gut;1783667 wrote:Yeah.....I don't think your numbers are right.

ZWICK 4 PREZ;1783675 wrote:Yeah doesn't look look like they are. 11 mil were unemployed in 2007 but only 8.7 mil jobs were lost.

gut;1783678 wrote:8.7M was what I read. That's an interesting difference, though, as "full-employment" is generally considered in the neighborhood of 5%, which is something like 7M people. But I think the job losses continued into 2008-9, peaking around 15M unemployed.

But labor participation has become a better indicator because of the prolonged recession and snail's pace recovery...even Obama admitted recently the participation rate is still low even with adjusting for boomers retiring, so the current 5.1% is probably understated by at least a few points.

I'd agree most of the jobs created have not been good jobs.

ZWICK 4 PREZ;1783679 wrote:Agreed. I still maintain we haven't replaced the jobs lost at all. We lost a ton of well paying jobs with a ton of poorly paying jobs. The companies that suffered the most jobs lost aren't the ones who have replaced said 8.7 mil jobs.

Wait you actually question this? Lol.

We we lost what, 11 million jobs? We gained 7 million or so? Looks like we're still down 4 million jobs from pre-recession. The overwhelming majority of the jobs are minimum wage service industry. Spending is down 70%. It literally blows my mind you'd question that. That's pretty much ccrunner territory. I already pointed of a few examples of companies who employment is down. I'd looooooove to hear your refute. I'll be waiting.



***We've gained back 8.7 mil jobs according to Forbes.

Compared to January 2008, jobs in construction are down 20%, manufacturing 11.7% and banking 4.8%.
Some lower-paying fields have seen increases. Temp jobs are up 16% and leisure and hospitality positions have risen 8.1%. Retail sales jobs are down slightly from the 2008 peak, but that masks an increase of about 925,000 positions since the labor market bottomed out in early 2010.
"It is a quality game much more than it is a quantity game," said Lindsey Piegza, chief economist at brokerage Sterne Agee.
"We're really not seeing that high-wage recovery that is indicative of a strong consumer lining their pockets with wages and going out and spending," she said.
It's typical for lower-paying jobs to lead the way out of a recession, economists said.

Your lack of intellect puts you correctly in the Bernie camp, but your disregard for the truth is more Hillary-like.
