News, discussion, buzz about unemployment from 07.09.12 Part 37

Our real unemployment rate is 11%. Eric Bolling -- At least. #tcot #teaparty

I personally know about 5 unemployed ppl who got jobs in the past 30 days. I don't think any have reported themselves back to work though

…instead of us talking all the time about Graduate Unemployment, I think we should be combating ‘Graduate Illiteracy‘ ..#EKOWMENSAH

@thesavvy @greggutfeld When unemployment runs out their put on SSI and apply for perminate Disability SSD. That takes about a year.

Unemployed graduates? These whiners need the entrepreneurial spirit to get themselves parents who can bankroll them.

@kimguilfoyle PLZ tell reality many like me had to [semi] retire at 62 because we were self employed thus NO UNEMPLOYMENT!

Labor force participation rate drops to record low, Unemployment still over 8 percent, .2 percent drop in labor force lowers unemployment…

When candidate Obama in 2004 projected unemployment NOBODY knew how bad Dubya actually fucked the economy up until he got in office!!

People in Flint are not putting their faith in anybody - we're not waiting for a magic bullet Michael Kelly on US #unemployment

Obama feeling the pressure due to the recent hike in unemployment rate. It's 2012 guys, stop tryin' to keep the black man down.

Doesn't anyone find it odd that unemployment is still high, economy is bad yet the stock market is at record highs, someone's doing ok

I've been just as miserable during this week off as I was when I was initially unemployed for the summer after shit marks for school.

Don't understand when sum say we r not better off than 4 years ago: stocks r up, unemployment is down and bush is not prez #Obama2012

BO: Romney wants to take us backwards....yeah, to lower taxes, lower unemployment, lower gasoline prices...you bet!! #tcot @BarackObama

@BarackObama are the unemployment numbers lower b/c more people have jobs, or is it b/c they have stopped looking and are no longer counted?

Sorry Obama, you really can't count people giving up looking for work as part of decreasing unemployment numbers.

@MarcLeeCCPA Diane Bellemare (with the late Lise Poulin-Simon): Cost of Unemployment. Estimated value using Okun's law.

what you heard is the unemployment rate 8.1% @BrAnDiEsCaKes which doesn't include + people who stopped looking 11%

The reality behind US employment is the lower number of people in work, not just the headline unemployment numbers. #BBCNews

Funding awarded from Community Jobs Scotland will create two youth assistant posts in the New Year for unemployed young people.

#InMyMind 9.8% unemployment isn't depressing at all!

@paiget32 as we fall 6 more trillion dollars into debt. Unemployment rises. But lets solve gay marriage and abortion first.

It pisses me off royally to deal w/ppl who have no business in the workforce w/so many talents unemployed. #makesnosense

@Str8Authentic: @Beautiful_Juju cause 80% of them unemployedI'm waabbb

I just realized that I have been unemployed for about 11 months! Time flies when you are having fun **

@EdBallsMP used US unemployment as proof that we should copy Obama debt fuelled stimuls. Now UK unemployment rate is lower than US. #BBCNews

Our president is now surpassing 43 straight months of unemployment above 8%. This is not what a recovery looks like. #RomneyRyan2012 ****

@OliverMilne @Thalia_Addie But from 08 to present it has averaged over 8-10% with 25m unemployed or underemployed. 50m on food stamps.

@MyzzSashaFierce no man! I'm no Boss . I'm unemployed

@newtgingrich If Congress Republicans had not opposed BO's Jobs Bill there would be less unemployed. Blame your party, not the victims.

Forget getting a job. I'll just go get on unemployment #Bum

The U.S. economy added 96,000 jobs in July &

Striking teachers? Not a problem. SACK them, plenty of young unemployed teachers....

Who is unemployed? Me! 50+age group not ready to retire

@Forbes Obama plan - get enough folks to quit looking for work in order to get unemployment rate to zero. #tcot

Bad new is that 368,000 dropped out of labor force... @PeterTwombly Good news for a Friday - Unemployment Falls to 8.1 Percent

Since only entrepreneurs can create real jobs, new financial education would help solve the growing problem of unemployment. ~Kiyosaki

5:32 newscast: Employers in Tennessee will soon see a drop in their unemployment insurance rates.

@kenTEEHEE If u can put yourself into other person's shoes, it's simply the feelings u get when u owe a big sum of debts and you're jobless.

@MittRomney @PaulRyanVP I wish you would start using the TRUE unemployment rate the U6. 14.7%

The unemployment rate fell to 8.1 % according to the jobs report today. Less than 100,000 jobs were created in the past month though.

@novysan We're in the process of interviewing many of the best artists at DD. No reason for them to be unemployed. There's plenty of work.

Odd hearing Mitt I like firing people Romney talk about the national tragedy of unemployment.

@bayoulady60 only benefit to being unemployed is im not paniced about work....nice change lol

@DVATW: Striking teachers? Not a problem. SACK them, plenty of young unemployed teachers.... Quite

@ezraklein INSTEAD OF BLAMING OBAMA FOR UNEMPLOYMENT, LET'S THROW OUT THE REPUBLICAN CONGRESS THAT BLOCKS ALL JOB CREATION.

