“Of the approx. 6 million new employments since Obama took office in January 2009, 4,511,000, 75 percent, were Hispanic/Latino!”…Citizen Wells

“In today’s labor market, there are nearly 1 million “missing” young workers—potential workers who are neither employed nor actively seeking work (and are thus not counted in the unemployment rate) because job opportunities remain so scarce. If these missing workers were in the labor market looking for work, the unemployment rate of workers under age 25 would be 18.1 percent instead of 14.5 percent.”…Economic Policy Institute May 1, 2014

***  Important update below  ***

The Obama controlled mainstream has been busy lauding the job growth and laying the groundwork to blame lower jobs on the weather.

Here is one of many examples.

From Market Watch March 5, 2015.

“The U.S. probably produced 238,000 new jobs in February, according to economists polled by MarketWatch. That would mark a small decline from January’s preliminary 257,000 gain and larger drop from the brawny 336,000 monthly average since November. But it would still be pretty darn good and extend a streak of 200,000-plus increases to 12 months, the longest string of such gains since 1994-1995.

The unemployment rate, meanwhile, is seen dipping to 5.6% in February from 5.7% in January.”

“Bad weather can play havoc with early efforts to figure out how many jobs were created. In 2013, for example, the government initially said the economy created 236,000 jobs. That figure was eventually boosted to 314,000 — a 33% increase.

This winter the weather was unusually warm from November through early January before turning much worse. Extreme temperatures or heavy snow make it harder for people to get to work and lead to temporary work shutdowns.”

Job growth “pretty darn good”, eh?

Here is another employment fact.

Last year, 2014, the US Labor Dept. claims a gain of 3,464,000 jobs and a gain in employment of whites of 1,626,000 whites.

See anything wrong with those numbers?

From Citizen Wells March 5, 2015.

“ADP just reported 212,000 jobs added.

Regardless of the number, the lies about the job situation and economy will continue from the Obama Administration and Obama controlled mainstream media.

Did you know that 5,088,000 jobs were lost during Obama’s first year in office?

Recession over June 2009???

From Citizen Wells March 2, 2015.

“Here is the truth:

Job recovery of what jobs?

It is questionable if we have recovered the jobs lost prior to Obama taking office.

2.8 million white Americans fewer were employed during Obama’s first year.

During Obama’s term, from January 2009 to now, 75 percent of the employment went to Hispanics/Latinos.

New entrants to the labor market, those turning 16, netted by deaths yields at least 9 million new workers.

The US Labor Dept. states that we have approx. 15.5 million more in the labor force since January 2009.

4.7 million migrants were given work permits and God only knows how many more illegals entered the country.

There was an increase of over 12 million not in the labor force since Obama took office.

This is one reason that millennials are having a tough time.

Of the jobs touted in the article above for last year, 1.3 million went to Hispanic/Latinos. Almost as much as White Americans.”

https://citizenwells.wordpress.com/2015/03/02/job-recovery-a-lie-over-9-million-millennials-entered-job-market-2-8-million-fewer-white-americans-employed-in-obamas-first-year-4-7-million-migrants-given-work-permits-sloppy-reporting-bias-orw/

So, in 2009, Obama’s first year in office, we lost 5,088,000 jobs, added at least 1.5 million legal workers to the labor force and God only knows how many illegals.

Oh sure, the recession was over in June 2009 and the economy was well on the way to recovery….if you are on drugs,

Perhaps that explains it.”

***  Update Mar 6, 8:50 AM  ***

Orwellian BLS data reality check.

ADP reported 212,000 jobs added 2 days ago.

The US Labor Dept. BLS just reported 295,000 jobs added.

But get this!

There were 96,000 more people employed.

There were 354,000 more people not in the labor force!

There were 180,000 more people not in the labor force who want a job now!

There were 250,000 more Hispanic/Latino workers employed since December 2014 (Jan. number was “rectified” by BLS & why Dec was chosen).

43,000 fewer Whites employed in Feb!!!

