“In December 2014 there were 18 million immigrants (legal and illegal) living in the country who had arrived since January 2000. But job growth over this period was just 9.3 million — half of new immigration.”…Center for Immigration Studies February 2015

“We are being lied to on a scale unimaginable by George Orwell.”…Citizen Wells

 

 

Anybody listening, watching?

Citizen Wells has been warning you for many months about the decimation of white American, native born, jobs under Obama.

We have been constantly bombarded, in Orwellian, “1984” fashion about all the jobs created and strengthening economy.

Even the mainstream media cannot prop up the latest numbers.

And now we have another problem that cannot be ignored. And it will become a self fulfilling prophecy. Further affecting consumer spending.

Companies slashing employees and buying by stock.

From Market Watch October 2, 2015.

“Companies are cutting jobs and buying back stock at the same time

How would you feel if the company that just laid you off said it was spending millions of dollars, or even billions, to buy back its stock?

At least you wouldn’t feel lonely.

U.S. companies announced 205,759 job cuts during the third quarter, the most since the third quarter of 2009, just after the Great Recession, according to data provided by outplacement company Challenger, Gray & Christmas Inc. In September, the number of announced job cuts was nearly double what it was at the same time last year.

On Friday, the Labor Department released a stinker of a September jobs report.

At the same time, share repurchases announced by U.S. companies during the third quarter remains around the highest levels in at least the last decade, according to data provider Dealogic Ltd. In September, companies authorized buybacks totaling $243.4 billion, more than seven times the amount announced in the same month a year ago, Dealogic said.

One might think these corporate actions are mutually exclusive, but as the chart above shows, many companies are doing both. In fact, some companies have even announced job cuts and share buybacks in the same news release.”

“Industry expects said that often times, money used for stock buybacks comes from retained earnings—saved from the past—while layoffs reflect concerns about the future outlook for growth. When times are tough, however, it’s a different story.

“Whenever a company is laying off employees, something is not going the way it wanted it to,” said Dr. Michael McDonald, a professor at Fairfield University’s Dolan School of Business, in a phone interview with MarketWatch.

When a company is buying back stock and laying people off as its share price is falling, it could be viewed as “defensive” move, he said.”

From Rush Limbaugh October 2, 2015.

“There Is No Economic Recovery

RUSH: There’s also economic news out today on the jobs market. Once again, I predicted this. No surprise here. There is no economic recovery, zip, zero, nada, and there has not been for seven years. And Wall Street is practically now admitting it, and the Federal Reserve, by saying, “Well, I guess we can cease all this talk about raising interest rates.” There have been a lot of people seemingly waiting for interest rates to be raised by the Fed, because that would mean, wow, the economy is really exploding. Except it isn’t, it hasn’t even been close. We’re now over 94 million Americans not working. The labor force participation rate is nearing an all-time low in this country.”

“Now the economic news, finally. You know, for the past three or four years we’ve had to put up with a lying, stinking media, ignoring repeated bad news on the economy — be it wages or hours worked or full-time employment, unemployment, jobs in general, or whatever — and then on the rare occasion where a month would feature some in-and-of-itself good news, then that would be reported and built up into massive, great, year-round news that’s happening.

“The economy’s finally rebounded! The recovery is taking place! Job creation’s ongoing!” It was all lies. This economy… From Obama’s first year in office — when he first did the stimulus, the Porkulus bill — there has not been economic expansion, and more and more people have been leaving the workforce. People’s hours have been converted from full time to part time so that employers comply with Obamacare.”

“It was the lie.

It’s the creation of an illusion because people realize that perception is reality, and if you report enough to create a perception there’s a robust economy happening out there and a robust recovery, even people not experiencing it will believe it because, well, they see it on TV. So when the Fed says, “Well, I guess we can’t raise interest rates,” what that means is that there is no economic activity. Now, the jobs numbers this month are like 60,000 below analysts’, experts’ expectations or whatever.

But the fact of the matter is that month to month it’s been a game of the media working with jaundiced numbers provided by the government. The overall truth is there hasn’t been any economic recovery. The evidence is everywhere. Millennials can’t find jobs, Millennials, college graduates, can’t find careers. More and more people are living at home. The job market’s being flooded with illegal immigrants, which is depressing wages. I mean, there’s not one decent economic sign out there.”

