Lowest labour force participation rate since September 1981.
This morning's jobs report for June was another abject, colossal,
unmitigated, catastrophic disaster for the American economy, the
millions of unemployed and underemployed, the college graduates hoping
to embark upon a glowing career path, families, whose homes are
underwater, and for one man, in particular, who has "focused like a
laser beam" on one job: his. That one man is President Barack Hussein
Obama.
It has long been a very open secret that the Enron-style number-fudging that Señora Solis is doing over at the Department of Labour would land any of us in the private sector right next toBernie Madoff R. Allen Stanford Jon Corzine.
At this rate, Hilda may need to spring Bernie from prison to accomplish
her one job mission -- well, other than the one creating hotlines for
illegal immigrants to call to learn about their "rights": Getting
Barack Obama reelected. Yep, only Corzine can create those kinds of
numbers.
Essentially, Obama is demanding Daniel Boulud turn cow patties into Araguani Chocolate Cremeux and that is "Ce n'est tout simplement pas possible. Comprendre?"

Another 368,000 Americans just VANISHED from the labour force last month. Poof! The number of Americans employed fell by 119,000.
Job reports for June and July were revised lower. The June count fell from 64,000 to 45,000, while July’s number came in at 141,000 from an originally reported 163,000.
January 2009: Not in labour force: 81,023 million
August 2009: Not in labour force: 88,921 million
The economy added 96,000 jobs, seasonally adjusted. -- about one-third of them
were in temporary services and another third in low-paying service and food jobs. Whoop-dee-doo!
When discouraged workers are added, the unemployment rate rises to 15.0%. When part-timers, who want full-time jobs, underemployed, jobseekers, discouraged, and dropouts are added to the U3, the real unemployment number is around 23.3%. If we keep the participation rate at the level it was when Obama took office, then unemployment (U-3) is 11.4%.

Hey! Did someone say "War on Women"??? I've got ya a "War on Women." Check it out:

"Our growth rate is measly [so what did you expect?]"
- Austan Goolsbee, former Obama economic adviser
Measly growth rate? Yeah, I guess you could call it that. **eyeroll** But, can we at least get it to hurry up so that we can get rid of this imbecile? Seriously. Who in their bloody mind would hire and expand with Black Jesus (h/t David Axelrod) as CEO of the country?
Among the major worker groups:
Nationally, the U-3 rate for whites was 6.3%, a decrease from 6.5% in July. The unemployment rate for adult white men dropped to 6.3% from 6.8% in July, for adult white women decreased from 7.4% in July to 6.9
% in August, and unemployment amongst white teenagers increased from, 21.5% to 22.8%.
Nationally, the U-3 rate for blacks is 14.5%, a decrease from 15.0% in July. The unemployment rate for adult black men dropped to 13.8% from 14.9 in July, unemployment rate for black women increased to 13.2% -- up from 12.7% in July, and black teenaged unemployment increased to 38.8% - up from 38.1% in July.
Nationally, the U-3 rate for Hispanics was 10.1% for August, a decrease from 10.3% in July. The unemployment rate for adult Hispanic men dropped to 8.1% from 8.2% in July, unemployment rate for Hispanic women decreased to 10.3% (10.5% in July), and the Hispanic teenage unemployment rate stands at 29.0%.
There were 2.116 million more workers suffering long-term unemployment of 27 weeks or more in August, 2012, than when Obama started “working to put the middle class back to work” in February, 2009.
02.09: 2.917 million
07.12: 5.033 million
That’s a 72.54% increase in the number of Americans, who have been unemployed for an average of 27 weeks or more.
BUT, the unemployment rate for government workers went from 5.6% in July, 2012, to 5.1% in August, 2012.
Good news, good news, good news! /s

Empty Suit - Stone
A teenager is trying not to show the real him
Mysterious guys are the coolest ones
Won't look at even the best friends in the eyes
Scared of a thought, they could see through
Many years later he still is just pretending
Hiding something he has never found
Locked up from inside and the key is thrown away
Stranger to himself, lost inside
Counting - years go by
Running - out of time
Shining - the shine will die
Fading - out of time
Black and white is all he sees,
Colours, they are missing
Life is sometimes shades of grey butColours he can never feel again
Behind the wall, thoughts of grey,
one change, mind's decay
Empty suit, built on ice, one crack, end of lies
The goal line was crossed before he even got to start
Never knew when the time was right
Tried to hurry in everyplace, but
never got there in time
Now it's too late, the show is sold out
The flame is about to fade inside his little vacuum
No one will give him a hand
No one will hear him through
Counting - years go by
Running - out of time
Shining - the shine will die
Fading - out of time
