How about that some actually FOUND work already?

I know three people personally who got great new jobs, one of them paying close to $200000.

The economy is not going down. It is not happening. Obama's second term will see amazing growth.

If anyone was wondering, this AP/ABC News article confirms what I just said.

Way to go, Team Obummer! After failing on Healthcare, what you've done to American workers could be your legacy!

More Americans have stopped looking for work. Democrats spin that as success.
 

Job Market Under Obama: It Depends How You Spin It

By CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER AP Economics Writer
WASHINGTON May 4, 2012 (AP)


U.S. employers pulled back on hiring in April for the second straight month, evidence of an economy still growing only sluggishly. The unemployment rate dipped, but only because more people gave up looking for work.

The Labor Department said Friday that the economy added just 115,000 jobs in April. That's below March's upwardly revised 154,000 jobs and far fewer than the pace earlier this year.

The unemployment rate dropped to 8.1 percent last month from 8.2 percent in March. It's fallen a full percentage point since August to a three-year low. But last month's rate decline wasn't due to job growth. The government counts people as unemployed only if they're actively looking for work.

In April, the percentage of adults working or looking for work fell to the lowest level in more than 30 years. Many have become discouraged about their prospects.
