100 Million Americans Out of Work: Media Touts Unemployment at 3.8%, Nope Try 21.5%!

The May unemployment numbers are out and like all the previous reports the media is not being honest with Americans as they praise these bs numbers.

First and foremost this is NOT a bash on Pres Trump. His economic policies are in the right direction unlike the previous administration's, who did everything possible to hurt the economy in the name of social justice. Trump even pointed out last August the UE numbers are not accurate...

This site is about telling the truth regardless of who is in the White House, that said...

SHAME ON EACH AND EVERY economist, financial expert, political pundit/ activist ranting and raving over "3.8%", when 18-20+ mos ago you ALL were ripping the last admin over the number of Americans out of work. The same millions unemployed during the obama admin remain unemployed now.

The real UE rate when calculated the old correct way is 21.5% NOT 3.8%. Those following this site on this issue know ShadowStats is cited as the source for this info. They are not cooking up the numbers, ShadowStats is simply taking the same BLS numbers reported today and calculating the UE rate the way it use to be done factoring EVERYONE into the rate.

Yes, 100M Americans remain out of work, when you factor in those on and off the books as well as Americans who have jumped on disability because their UE benefits ran out. As a matter of fact, those out of the labor force increased (170K Americans) between April and May, from 95.745 to 95.915.

Businesses are closing, large retail chains like Sears are closing stores, Toys R Us is gone, jobs are still being lost, as businesses close, even though this report cites new jobs created.

Let me explain to you all what's happening:

- ABC Co has been in business for 5 years and has 100 employees

- XYZ Co has been in business for the same time and has the same number of employees, BUT is hiring another employee, for total of 101.

- Employee 1 at ABC Co is applying and will be hired by XYZ to fill that new job opening. XYZ's "new employee" will be counted in the unemployment/ jobs number report as a "new job created".

- ABC Co will have a few options with the loss of their employee:
  · They will either hire someone (ALREADY employed) from another company but will not be considered a new job creation.
  · Hire someone on the books unemployed
  · NOT hire anyone to fill that empty role, instead promote from within or spread the absent workers duties out to other workers.

What the jobs report number is not including are those people no longer counted in the jobs report, who are not being hired. Yes, some people on unemployment are being hired to lower the rate, but the masses who have been unemployed for years remain jobless, and honestly written off by EVERYONE.

The report is bunk, most of the people getting jobs are those ALREADY employed, switching jobs or companies. Read it again and let it sink in, because many of you know people who are out of work, yet you're hearing all this wonderful economic news, even though job losses continue.

The millions unemployed during the obama years didn't all of sudden find jobs or disappear since Jan 20th 2017. WE (yours truly is extreme long term unemployed) are still here looking for work, but NO ONE will hire us because we have been unemployed too long. That's it, that's our sin for being unable to find work. WE WANT JOBS but recruiters, headhunters, hiring managers and the like who pass us over because we're unemployed too long continue to add to that unemployment gap. Making matters worse the next bunch of recruiters, headhunters, hiring managers will use the same excuse not to hire us resulting in a NASTY circle.

So yes, I say SHAME ON EACH AND EVERY economist, financial expert, political pundit and activist who ranted and raved over the millions unemployed during the obama years, but have now gone silent since a changing of the guard in the Oval Office.

This economy is still weak, we're still taking on massive debt, a lot of the red flags from years past are showing up again. The US economy is on life support, it will crash. You've been warned.

Do not take my word on any of this. I come to these conclusions because I do my homework listening to people who are ringing the warning bell. I suggest you start following:

Harry Dent
Danielle DiMartino
James Rickards
Peter Schiff
(There are many more but these people know what they're talking about.)

100 Million Americans Out of Work: The Media LIES, Trump Points Out Real Unemployment Remains High

 

While the media and many pundits do a victory dance over the newly released jobs report, claiming unemployment is at 4.3%, the fact of the matter remains millions of Americans are unemployed. Don't take my word for it, President Trump made that fact clear!

I want to get this fact out in the open first so there is no mistake or people take this post as a slam on Pres Trump. Yes, in the past similar unemployment pieces posted on this site were slams on obama, but that is because his policies and Congress' inaction contributed to the lack of job growth, actually they caused job loss!

This time around the blame is going directly on the do nothing, useless, inept, incompetent, impotent Congress. Let's be honest the President for the most, be it Trump or obama, really can't do much to stimulate economic growth. They depend on Congress to create legislation for them to sign into law. Obama's economic policies hurt industry, Trump is taking action to grown industry. Now for those of you in doubt about Congress being useless, here's a simple test: did they pass the obamacare repeal they promised? No. These people are not taking the legislative action necessary to spark the economy, create jobs and reverse the massive economic bubble that will burst.

