The drop in the unemployment rate from March’s 6.7 percent came as the agency’s survey of households showed the labor forceshrank by more the 800,000 in April. The so-called participation rate, which indicates the share of working-age people in the labor force, decreased to 62.8 percent, matching the lowest level since 1978, from 63.2 percent a month earlier.



The unprecedented War of Jobs by the obama regime is of historic proportion.

Change we can believe in ...

LOL. There is literally no new information in that email?? What am I missing here??? I guess there's the presumption that there was some kind of nefarious purpose that nobody's seen this particular email before? My God the ability of you people to treat a nothingburger as if it is this ridiculous conspiracy is astounding!

Please bring on the impeachment hearings already!

Nice try, again, but FAIL.

Yeah, nothing new here right? Just proof that the WH changed the talking points toward a video just so that the Presidents policies didn't look bad. Yeah, nothing new...you can not be serious.


unless you are believing the lie from the press secretary that the state department included this email in a list of documents about Benghazi but in fact it had nothing to do with Benghazi. Do you believe that lie? Because if not then it most certainly proves what conservatives have said all along, that the WH wanted Benghazi to be about the video.

The more they dig into defending their lie, the more that keeps coming out exposing them. At this point they're spinning lies to cover previous lies about lies to cover lies.

This is the proverbial digging yourself a deeper hole....Carney's dug about as deep as he can and the 'ol yeller treatment is coming soon.

The sad part is only a hyper-political machine that only cares about votes would have seen need to lie about something relatively petty and trivial. When you break it down, the truly unbelievable aspect of this is that the administration felt the need to lie about it in the first place.

"The Benghazi emails are not about Benghazi".


And the media and the sheeple and the takers applauded.

Agreed, this jobs recession is lasting much longer than anyone anticipated. And it is only getting worse:

Perhaps the most hostile administration since Carter towards business isn't working out, and Bernanke's interest rate bubble isn't going to last forever. I can't imagine how difficult it is to be a young person now. Few job opportunities and insane education costs. This has been disastrous for an entire generation.

Yes, Obama is the start of a lost generation. I'm sure that is entirely surprising and unexpected...for some.

Sure, this didn't blow-up Japan...do you really want Japan's last 20 years?!?

It honestly almost makes me cry that Obama makes Hillary look like a savior...ignoring the fact that Obama got swept into power because so many thought he was a savior.

Including plenty of under-employed or unemployed millennials who blindly pulled the lever for Barry for a host of asinine reasons.

I agree, young people dug their own grave because they got swept up in the whole "he's black and cool" narrative and they get their news from Jon Stewart and the Colbert Report and don't pay attention to reality - the reality being that they need jobs, and not crappy part-time positions.

Well, my feelings of the general ignorance of millenials shouldn't shock anyone.

The liberal leadership isn't stupid - batshit crazy, sure - but they know 90% of the "educated" populace is clueless with regard to finance and economics.

In the decades I've been following politics I've observed that most kids straight out of college (or high school) tend to have left-leaning idealistic and naive world views.

But as the years go by, as the tax bills come due, and as the layoff notices get handed out most of these same people gradually become aware of a little thing called "reality."

I believe that most millennials will eventually snap out of their political stupor and become the force of positive political and economic change in this country.

I believe this is why young people are drawn to Ron Paul.

How's the old saying go?

If you aren't liberal when you are young, you have no heart. If you aren't conservative when you are old you are dumb.

I rather be "heartless" and smart now.

I was "heartless" even while I was a student at Ohio U.

I enjoyed annoying the crap out of my political science profs and the Nancy liberal dooshers in student government when I was in Athens because I had a tendency to - oh I dunno - speak the truth.

Same. So many annoying liberals at that school. Everyone ran through the streets when Obama was elected there. I sank my head deeper into my hands and cried tears of vodka.

My general feeling is the right complains more generally about the liberal media (and pretty much ignores MSNBC). While the left vociferously attacks Fox and Limbaugh (I assume mainly because no one else on the right seems to have any influence)...to the point that they seem desperate to convince their followers everything outside the liberal bubble is a lie. And you can see how some have completely bought into that.

The left has a pretty effective propaganda machine rolling - believe everything I say without question, don't believe anything they say and question everything. The big difference between those lemmings and the right-wing nuts is the former CHOOSE to be stupid. What the left and their lemmings practice/believe these days is akin to intellectual incest.

What's funny about this post is that you think this is a smart take but it's pure conspiratorial drivel.

Or as I've always said but you conveniently disregard, large deficit caused by a very large tax cut. I suggest eliminating payroll taxes which would provide more income to every working american and probably increase nominal spending by close to $1 trillion.

Literally nobody in Washington gets it. All horses, just of a different color. Obama and the Democrats think shrinking the private sector's balance sheets by raising taxes is a good thing...The Tea Party Derps and the Republicans think shrinking the private sector's balance sheets by cutting spending is a good thing.

A recession is right around the corner as the closing "deficit" continues to drain financial assets from where it really counts...the bank accounts of private citizens. The Fed has the power to try and stop it by making the financial asset base more liquid but it will inevitably lead to a bubble (although bubble after bubble is still better than decades of depression and no bubble like in Japan).


Just eliminate the income tax and let the "deficit" boom...and the economy will boom. It doesn't matter what way you do it...you just have to increase the net financial assets on private sector balance sheets with a larger "deficit".

It's simple and we've known the answer since the 1930's.

Unemployment is a political choice imposed on our society by the power-elites who tell the masses that we must have "sound finance" when such principles are inapplicable to a currency issuing sovereign. The ordinary tea party conservatives who just want to work hard and be good patriots and have become convinced that the outstanding number of treasury securities are going to be "burdens on our children and grandchildren" are the marks in this con. Somebody else's treasury security is no more a burden on you than somebody else's savings account.

Oh well.
