    why stop? I refuted your argument. Youtube videos don't alter reality. I gave you the congressional record showing republicans killed every single bill. again, the data is against you.

    Sure I can! Question, when you created your account here in 2014 did you praise Mr. Obatard on his economy, GDP and employment numbers :) ¯\_(º¸º)_/¯

    I'm guessing that will be a yes, and it was one of the happiest times in your life LMFAO..

    back when trump said unemployment was like 40%? He’d have to create millions of jobs a month to get that down to 3. So was he lying then or he is lying now?

    I proved your argument wrong, lol.



    again, a youtube video does not alter reality. Republicans were directly responsible for the crash, as I proved. The date is once again, as usual, against you.

    Anyone can make a graph. Official numbers don't lie.

    I gave you the official numbers, lol. The graph is from the BLS. That is the official source for labor statistics. You lose.

    Obamas official source which only tells part of the story. As Paul Harvey said here's the rest of the story.

    "Fast forward 6 years, when a report by Harvard and Princeton economists Lawrence Katz and Alan Krueger, confirms exactly what we warned. In their study, the duo show that from 2005 to 2015, the proportion of Americans workers engaged in what they refer to as “alternative work” soared during the Obama era, from 10.7% in 2005 to 15.8% in 2015. Alternative, or "gig" work is defined as "temporary help agency workers, on-call workers, contract company workers, independent contractors or freelancers", and is generally unsteady, without a fixed paycheck and with virtually no benefits.

    The two economists also found that each of the common types of alternative work increased from 2005 to 2015—with the largest changes in the number of independent contractors and workers provided by contract firms, such as janitors that work full-time at a particular office, but are paid by a janitorial services firm.

    So, Trump inherited Obama's downward trend as evidenced by your own graph.

    2015 was lower than 2014. 2016 was lower than 2015. LMFAO!

    I quoted YOUR cite, the BLS that this report does NOT include the Household Data.

    - December - January changes in household data are not shown due to the introduction of updated population controls.

    And you are comparing total population to non-farm payrolls, the standard number and your own cite shows private sector employment went UP.

    He was an EXTREMELY powerful member of Congress and the go to expert for both sides when it came to FANNIE and FREDDIE. The GOP/BUSH killed a Democrat bill that did not go far enough and would have only exacerbate the problem, just because a bill is a bill does not make the the proper solution to a problem.

    I'm sorry but the official BLS data proves you wrong. Your opinion pieces do not change the data.

    Your graph as graphs so often do only tells a small part of a big story

    Once again, GDP rate no better now than it was during Obama's time. So these new jobs must be really rubbish

    First of all, notice how they hide the actual source of the FAKE report, the radical Right-wing RAND think tank and try to make it seem like it came from Harvard and Princeton, it didn't!!!
    And as I posted earlier, they walked back their own FAKE "study" when the BLS released the real data in 2017 which showed that gig, and alternative jobs went DOWN from the last survey!!!!!
    https://www.bls.gov/news.release/conemp.nr0.htm
    CONTINGENT AND ALTERNATIVE EMPLOYMENT ARRANGEMENTS -- MAY 2017

    In May 2017, 3.8 percent of workers--5.9 million persons--held contingent jobs, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. These contingent workers are persons who do not expect their jobs to last or who report that their jobs are temporary. Using three different measures, contingent workers accounted for 1.3 percent to 3.8 percent of total employment in May 2017. (See tables A and 1.) In February 2005, the last time the survey was conducted, all three measures were higher, ranging from 1.8 percent to 4.1 percent of employment.

    https://www.cnn.com/2019/01/07/economy/gig-economy-katz-krueger/index.html
    There are fewer gig jobs than you think. Economists walk back study that showed huge increase
    Now the authors of that study — Alan Krueger of Princeton University and Larry Katz of Harvard — have walked back its conclusions. Their new study, released Monday, shows the challenge of figuring out how much Uber-type jobs have changed the landscape of American work.

    Katz and Krueger's 2016 paper, based on data collected with the RAND Corporation, attempted to replicate the US Bureau of Labor Statistics' 2005 contingent worker supplement.

    unknown. The weather was unseasonably warm but I don't think the algorithm used to weight the has been a constant year to year. Having said that, the ten year monthly job numbers have been 210-250 k/month increases. It's been a helluva ride and investors have done great. Glad to keep it going. My kids are getting rich(er).
