Hurray! Unemployment plummets 0.4% to 9%. 36,000 more people found work. Wait, what? Pelosi, Reid and Obama promised that spending trillions of dollars in stimulus would create jobs. Only 36K were found? Surely they could find more people to install all those solar panels. Of course, government officials says the weather kept people from looking for work.
So to get this number down,the government had to essentially eliminate 700,000 people from the workforce. Where did these people go? This country is not creating jobs and people continue to just give up looking for work. Last month it was 500,000. This month it is 700,000. This can't be good. So at this rate, to get unemployment down to a level that can get Obama re-elected, we need for another 7 million or so to stop looking for work. Or go missing. Whatever works for the government's misleading and dishonest accounting of the nation's unemployment situation.
