CNN: New Jobs Report is Good News for the USA!

[dennis4868]

This female CNN reporter is interviewing Dick Gephardt and she told the Congressman that the new jobs report is encouraging....HAHAHAHAHAHA.....CNN is in serious spin mode right now. They are bragging about 96,000 jobs created? Hahaha....Clinton's wortse month in 8 years was around 200,000. Then CNN said that "well, because of 911 things are not as good as we all may want it to be." But we have been through war after war without having such lousy job numbers....CNN SUCKS!

1. Right, that's why stock market futures are tanking

The stock market is primed for a sell off based on the weak job numbers report. If big money (Merril Lynch, et al) really want to save Bush's ass, they will prop up the market. If the market sells off hard, you know they have given up on him.

5. Big money has been propping him up for 3 years now.

Even they are probably sick of this mess. I predict a crash soon.

7. YES!

The female reporter on CNN (dont know her name) said that because 911 there are simply not alot of new jobs out there.....what an ass!

10. same CRAP some idiot Repig tried to tell me

yesterday...what a crock of bu$hit.

6. CNN...

was saying that the poor job numbers were because employers were not sure who the next prez would be and because of the high cost of oil...The Gepper knocked that down nicely blaming Cheney for no energry program and saying Bush is not doing anything to create jobs other than saying LESS TAXES FOR MY FRIENDS!

8. Too Funny..

You know usually a war is supposed to be a great job creator in an economy. Bush has 2 wars going simultaneously and the numbers are miserable!

[Libby2]

9. You're exactly right

They claim 9/11 is responsible for all of our woes.
If that's the case we're in big trouble folks.
Big trouble.

While it is significant, to think it's still the blame 3 years later, is frightening.
I guess we aren't so strong, after all.

[Sparkly]

11. Just what I was going to say -- war's supposed to create jobs

In addition, there is a ton of stimulus in the economy -- so much that it's stimulated enormous deficits and added to the national debt, and STILL the employment stats are crappy. We should be riding high on this much borrowed money. It just went to the people who didn't need it.

12. GOP's favorite jobs report, the Household Survey, shows 585000 jobs lost

Household Jobs show disaster-labor force drops 1 million, job loss of 585K

The GOP's favorite DOL jobs number, the Household survey number, shows bigger Job disaster than shown in the anemic 96,000 jobs gain in the payroll survey jobs number. The Household Survey reports 201,000 lost jobs in September since 139,681,000 were "seasonal adjusted" employed in Aug less 139,480,000 of Seasonal adjusted folks Employed in Sept., and that is a drop of 201,000 jobs. If you prefer numbers that are not seasonally adjusted, then 140,226,000 less 139,641,000, or 585,000 jobs were lost in Sept.

And that Steady 5.4% Unemployment rate is based on folks no longer being in the labor pool and therefore not counted as unemployed. The seasonal adjusted change is from 147,704,000 looking for work or employed in August to 147,483,000 looking for work or employed in Sept, or 221,000 folks dropped out. If you like non-seasonally adjusted numbers, then 148,166,000 less 147,186,000, or a huge 980,000 folks stopped looking for work or being employed in Sept.

NEARLY ONE MILLION FOLKS STOPPED LOOKING FOR WORK OR BEING EMPLOYED IN SEPTEMBER!!!!