From Citizen Wells October 2, 2015.

“Citizen Wells has been warning you for many months.

The employment situation, despite the best efforts of the White House and mainstream to lie to you, is bad and getting worse.

White Americans, who still compose approx. two thirds of the working age population, have been decimated in employment under Obama.

White employment fell 135,000 in September.

White employment fell 267,000 since January.

The labor force participation rate fell to 62.4 percent the lowest since 1977.

A record 94.6 million Americans are not in the labor force.

A meager 142,000 “jobs” were created in September.

August “jobs” were revised downward 37,000 to 136,000.

We are closer to being in a depression that the recession we have been in.”

White employment down 267K in 2015, 142K “jobs” added, Participation rate plummets to Oct 1977 level, Americans not in labor force at record 94.6 million, August jobs revised down 37K to 136K

From Zero Hedge October 2, 2015.

“The US Has Added Three Times More Foreign-Born Workers Than Native-Born Since December 2007

If you thought the headline jobs print was bad, wait till you see this.

While we will show the quality of the jobs shortly (you guessed it: waiters and bartenders jumped, manufacturing workers tumbled), with the presidential elections, in which immigration has become the key topic coming up, a far more relevant issue is the spread between “native-born” workers (as defined by the BLS), and “foreign-born.” Expect the September data to provide much fodder for the upcoming republican and democratic debates.

But before we show what happened, here is a quick glance at the breakdown between full and part-time jobs in September. According to the BLS, 53,000 part-time jobs were added in September. The offset: a drop of 185,000 full-time jobs. Welcome, once again, to the part-time recovery we first profiled in December 2010.”

The US Labor Department will come out with the September “jobs” report this morning. Once again the mainstream media including Fox and even Zero Hedge will blindly follow the cues about the mythical jobs that were created last month.

We know that most of the jobs created under Obama are part time, low paying jobs and this correlates well with the growth in Hispanic employment which correlates with the influx of illegal immigrants.

Why did no one, aside from Citizen Well,s report the over 130,000 drop in white employment in the first 6 months of 2015 and the decimation of white employment since Obama took office?

I got this data from the US Labor Dept.

People employed by ethnicity. Not mythical jobs.

There has been much written here about this. Search on employment to read more.

From Citizen Wells September 4, 2015.

““Total nonfarm payroll employment increased by 173,000 in August, and the
unemployment rate edged down to 5.1 percent, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today.”

There was an increase in 23,000 white American employment in August.
However, white employment is down 132,000 since January!!!

***  Update 9:10 AM  ***

Almost 1.5 million more white Americans dropped out of labor force since Jan.

White employment to population ratio down .3 percent since Jan.

White labor force participation rate down .6 percent since Jan.

Regardless of the unemployment rate and jobs data provided by the US Labor Department this morning, September 4, 2015, the real employment situation can also be found in their data.

I found this article by Business Insider from February 10, 2011.

“No One Looking At This Chart Could Possibly Call It A Recovery”

“Currently the problem in the US jobs market mainly lies with, what I call, the maintenance rate. This is the minimum monthly job creation rate that our enormous system–our economy and government with its revenues and liabilities–must have in order to maintain itself as population grows. Getting lost in the weeds, therefore, of monthly unemployment rates is a waste of time. After having lost 8+ million jobs from the top of the last expansion, nitpicking one’s way through the additions, revisions, and changes to the presumed size of the work force misses the point. And that’s this: any month in which the US does not create at least 125,000 jobs, from a systemic point of view, is negative. It’s less than zero.”

“Now you know why annual government budgets have blown out into the the trillions: the economic flows normally provided by a functioning economy are now provided through unemployment checks, food stamps, FDR style spending and other distributions. In short, the “economy” cannot be experiencing a recovery when, after 10 years of population growth and growth in future liabilities, the number of people employed is hovering around levels last seen in 2002-2004. Whether you chose to look at just Non-Farm Employment, or Total Employment, the US Labor Market is essentially flat-lining since a deep trough was reached in late 2009, early 2010.

