If you would like to debate, feel free to do so. This blog encourages you to do so. Having nothing to back up your opinion but your own opinion is certainly not a viable debating technique.Paul R Laubhanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11997600681402287551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5912833783359356343.post-63662729300567225422013-05-05T11:49:43.697-05:002013-05-05T11:49:43.697-05:00Gotta hand it to you Anonymous, you have taken two...Gotta hand it to you Anonymous, you have taken two entirely different metrics, and compared them. Job Growth leads to employment, period. Full Stop. Unemployment is growth in the labor force, or as you put it, "work eligible people."<br />I am not about to quibble with your numbers, I don't have the data at hand. BUT--I will call you out on your apparent mental disconnect. Without job growth the number of "work eligible people" not earning a paycheck would be multiple millions higher.

In addition, a glib tongue and excellent grammar is such a blessing! I would suggest that the poster do some research on what Marxism is by definition before accusing anyone on the left of being in the grasp of corporatism. Accusing the left of "Marxism" is a "Miss-Marple-ism" - "a suppository of misinformation."oldchazmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15015384530910669534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5912833783359356343.post-33089894723808286632013-05-05T11:01:44.003-05:002013-05-05T11:01:44.003-05:00When some one disagrees childishness and insecurit...When some one disagrees childishness and insecurity show when you say "Die you brainwashed Marxist" how PATHETICAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5912833783359356343.post-43211575844437035592013-02-08T15:10:11.186-06:002013-02-08T15:10:11.186-06:00Another soul who has been brainwashed by the right...Another soul who has been brainwashed by the right wing. <br /><br />First of all, THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO EVIDENCE that people have left the labor force because "they gave up looking for work" or "they can't find jobs". Most people who have left the labor force have done so because they are retiring. And, in recent years, the number of people ENTERING the labor force has exceeded the number of people going from "unemployed" to "not in the labor force" by quite a bit. <br /><br />Try reading here: <a href="http://mollysmiddleamerica.blogspot.com/2013/02/labor-force-participation-truth-lies.html" rel="nofollow"> Labor force participation: Separating the Truth from the Lies </a> <br /><br />.

Since these people who drop out of the workforce are no longer included in the unemployment numbers, it has dropped from a high of 10.6% to 7.9% now. That's not positive territory at all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