Per the Bureau of Labor Statistics:
6.981 million Americans are on the books unemployed for July, UP 4000 since June
94.657 million Americans are out of the labor force... when you factor in those on disability (gaming the system because their US benefits have run out) and people completely written off (like yours truly) who aren't factored in, there are far more than 100M Americans out of work.

The actual unemployment rate is 22%, and has been that way for far too long. It is just 3% away from being where UE was during the Great Depression!



Sorry to be party pooper but nothing has really changed in the last 8 mos. It's impossible to go from "the economy is going to collapse" prior to Jan 20, 2017 to "the economy is rocking" Aug 4! All the economic turmoil we've been facing remains. The national debt continues to climb $19.9T, spending is out of control, student debt is $1.5T, people have no savings, we are still in that eye of the storm of the stealth depression we've been in since the experts claimed we're in a "recovery".



Again this is not bashing Trump, it's bashing everyone in DC who is ignoring a major problem coming that will dwarf 2008. "The Stock Market is making new highs"... uh huh, why? Who is buying the stock? Institutions for the most part(they're playing the numbers), investors who can afford to lose some money, companies buying their own stock back. Again most Americans have nothing in the bank, their barely making it, so they aren't the ones buying Amazon @ $987/sh and Apple @ $156/sh. "Well people are buying new cars", yea you know why? Banks and auto lenders are doing subprime loans on cars and trucks that are going into default! Same problem we saw with subprime home loans is about to happen in the auto industry!

Do not take my word on any of this. I come to these conclusions because I do my homework listening to people who are ringing the warning bell. I suggest you start following:

Jesse Columbo
Harry Dent
Danielle DiMartino

To those out there bragging about the "great" economy, cool it because you're going to eat your words when the bubble bursts.

Feds Say Jobs Rate Drops 4.9% as 425K Americans Have Left Labor Force

Another jobs report is out demonstrating time and again there is no recovery, no job or economic growth. None of the lies that comes out of this administration about the state of the US economy is good. Only the US govt could say the unemployment rate dropped to 4.9% from 5%, while reporting 425K people have left the labor force in the "same breath"!

Per the Bureau of Labor Statistics, this is the govts numbers. The same govt you know who cooks the books as it is to make things look good...

94,609,000 Americans aren't in labor force
+7,787,000 Americans are unemployed
=102,396,000 Americans out of work

To put those numbers into perspective...

94,609,000 NOT IN LABOR FORCE...
Population of:
Australia: 23 M
UK: 64 M
Switzerland: 8 M
Total: 95 M#JobsReport

... that's a lot of people looking for work! If you think this analysis is bs then answer this simple question: How can the unemployment rate remain around 4.9-5% while more people are out of work?

This BLS report proves the feds are misleading the public about the current true unemployment rate which is and has been holding at 22-23% for years. (When calculated correctly).



The UE rate is just shy of being at Great Depression era levels (25%), yet obama and Hillary Clinton are campaigning today praising the report!

These economic reports in fact show a stagnant economy in the eye of the storm of a stealth depression. When the markets finally give those in power will not be able to hide the truth we all know let alone stop the economic collapse. Are you aware the stock market has been dropping for 9 consecutive days, the longest in 36 years?!

The powers that be keep news like this quiet and have been lying to us for years if not decades as they prop up our economy with printed money and tweaked economic numbers.

Spend your money wisely America, buy what you need, buy things of quality because all that paper money is going to be worthless when the final bubble bursts!

100 Million Americans Out of Work: Unemployment Rate "Drops to 4.7%" as Record Number of Americans Remain Out of Labor Force

Saving the Republic

For the doubters out there let's get the math out of the way.
These numbers are based on the govts Bureau of Labor Statistics, STR didn't make them up!

94,708,000 Americans out of the labor force
+7,400,000 Americans on the books listed as unemployed
= 102,108,000 Americans out of work!

Now keep in mind this number doesn't include those who are using their disability insurance (at record levels) after their unemployment benefits ran out!

If the economy, according to obama, is in a recovery...



... and we've been saved from another depression then why are over 100 million Americans still out of work? Why did only 38,000 people find a job in May? Why are Americans bringing home less money now than they did 8 years ago? Obama just this week bragged about job creation and how well the US is doing but let's be honest those jobs "created and saved" are part-time jobs being filled by Americans who already have a full-time job or 1-2 part-time jobs because there is no full-time work available.

