Failure, in one chart

[K-S-U-Wildcats!]

Seems like looking at job growth net of population growth is pretty fair and relevant.

Does that graph adjust for the antiquation of job fields as a result of technological advances far outpacing the creation of jobs from technological advances?

Give me those numbers and we'll see if we can adjust the chart.

So are you suggesting that that effect - advances in technology reducing jobs - has occurred to a much greater extent in this past 5 years as opposed to the 80s? Seems like that is more of a constant factor. Maybe we're shipping more jobs overseas recently, but that's still an indirect indictment of the administration's policies (taxes, wages, regulations, etc.).

I don't know if it is happening more now, more then or if it was more in the 1910's. 

I do believe that as machines/technology/etc eliminate the need to pay humans for jobs to produce goods for other people, it naturally eliminates a working lower-middle class.  This seems to me to be a real problem.

Ok, but the the benefit/harm of more efficient technology replacing less efficient labor is a different issue. The point remains that Obama's "recovery" isn't a recovery at all with respect to jobs, and this is highlighted by comparing it to the real jobs recovery that occurred under Reagan.

To your issue, I think greater efficiency is probably a net positive. But keep in mind that "the working lower-middle class" isn't just being replaced by greater efficiency - they're being replaced by cheaper labor, both here illegally and overseas.

Ran across this while googling unemployment.

There are about 81 million families in the US with a child under 18.
16 million of them do not have an employed member of the family.

[Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)]

Did someone actually try and compare Obama's economic quagmire with the robust economic growth under Reagan??? I'm trying to figure why a graph like that would ever be necessary to demonstrate such an obvious point, but then I saw the asinine rationalization offered by the libtards and wondered if maybe someone had.

does this chart control for massive lib using government to create thousands of jobs by using the milking power of the government tit?

This one really brought out the deflectors.

Normally I don't expect to get comments with my posts, but I really expected an or two from this one.

when i was young, my mom taught me that "wuss" (or "wussy") was a portmanteau of "wimp" and "the p-word"

in my present-day research, i can find no etymological basis for her claims.
