Did you hear that we're in the worst downturn since the Great Depression? Did you know that your boy Dubya is largely responsible for it?

Living in the bubble.

Yes, he supports Romney and then he supported Reagan, and then Eisenhowhower maybe, although he was very liberal.

Wow what a time the 50's must have been before the corporations got their hooks into America.

I cannot even blame the corporations, afterall, we are a democracy it is all the dip****s that for for the corporations lies who are to blame.

Yep, corporations only have their hands in republican pockets. Didn't you know the democrats are saints and only worry about helping people and never, ever do wrong, much less take money from foreign countries or corporations

But how could that be?

After all, intellectual giants like you have assured us that contemporary Democrats are all a bunch of radical leftists, socialists, and Marxists.

As I've said before, that's precisely the problem:

The majority of Fox News lemmings on this board are too young to have any real recollection of life in America before the Reagan Revolution.

Those of us who can remember are like personifications of Winston Smith in "1984."

As I heard it lots of those hires were part time employees.. opposed to real jobs..

Wonder how many were old unemployment folks that ran out of eligibility..

I do not believe anything that comes out of washington under this corrupt administration..

they had 43 months to fix the problem and so far the best they can do is .2%..

Sorry Charlie.. that don't hunt..

Economy
Around the Nation: Obama's America

Barack Obama's Labor Department came to his rescue after Wednesday's debate debacle, announcing this morning that 114,000 jobs were added in September, and revising upward by 86,000 the numbers for July and August. The headline unemployment rate fell from 8.1 percent in August to 7.8 percent, a 44-month low.

October surprise!

A little digging, however, tells a far different story. For example, in order for the rate to drop 0.3 percentage points 31 days before a presidential election, 456,000 people would have had to either find work -- or drop out of the labor force. So what happened to 342,000 people?

Also, buried in this Associated Press dispatch is a notable caveat: "Still, many of the jobs added last month were part time. The number of people with part-time jobs who wanted full-time work rose 7.5 percent to 8.6 million." Indeed, the U-6 unemployment rate -- a better measure because it includes the underemployed and those who have given up -- remained unchanged at 14.7 percent. Though on the "bright" side, government unemployment is down from 5.7 percent in July to just 4.3 percent in September. In fact, the previous two months' upward revisions are entirely due to government employment.

For the Record
Math for manipulation

"Suspicion about the federal government's September jobs report has fallen on Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis, who appeared on CNBC [Friday] morning and defended the numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), claiming -- falsely -- that upward revisions of 86,000 jobs were from the private sector. In fact, the new number is entirely accounted for by upward revisions to state and federal government payrolls. The BLS reported that while only 114,000 jobs were created in September -- which would have translated into a rise in unemployment from 8.1% to 8.2% -- the unemployment rate fell dramatically to 7.8%. That unusual drop is the fastest in nearly three decades, and was unexpected even in the rosiest predictions.

So the labor dept is full of chit and their numbers don't line up but Romney 7 trillion in new tax cuts and defense spending does.

I am man enough to admit your guy won the debate on style, he was the better debater but his numbers don't add up.

Are you man enough to answer to those misleading trillions of dollars or are you some little punk with no integrity ?

Curiuos who this "they" is you refer to. Is it your understanding that it's the job of the POTUS to fix the econonmy and unemployment? All by himself?

I've got news for you. Unemployment (and underemployment) is going to remain considerably higher than normal for months, if not years.

Whether they are seasonal, part-time or whatever -- I am sure the people who weren't working who now have something to get a little extra cash around the holidays are thankful for it.

I'm sure they are, but that isn't the point. Point is those people want full time jobs and can't find them. This past jobs report further illustrates that. People are underemployed, or simply not looking anymore.

Of course with the rising gas prices, that assumes the people can afford to go anywhere and have money left over for the rising prices on everything else. The Obama campaign would rather worry about Big Bird though, which by the way, Sesame Street announced they want Obama and his team to stop using them in his campaign. Looks like Obama got b**** slapped by Big Bird too

There are plenty of jobs to be had for the taking in many states, especially the Midwest. Over 25,000+ jobs available on the SD and ND state job service websites, with a lot of them having promising pay (especially for this area) that would give them a good living out here. There are a lot of jobs that people aren't willing to take because they feel it is beneath them. Like working at a Turkey Plant here in my hometown. Turnover for whites there is extremely high, more than 75%, but the minorities in town are thankful for the work and are glad to have it. Starting pay out there is over 10 bucks an hour and it all comes with benefits. Some people are just too picky. Too bad. Grin and bear it. Take what you can get.

That is what I had to do in Colorado. I left a job that paid ~ 40K a year and had every benefit you could imagine (company paid roughly $550 monthly and I had full insurance coverage) and was doing extremely well for myself right out of school. That might not seem like a lot to you, but in North Dakota that is bomb! However, I wanted a change of scenery because the work I did in the legal field was mind-boggling stressful, which is just something I couldn't do with my auto-immune issues (stress is a casual relapse agent) so I moved to Colorado without knowing where I'd live or what I would do for work. I ended up getting seasonal work out there (living in Winter Park ~ actually outside of that, Tabernash) and got my ass kicked in pay and didn't receive any benefits. Had a gig in Denver lined up, but when my grandma got terminally ill, I said F it and came back to South Dakota. The job I have now is less than what I had after college, but much better than Colorado. I'm actually over-qualified for this position (my bosses words, not mine) -- but I told him I didn't care and would be thankful to have any work in this economy.

A lot of the people probably struggling to find work (as in recent graduates) more than likely don't have the skills or working experience to get the jobs they actually want, nor do they have good references. I think Garcia brought this up a while ago about how he found out that someone who he was looking to hire completely lied about his working history. I used to be of the mindset that having a college degree entitled me to a good job with good pay, but that was a horse**** mentality.

In this market, you take what you can get. If that means having 3 part-time jobs to pay the bills, that is what you have to do. I just count my lucky stars that I am not in that position. I think most all of us on here are very, very lucky and blessed.