Now for that employment rate of 4.7% the imperial obama regime will brag about, it's a joke since another 450,000 left the workforce and were not factored in(as always). The true unemployment rate continues to hold at 23%...



FYI the highest the UE rate was during the Great Depression was 24.9% in 1933.

So why are people bringing home less and no full-time jobs available? I'll tell you why as I have been saying repeatedly here for years:

There is no economic recovery. We were not saved from an economic depression because we are in fact in the eye of a storm of a stealth depression that will get worse.

What nation in history has ever pulled itself out of a depression when it produces nothing? All the great economic scholars would laugh to hear a debtor nation whose economy is based on service is proclaimed by its leader to be in full recovery with less than 1% GDP growth for the quarter.

Spend your money wisely America. There is absolutely nothing saying we couldn't end up like Venezuela!

100 Million Americans Out of Work: Unemployment Rate Rises to "5%", 29K Manufacturing Jobs Lost

Another bogus jobs report is out claiming the unemployment rate has risen to "5%". This number like all the others touted by this destructive deceptive administration is wrong. When calculated properly taking into account all who are out of work the UE rate is and has been holding at 23% (depression era level)

IMG

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported:
93,482,000 Americans are not in labor force
8,000,000 Americans are officially on the books as unemployed
=101,482,000 Americans out of work. (this does not factor in those who are working the system going on disability (hit record levels), as their UE benefits have run out)

For you naysayers or those who will say "bullshit" STR did not make these numbers up they come from the same regime whom YOU cheer for claiming low unemployment. The US would have to be creating 400K new jobs each month for any dent to be made and show true economic growth. That is of course impossible for a nation that is no longer a manufacturing super power as the number of mfg jobs continues to decline with another 29,000 lost.

STR has been posting on this for quite sometime, it is like beating a dead horse. There is no economic recovery there never was. We are in the eye of the storm of a stealth depression where experts like Peter Schiff and Harry Dent are/ have been warning economic catastrophe is on the horizon which will dwarf the 1930's and the smack to the back of our heads in 2008.

Time and again I have cited how social entitlement programs have replaced the imagery of the Great Depression's unemployment and food lines. People remain just as down and out today as they were then. Yes, many are doing well today, just as many weathered the storm in the 1930's. Some people lost everything others got a nice wake up call, but you need to understand all these programs the govt has set up are unsustainable. The US is broke, the fed has been printing money to pay the bills making the US dollar worthless. It's just a matter of time until this all comes apart.

A nation built on service and retail establishments cannot survive in the the long term. We must become a manufacturing giant that we once were. The only way that happens is to get govt out of the way allow the free-market to operate as it once did. Get rid of the taxes, regulations, EPA standards that will allow companies to set up camp in the US vs outsourcing overseas to nations that use slave labor. No hitting product made overseas with tariffs will not solve the problem it will actually accelerate it and make the nightmare financial experts are warning about to happen sooner.

We have to innovate and unleash entrepreneurs to turn this country's economy around for any chance to survive economic disaster on the horizon. We're going to crash, the question is how hard will we hit!?

Sessions: Fed Stimulus Has Not Benefited Working Class

Sen Sessions continues to be one of the few voices in DC who speaks for the people. While others push regime propaganda and the lies that everything is sunshine and rainbows he provides a dose of reality!

The number of people out of the labor force will continue to increase because of failed economic policies from this administration and the actions coming out of the Fed. Yellen is practically parroting obama talking points. Jobs lost are not coming back for two reasons 1) the inevitable, technology gets better where people are being replaced through software and automation 2) companies hit hard over the last couple of years have had to learn how to run lean. It has worked for many in cutting costs by delegating duties of 10 to 5, so those jobs are gone...

The nation is not in a recovery because the Fed continues to pump money, literally printing/ digitizing obey out of thin air backed by NOTHING, into the economy while refusing to increase interest rates. Why? Because they know once they start increasing rates SHTF again! The money supply is out of control, devaluing the dollar next to nothing at this point and this is all done to prop up the economy to give the illusion of a recovery. What the Fed is doing to the economy is the equivalent of giving a dying patient a shot of adrenaline! They all know it too!

Until DC changes the tax laws, eases up on regulations, gets the EPA under control and tells the unions to shove it the availability of jobs will continue to dwindle because companies are going to continue to run lean, outsource operations overseas. When manufacturing returns to the US, when the nation once again becomes a producer instead of a servicer than jobs will come back. This isn't rocket science folks, it's Econ 101 that the majority in DC and definitely not the clown in the white house ever took class in!
