just imagine how must better it could be if we didnt have the right rooting against success

243,000 does not lower the rate. Obama's failed policies have discouraged the unemployed so much another million stopped looking for work. Thank you Obama for dividing the country and taking away the hope of finding work

Obama discouraged the unemployed back in early 2000s when the trend started?

And as far as higher now, the Obamatoids need to learn the difference between because of an in spite of.

LOL -- and when it's at 350,000 Bluesguy will tell us it needs to be 450,000.

Job growth over about 125,000 puts us ahead of population growth, as many of our conservative friends here have pointed out.

"We can all see" that the trend took a huge nosedive during Obama's Presidency.

But it will undoubtedly go unreported as to HOW the Unemployment
number dropped { all estimates were it wouldn't move 8.5% }
and that yes,indeed the bandied about conspiracy du jour of last
month was ... Gee I wonder how Obama could get the Unemployment
number DOWN. Why ... he'd have to somehow manage to significantly
CRUSH the labor force to a participation rate of near 55%.
Exactly what Dr.Obama Alinsky prescribed.
That rate this month was 63.7% ,a 30 year low.
Who said Obama couldn't effect the Tides.
Or the Foundation.

Please, enlighten us Bluesguy about what these numbers mean.

The number of people not in the labor force increased by 7.5 million while Bush was president. What in your view does that tell us about his job creation and the unemployment record under Bush?

Obama has continued it and increased the trend. Obama has done nothing to fix the problem

The labor force increased 500,000 last month.

Yet 243,000 will not drop the unemployment rate. The rate dropped because over a million are so discouraged they stopped looking. They are still unemployed so the 8.3% is a false percentage
