Three and a half years into The One's administration, and the jobs picture

There are 1.5 million more unemployed than in January, 2009.


And there are 8,245,105 more people in the US.

Why don't you look at the number EMPLOYED?:

Ja sure there are more people employed, but the economy is not growing at a rate as high as the rate of new people entering the work force.

The percentage of the total US population -- including cildren,
seniors, and everyone else -- that is employed is 43%. The percentage
of private-sector jobs added, as a percentage of the population
increase from Jan. 2009 is...43%.

So, it's not a good situation, but the implication of the earlier
post, and your statement here, are incorrect.That is, if we don't keep
cutting government jobs. But it looks like that well is about dried
up.

If we keep at this rate the number of unemployed will keep rising.

Of course. And that would hold true if the unemployment rate was 1%.


Here's private nonfarm employment:

Here's total government employment:

Whoop! You mean, private employment has gone up -- as has total
employment -- while government employment has gone down??? What's a
Republican to do??

Easy vote for someone besides the incumbent.

For those who can't do arithmetic, yes.