Those who would make sweeping claims about a recovery in the entire economy should place these two charts shown here in their printed columns, along with the fact that the US population has grown by over 25 million people since the year 2000.”

The referenced study from above was retrieved from the WayBack Machine.

Why was it scrubbed?

From the Brookings Institute February 4, 2011.

“The traditional unemployment rate does not fully capture the extent of labor underutilization in our economy. In addition to the 14 million Americans who are officially counted as unemployed (the jobless who are still actively looking for work), there are over 11 million Americans who either want to work but have given up looking, or who are underemployed in the sense that they are working part time because full-time work is unavailable. These additional workers are less visible but are undoubtedly victims of the recent recession.”

“The Hamilton Project explores the monthly “job gap” based on the employment numbers—or the number of jobs the economy needs in order to return to return to pre-recession employment levels while absorbing the 125,000 people who enter the labor force each month.

The annual revision to the historical payroll numbers released with the January report paint an even starker picture for the job gap this month, increasing it to 12.4 million jobs.

The chart below shows the evolution of the job gap since the start of the Great Recession in December 2007. The thick line in the chart below shows the net number of jobs lost since the Great Recession began.

The broken lines display the date by which the jobs gap would be closed under alternative assumptions about the rate of job creation going forward. If the economy adds about 208,000 jobs per month, the average monthly rate for the best year of job creation in the 2000s, then it will take until July 2023 to close the job gap. At a more optimistic rate of 321,000 jobs per month, the average monthly rate for the best year of the 1990s, the economy will reach pre-recession employment levels by May 2016. ”

“Exposing The Lie Behind The “Strong Jobs Recovery” In One Chart”

“With all eyes glued to Friday’s payrolls report, we thought it worth reiterating some ‘facts’ about US employment data. As ECRI notes, the sustained decline in the official jobless rate – now approaching the Fed’s estimate of “full employment” – is a misleading indicator of labor market slack. The data shows that the so-called jobs recovery has been spearheaded by cheap labor, with job gains going disproportionately to the least educated — and lowest-paid — workers.

Indeed, the stagnation in nominal wage growth is consistent with the weakness in the employment/population (E/P) ratio. That said, even the E/P ratio may be overstating the health of the jobs market.

After dropping to three-decade lows in the wake of the Great Recession, the E/P ratio, has barely improved since the fall of 2013, reversing only about one-fifth of its decline from its pre-recession highs.””

From the NY Times September 30, 2015.

“State Dept. Calls 3 of Hillary Clinton’s Emails ‘Secret’ After Reviewing 6,300 Pages

Three emails sent to Hillary Rodham Clinton in 2011 when she was secretary of state contained information that should have been considered “secret,” the government’s second-highest classification, according to a State Department review of about 6,300 pages of her emails made public on Wednesday.

In one case, officials have deemed the email secret because aides to Mrs. Clinton attached a document containing the minutes of secret negotiations in 2008 between Israelis and Palestinians that had been posted online by the Al Jazeera television network.

In another instance, two emails sent to Mrs. Clinton contained summaries of confidential discussions among officials of six world powers about Iran’s nuclear program. The emails, sent by Jake Sullivan, one of Mrs. Clinton’s top advisers at the State Department, have now been marked secret by the department.

Among the emails released Wednesday were five that appear to be attempts by hackers to penetrate Mrs. Clinton’s email system. The messages appear to be notices of speeding tickets from the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles. But the emails are well known as phishing attempts by hackers in Russia. It is not clear whether Mrs. Clinton clicked on the malware-infected messages.”

“Mrs. Clinton’s emails also show her private frustration over her interactions with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel as she pressed his government in early 2010 to make concessions the United States believed were critical to move toward a peace settlement.

“FYI. Israelis spinning up a storm, starting with plane briefing on the way over,” an aide to Mrs. Clinton wrote to her, noting that one reporter at the briefing said the Israelis “sounded a bit cocky.”

“They always sound cocky — in the air or on the ground,” Mrs. Clinton wrote back, to Mr. Sullivan.”
