 8.1%

AEI’s James Pethokoukis points out that if the Labor Force Had not dropped by 380,000 in August... Unemployment Rate Would Be 8.4%

@BonnieBernstein unemploy rate fell bc more people stopped looking for jobs or govt stopped counting them bc they've unemployed too long

Unemployment reported: 8.1% Had labor-force not changed: 8.4% Had labor-force been the same as when Bush left office: 11%

“@KennethHarbin: The African American unemployment rate remains at 14.1% #ObamaIsntWorking” take away welfare. Problem solved

I Mean If Its Gonna B Like That Then Kiss Ur Fuckin #SocialSecurity Check GoodBye Cuz I'll File 4 Unemployment &

New biz terminology: Failure = Pivot

If the participation rate had just stayed the same as last month, the unemployment rate would be 8.4%.

8.1% unemp rate is misleading! Doesn't count those w gave up looking. More like 10%-12% REAL UNEMPLOYED!!

President Obama has presided over more months with unemployment above 8 percent (43) than the last 11 presidents combined. #4jobs

@BFriedmanDC How many more must go unemployed before Shinseki will do a guest appearance on SNL or a meaningless segment on MTP?

aww hell my tax dollars go to giving out free cell phones to unemployed? I gotta research this one!

Last shift at The Waggon! Officially unemployed&

#Democrats fear returning to dark days of #GeorgeWBush when the average monthly #unemployment rate was 5.3%. Under #Obama it is 9.1% #USA

@seanhannity Its so sad they have to not count the people not working to get to their magic 8.0 or 7.9 unemployment. He must go, and now!!

Unemployment fell to 8.1% but only b/c of a huge drop in the labor force, electrified razor fence across Arizona border. #failingagenda

@Steven_Kung: an unemployed Ivy League graduate...

I got off unemployment, by starting my own business @Republican

))

I wish my friends were all unemployed so I would have someone to get lunch with.

unemployment rate down to 8.1%

I'm not unemployed. I'm an artist.

@oreillyfactor @TeamCavuto -If requirement for work is removed from welfare, couldn't that effect the unemployment rate, causing it to drop?

How does President Obama's speech look in the cold light of day? 8.1% unemployment, 368,000 dropped out. #ObamaIsntWorking #RomneyRyan2012

“@TCOTvideos: Obama... corruptly RIGGED! If everyone stops looking for work, the unemployment number will be ZERO. #TCOT”

I wonder how many recently college graduated, Black males who are currently unemployed would vote (R) because of the lackluster economy?

After WH pressure, is it just a coincidence that Gallup poll has Obama at 52% approval? Say unemployment is lower than BLS numbers?

Things that will move #Forward2012 with #4moreyears? gas prices, unemployment, debt, &

#sharkweek 12' shark from our trip today our of Plymouth Mass with Big Mac! #unemployed t.co/hR8r4ow1

As of this evening, I am unemployed until Monday.

After I got laid-off, I wanted to thank the CEO for four good years. But he was too busy hiding in the bathroom grunting. #unemployed

#OnObamasWatch 8.1% unemployment, 45 million on food stamps, food prices up 35%, gas prices up 112%, thousands out of work force #bashirlive

What worse than unemployed people on twitter? Subscribers of #Ten Golf

Per Dept. of Labor, #unemploymentrate is down to 8.1%, prob cuz long term unemployed have quit searching.

@wolfblitzer PBO brought down unemployment from 10% to 8.1% &

The unemployment rate fell to 8.1%, an improvement, but the labor force participation rate went to 63.5%, lowest since 1981.

Unemployment rates: Teens - 24.6%, Blacks- 14.1%, Hispanics - 10.2. Unemployed 2+ yrs: 5M. How is Obama working out for minorities, exactly?

There are never enough people at the unemployment office to answer the phone. If only they could find a pool of people who need work.

More fun with numbers: when you included everyone who has stopped looking for work, the unemployment rate is actually 11.2% ~winning!~

Mark this down. govt will say unemployment rate is 7.9% for Oct. the Friday before the election and celebrate about it to get Bam a bounce

Uh, @AaronPena @SusanCombs @mqsullivan? US jobless figures down last two months, Texas numbers up. Who should follow whose example?

Don't Blame the president cause you are unemployed. No one told you to curse your boss out or always be late!

That congressman is stupid. There's a big difference between people retiring and people and the unemployed giving up.

I feel like I've retired to the country. Only I'm unemployed and living in my parents' house. #FML @FirstWorldPains

#democrats consistently fail to include individuals who have quit looking for work (a large portion) when figuring #unemployment numbers

Just because ur unemployment came in the mail today does NOT make u rich!!!! Slow ur roll.

Job Seekers - Stuck in Unemployment? Why Not Play Games and Make Money Online?

@AnitaSharma could be worse. We could be Greece, at 24 pc unemployed.

Decided to like my dad's Facebook status that said about him being unemployed in a 4 weeks cause I can, he's a dick and it doesn't effect me

Jobless not Hopeless, Ya Rab Hawan :(

@Amii_Heartbeat you should take this unemployed graduate out for a drink and rub my nose in the fact you get student money :)
