U.S. Adds 120,000 New Jobs In Nov As Jobless Rate Falls 8.6%

Jobs created by the market (as opposed to putting someone in another temporary federal government project job) have very little to do with specific legislation.

I think (note the I think part - this is just my theory) that long lasting jobs are like the market - Jobs are created and unemployment goes down when the people that run the businesses are feeling optimistic about their future. The last round of elections balanced out the power a bit between the two parties. Any one party in complete control makes business people nervous.

Uh-huh... Try to float that during election season...

Like I said, since the GOP has yet to pass ANYTHING related to jobs, (contenting itself with renaming Post Offices, and anti-abortion garbage), I'd love to see them try to take credit for ANYTHING job-related.

Do you have some figures from that period you would like to share with us to bolster your premise LJ? Or, more likely, are you simply making it up on the fly.........

So do Reagan and GHW Bush get the credit for those favorable conditions in the same manner that GW Bush gets the blame for the current set of conditions? Just wondering, since you mentioned hypocrisy..........

I'm not saying it'd help in an election, because I hold a very dim view of the general population's ability to understand what the federal government's role should be in a properly balanced free market.

There are some that simply cannot grasp the basic ideas of the market, and there are others - like yourself - that refuse to accept that a free market can work with minimal government intervention, preferring instead to put all their eggs into the federal government's basket.

And you must be purposefully lying... since I gave you a list of bipartisan bills passed by the House, which includes 20 job-creation related bills... and the Democrats in the Senate are sitting on them.

December 01, 2011

While both parties work together to find common ground here, Speaker Boehner has called on President Obama to “dislodge” the more than 20 bipartisan jobs bills piling up in the Democratic-controlled Senate by calling for an immediate vote.

U.S. Adds 120,000 New Jobs In November As Jobless Rate Falls To 8.6 Percent

WASHINGTON -- The U.S. unemployment rate fell last month to its lowest level in more than two and a half years, as employers stepped up hiring in response to the slowly improving economy.

The Labor Department said Friday that the unemployment rate dropped sharply to 8.6 percent last month, down from 9 percent in October. The rate hasn't been that low since March 2009, during the depths of the recession.

Still, 13.3 million Americans remain unemployed. And a key reason the unemployment rate fell so much was because roughly 315,000 people had given up looking for work and were no longer counted as unemployed.

Employers added 120,000 jobs last month. And the previous two months were revised up to show that 72,000 more jobs added – the fourth straight month the government revised prior months higher.

Private employers added a net gain of 140,000 jobs last month. Governments, meanwhile, shed another 20,000 jobs, mostly at the local and state level. Governments at all levels have shed almost a half-million jobs in the past year.

I'm not saying it'd help in an election, because I hold a very dim view of the general population's ability to understand what the federal government's role should be in a properly balanced free market.

There are some that simply cannot grasp the basic ideas of the market, and there are others - like yourself - that refuse to accept that a free market can work with minimal government intervention, preferring instead to put all their eggs into the federal government's basket.

What part of "I DON'T WANT THE PROFIT MOTIVE (free market) DICTATING MY HEALTH CARE" are you having trouble understanding? I don't want the insurance company telling my doctor what tests they can run; what medications they can prescribe; what treatments I can get. Yes... I'd RATHER have the government, i.e., a Medicare-like plan, letting me make those decisions with my doctor instead of some $10/hour flunky on the phone at the health-plan phone-bank, whose job it is to say 'no' as much as possible.

You want to talk about "death panels"?... Try Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Humana, ad nauseum... THERE are your "death panels."

Oh you don't like the insurance company "no" people- wait till you get the government "no" people on the phone.

It'll be a centralized "no" system then!

Yeah, whatever... We've already GOT death panels, thanks to "free enterprise"... It's already obvious that Medicare recipients get better care with less hassles. Medicare-for-everyone should have been what we did years ago. Let people buy-in at 50 or 55... Pay the co-pays until age-65... Works for me.