Promises vs Performance 8.1% Unemployment 14.7% U6 Unemployment Smallest Workforce &

@bigkennytv unemployed 6 mos., 1 year as a temp at US Bank, today I was offered a perm full time good paying job w/bennies #persistence

8.1% unemployed. That makes the road a little harder. Romney has no experience. He has a lot more leadership than current pres.

Black unemployment rate is 14.1% and since only about 25% of the black race works instead of selling drugs this is bad

I hate being jobless

Granholm in office: Michigan's economy falls, unemployment rises. Obama in office: same story. Common theme here. #VoteRomney

@amaeryllis #unemployed #single #readytomakebabies

@BarackObama Mr. Romney your plan increases the unemployment rate among Americans by increasing the cap on H1-B Visas. @BarackObama

@MissKissMeNSee because if it did our unemployment rate would of been under 8%!

Companies r giving Millions of $$$$ to Romney's Campaign. Companies r responsible 4 HIRING- FIRING- LAYOFFS, re: Unemployment being Sky High

@DVATW Striking teachers? Not a problem. SACK them, plenty of young unemployed teachers.... <

@DanaPerino How come Obama NEVER mentioned the unemployed last night to hell with afghanistan

The #DNC speeches were good, but the words are incongruent with reality...Soaring Natl Debt, record Unemployment. Only #Sheeple dont c it.

@RBPundit @jesseclee44 just heard audio today of BO in his own words, promising 5.4% unemployment

@greggutfeld How come Obama NEVER mentioned the unemployed last night to hell with afghanistan

most of my niggas still got that work even though they're unemployed

People act like the unemployment rate is supposed to just jump from 8.3% to 0!

@shawtyDx LOL very persuasive aren't you! I'm currently jobless though. You're stealing from me! :(

@ericbolling How come Obama NEVER mentioned the unemployed last night to hell with afghanistan

@thedailybeast Aw, shucks, Barry. That's so touching. But I'm jobless because of you, says my buddy Jim.

See how Libs lie about the unemployment #s? Job participation hasn't been this low since 1948, yet it came down to 8.1%. Barry's fullashit.

Generally think I'd be happier if I was unemployed

Mr. Romney your plan increases the unemployment rate among Americans by increasing the cap on H1-B Visas. @BarackObama

First Saturday tomorrow that I won't have to get up and go to work! It's mad! It's weird now im jobless lol. Glad to be out there though.

Byh if you party every weekend like you worked all week.....unemployed ass

400,000 Americans stopped looking for work in the month of August. As a result, the unemployment rate dropped from 8.3 to 8. 1 percent.

The Quibbling over the unemployment percentage is beyond foolish with it well below 2digit%s Still ToMany #Lacking Gainful Employment #NwFwd

@wvhones They are saying the unemployment rate dropped because of the number of people who quit looking for a job.

US unemployment is at 11.6% not 8.1%, accounting for those not seeking work. College students to struggle with debt the rest of their lives.

@FerociousCake @KDtracy5 if you guys would have told me while we were drafting I could have given you the money, and now I'm unemployed #fml

@kimguilfoyle you go girl you tell Bob

@ezraklein UNEMPLOYMENT IS 25% IN SPAIN, 21% IN GREECE, 11% IN ITALY &

@feliciasonmez So, Ryan liked Obama's speech and expects to be unemployed?

This administration calculates the unemployment rate so that if 100% dropped out of the workforce, we would have 0% unemployment. Handy.

Labor stats: 96k jobs created in Aug, 8.1% unemployment, 63.5% labor participation rate (lowest in 20 yrs), U-6 underemployment at 14.7%

Guess What?! We are still are above 8% #unemployment and that doesn't include everyone who is underemployed. This isn't #forward2012

I wish I could swap out all the unemployed people that WANT to work for all EMPLOYED people that work with BAD ATTITUDES!

EVERYDAY IS SATURDAY WHEN YOU'RE UNEMPLOYED

I think the gallop poll is rigged or they polled just the 8.1% unemployed

Wait... the job report said we have millions of unemployed/non-jobseeking people? #RommeyRyan12

@WTHRcom watched John Stehr twist the story on unemployment Unemployment Is down as fewer people are looking for jobs.tell the whole story

People were terrified of Palin being a heartbeat away?? What about @Biden?? #GOP #GOP2012 #RomneyRyan2012 #Election2012 #Unemployment

#toolazy want to quit work but everyone on my #staffdiscount tariff will murder me miss the unemployed student leech off my mum life :(

right-wing Alice in Wonderland world where a decreased unemployment rate is an increase an increase in new jobs is a decrease.

Hay I'm not unemployed guy over there gave me 20 to give you hells smell 20 christ and ill go away

@Ali wants to go full Eeyore? Well find a way to get past MSM and tell ppl why unemployment is really 8.1% and creating so few jobs is #FAIL

How do you account for those who are not part of unemployment and jobless?

@badbanana let's run the survey, are unemployed spending more time on Facebook, or those actually employed! findings might shock Facebook