“millions of Americans are getting or are about to get cancellation letters for their health insurance under Obamacare, say experts, and the Obama administration has known that for at least three years.”…NBC News October 29, 2013

 “The “real” unemployment rate rose from 13.6% in September to 13.8% in October, according to figures released today by the Bureau of Labor Statistics”…CNS News November 8, 2013

“The Times of the nineteenth of December had published the official forecasts of the output of various classes of consumption goods in the fourth quarter of 1983, which was also the sixth quarter of the Ninth Three-Year Plan. Today’s issue contained a statement of the actual output, from which it appeared that the forecasts were in every instance grossly wrong. Winston’s job was to rectify the original figures by making them agree with the later ones. As for the third message, it referred to a very simple error which could be set right in a couple of minutes. As short a time ago as February, the Ministry of Plenty had issued a promise (a ‘categorical pledge’ were the official words) that there would be no reduction of the chocolate ration during 1984. Actually, as Winston was aware, the chocolate ration was to be reduced from thirty grammes to twenty at the end of the present week. All that was needed was to substitute for the original promise a warning that it would probably be necessary to reduce the ration at some time in April.”…George Orwell, “1984″

 

I often tell my friends and associates that much of what we discuss is not about politics or ideologies.

It is about people.

I have tried to keep the real news about the economy and jobs in front of people.

The real economic news is scary, but like the impact of Obamacare, it is the human side that is the scariest.

Here are two articles from Zero Hedge that tell part of the story.

“Guest Post: Meet One Of The Victims Of The “Economic Recovery””

“Have you ever cried yourself to sleep because you had no idea how you were going to pay the bills even though you were working as hard as you possibly could?  You are about to hear from a single mother that has been there.”

“What you are about to read is an open letter to Barack Obama that has gone absolutely viral on the Internet in recent days.  It is a letter that a single mother named Yolanda Vestal posted on her Facebook page, and it has really struck a nerve because countless other young parents can clearly identify with what she is going through.  The following is the text of her letter…

Dear President Obama,

 

I wanted to take a moment to say thank you for all you have done and are doing. You see I am a single Mom located in the very small town of Palmer, Texas. I live in a small rental house with my two children. I drive an older car that I pray daily runs just a little longer. I work at a mediocre job bringing home a much lower paycheck than you or your wife could even imagine living on. I have a lot of concerns about the new “Obamacare” along with the taxes being forced on us Americans and debts you are adding to our country. I have a few questions for you Mr. President.

 

Have you ever struggled to pay your bills? I have.

 

Have you ever sat and watched your children eat and you eat what was left on their plates when they were done, because there wasn’t enough for you to eat to? I have.

 

Have you ever had to rob Peter to pay Paul, and it still not be enough? I have.

 

Have you ever been so sick that you needed to see a doctor and get medicine, but had no health insurance because it was too expensive? I have.

 

Have you ever had to tell your children no, when they asked for something they needed? I have.

 

Have you ever patched holes in pants, glued shoes, replaced zippers, because it was cheaper than buying new? I have.

 

Have you ever had to put an item or two back at the grocery store, because you didn’t have enough money? I have.

 

Have you ever cried yourself to sleep, because you had no clue how you were going to make ends meet? I have.

 

My questions could go on and on. I don’t believe you have a clue what Americans are actually going through and honestly, I don’t believe you care. Not everyone lives extravagantly. While your family takes expensive trips that cost more than most of us make in two-four years, there are so many of us that suffer. Yet, you are doing all you can to add to the suffering. I think you are a very selfish and cold hearted man, who does not care what is best for the people he was elected by (not by me) to represent, but more so out for the glory of your name attached to history. So thank you Mr. President, thank you for pushing those of us that are barely staying afloat completely under water and driving America into the ground. You have made your mark in history, as the absolute worst and most hated president of the United States. God have mercy on your soul!

 

Sincerely,

 

Yolanda Vestal

Average American

These are the kinds of emotions that millions of American parents are wrestling with on a daily basis.  Many of them are working as hard as they possibly can and yet still find themselves unable to adequately provide for their families.”

“”It’s Not Just Harder To Get A Job – It’s Harder To Get A Good Job””

“For many in the US, as WSJ reports based on the bifurcated ‘recovery’ in the US, the recession never ended, “we’re still in it… it feels like like we’re still in it and it’s getting worse.” Simply out, America’s jobs recovery is proceeding on two separate tracks – a pattern that is persisting far longer than after past economic rebounds and lately has been growing worse. For those with decent jobs, wages are rising, albeit slowly, and job security is the strongest it has been since before the recession. But many others – the young, the less educated and particularly the unemployed – are experiencing hardly any recovery at all.”
