I believe we are in a stable recession. Job participation rate one of the lowest ever, unemployment stable at around 8% and claim stable. I don’t see how this equals moderate job growth?

The new normal. Good thing we did the stimulus. If the last 4 years are any indicator of the next 4 years I am sure it will all be fixed soon. You voted for this…tick tock…

Yes, INTACT. For those Unemployed due to the policies of this Govt, INTACT is a good work. Intact at the real unemployment number of 11% that fails to be reported. Like a John Meyer Song, they control the information so you believe it. SAD.

How can anyone lie and admit they have lied in one statement and still expect to have some credibility. Oh, that’s right, I forgot their reader base is mostly liberals.

Millions of jobs are always lost after the holiday season. The question is, how many jobs will be created after these losses?

What’s even more pathetic than this report are the gullible and naive who will soon be posting here, supporting Obama’s failed policies, blaming Bush, and spouting more of these pulp fiction and propaganda statistics as fact.

I’m amazed at the length some will go to to prop up this misplaced faith. They make religious zealotry look like a starter kit for fanatics.

BS After I had commented the past 3 months on how a lot of the “job gains” were a result of seasonal hiring due to the holidays I was blasted by about 50 liberals that claimed the numbers were adjusted for that…..now you justify the lay-offs are do to the same reason I said they were hired…………lying, hypocrites!!!! The economy is in the toilet…and it is NOT Bush’s fault.

Pragmatism has no basis in reality. It is an ideal and ideals are not reality. Greed, lust, power, wealth, war, birth, death, loss, fear…these are real and in the end no HUMAN has any control over any of it. That is reality. All we can do is tweak it a little here and there and keep the mushroom clouds to a minimum. “Acceptance is the answer to all my problems today”-The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous.

Be you who are and take ownership for the decisions you make. Or you can resort throwing mud and name calling.

While I understand everyone has their preferences, you’d be lying to yourself to place the blame squarely on either side of the aisle. The fact is all of our politicians have done a phenomal job of avoid big issues, kicking the can down the road, and pushing our country away from real recovery. Say what you want, but until you start holding EVERYONE accountable, I can’t take you seriously and these problems won’t be solved.

The fact that it takes over 250K new jobs to just break even every month must have escaped the obama administration, the 153k is a net loss of a 100K every month ! There are over 12 Million unemployed in this country, if you add in those who are who are working part-time, but can’t find full time employment because of a range of issues including the Affordable Care Act employer are cutting out full time employees, allowing them to work less than 27 hrs a week! Thank God that obama is draining the treasury with federal give a ways, instead of Jobs!
