thanks wall street

>>926217
forgot to add mexico

>>926206
>>149 million

lol.

I call on the 149 million to rise up and say hey, gimme shit

What happened in February of 2009 that seemed to case this pendulum shift. Silly libertarians, "The bailout did nothing, the market was coming back anyway" :3

was this "18 times the speed of light" also fox?
they really need to get a grasp of numbers

Meanwhile nobody gives a shit about tea party attentionwhores anymore.

>149 Unemployed
>309,252,000 People live in the US

How dare Grandpa and Junior act like lazy assholes!

>>926253
>pendulum shift
America's fixed now eh

inb4 unemployment starts soaring again

>>926253
There are more people out of work now than in February.

>>926260
could just be the one third of the population that is dangerously obese

>>926254

you could get plenty of people employed by building the public transportation systems, and requisite rolling stock, the USA desperately needs

>>926290

Labor force increased, and a large amount of jobs were made. Learn to read the actual release.

>>926304
Why would I want to pay more taxes when I own a car?

149 / 307 = 0.48534202

So 48.5% of people are unemployed?

Wowwwww... Now stop making fun of them and calling them neckbeards and tell them to start rioting or something

>>926309
This makes what I said less true how?

If only we passed some kind of stimulus to do something like....oh

>>926315
70km Mandurah railway+eleven stations $1.5 billion AUD
39km EastLink freeway $2.5 billion AUD
public transportation is cheaper and more efficient and moves more people and produces less pollution & carbon emissions

Wall Street forgot to mention those jobs were created in India and China.

>149,000,000

wait is this a joke number?

Now post the one with the over 100% poll

Silly news. There is no way that 149 million Americans could be unemployed.

http://www.bls.gov/web/laus/laumstrk.htm

14.9 million?

>>926350

thats pretty good considering how we were losing 500 million jobs a month

>>926346

It's a bloated number,about half the population is too young to work. Take into account the retired citizens and you realize it's damn near impossible to have that many unmployed workers.

Hell,that would be about 14.9% of CHINA'S Population

it was china that took our jerbs, and they really did. mexicans just assimilate like everyone else and make the american workforce larger

They counted as unemployed all the people who aren't working (children, old folks, soccer moms and such) and not just those who are actively seeking employment. You can pull such crap figures in any country with that method.

it was 10.4% before Christmas, then went down to an even 10%
I've read though that it could be as high as 20% or higher when various means of creative accounting are removed from how they figure it

Can someone find the total jobs in america and then lets just compare that to total population, I know I know lots are too young to work but lets see the real number of people not working

>>926381
Damn, I was going to write that. *brofist*

>>926378

every one knows the unemployment figures the gov give us are bullshit to make shit seem better than it is

>>926399

The laborforce is about ~150mil, the 149 is accurate.

>>926417

So one person has a job every 3.7 Miles?

>>926417
>>926417
If you don't have a job long enough you arnt considered in the labor force though what kinda shit is that

>>926431

U.S. population is 309,258,162. About half of them have jobs, this leaves about ~149million that don't. I don't know if you're trolling or forgot how to use a calculator.

>>926465

OH!.... I thought you said 149 Million of the 150Million strong workforce were unemployed... My Bad

>>926465
Whats the population of everone under 18

Persons under 18 years old, percent, 2008 24.3%

24.3% of 309 258 162 = 75 149 733.4

ITT: Trolled libtards

>>926465
Learn what unemployed means you idiotic whore

149 000 000 - 75 149 733.4 = 73 850 266.6

~74 million that should be working out of work


74 000 000 / 309 000 000 = 0.239482201

so 23.9% about unemployed sound right

>>926513

>>926517
24% actually seems like a pretty reasonable number for how many people that should be working but arnt

its because of niggers

You want to know where the jobs are? The corporations are hording them. Instead of using their enmorous wealth to hire new workers and get the economy up and running, they're cutting back even more to gain more profit.

One good example is the conversion of full-time positions to part time positions.

>>926621
What happends when robots take all the jobs?!?!?!?!

Do we all get to lounge at beaches?

>>926621
Going by your logic, eventually you will have a CEO doing all the jobs in a multinational corporation so he can keep all the monies.

>>927049
This is the logic of capitalism's changes in the organic composition (workers : machines) of capital. Not surprisingly this is the reason for capitalism's "inevitable" overthrow in Marx.

>>927059
Than is it lounge on beach time?!?!

THE FREE MARKET WILL FIX IT

wait wait wait wait, what?! 148 mil Americans are unemployed?! Is it really that bad down there? Holy shit.

>>927059

fucken lol'd

+1

>>927059

>>927197
more like ~74 million of working age people not working

>>927144
THIS

>>926621
its called efficiency. thats why the soviets failed in applied technology, they were so backwards they would rather hire more people to do the work less people could do with the help of machines for cheaper and faster production. and people wonder why the ussr collapsed. technology is not to be feared but embraced.

>>927144
THE FREE MARKET DOESN'T CARE ABOUT YOUR UNEMPLOYMENT

>>927285
see
>>926520

So technically, they're unemployed
