The Raw Story | US economy bleeding jobs, unemployment at 5-year high

WASHINGTON (AFP) – The struggling US economy lost 159,000 jobs in September as the weight of the housing collapse and credit crunch hit a broad swath of industries, government data showed Friday.

The report, seen as one of the best indicators of economic momentum, showed a sharp rise in the number of cuts after 73,000 job losses in August.

"There is little doubt that the nation is in a recession, which will only deepen in coming months, as the financial crisis casts a pall on economic activity," said Sophia Koropeckyj at Economy.com.

And what does Bush have to say?

"The fundamentals of the economy are strong."

Let's take a look at the republicans and national debt:



Does anyone doubt that republicans are bad for the country? That Bush is bad for the economy and he's lying about the reports?

What does this have to do with the price of tea in china? Are you trying to stay that wages = the price of the stock market?



Rant and rave all you like, I don't like the bailout. But I am sure as hell, you'll find a way to blame President Bush if the Sun decided to burn out.

It is inaccurate to say that I hate everything. I am strongly in favor of common sense, common honesty, and common decency. This makes me forever ineligible for public office.

Again with the monumental ignorance. The Chinese Yuan is fixed. If they let it float America would face a tidal wave of inflation.

Nope, as I CLEARLY stated, wages, as adjusted for inflation, and CONTRARY to your claims, did not go up.

I'm beginning to feel sorry for you...

LMAO, you don't get out much do you? What does the price of tea in China is a phrase that means what you are talking about doesn't matter to this discussion.

BTW, the Chinese removed the final peg to the US dollar last month. The Chinese have floated the yuan since 2005. There was no "Tidal Wave" of inflation as you call it.

No, Europe is not a continent anymore. Its a Union. It's called the European Union, uses the Euro, has a Parliament which meets in Brussels and Strausbourg. It has a single market economy.

So if we use your ability to take member states of the EU and say they have this unemployment rate. I think we can do by State in the United States right?

We'll get to those numbers in a minute.




So lets use the Eurostat. Even in their report they group all the member states of the European Union into 1 to compare it to the US. You can read the report here.

But you don't want to do it. So lets look at some of 50 states in the United States ( a Union)..

South Dakota 2.8%
North Dakota 3.2%
Utah 3.2%
Wyoming 3.2%
Nebraska 3.3%
Hawaii 3.8%
Idaho 3.8%


Here you go.

Wonder if you game the stats still?

Inflation has every bit to do with wages.

BEIJING, Oct 2 {2008}(Reuters) - China will ease monetary policy through the end of next year to support growth in the face of a global slowdown, lowering interest rates and slowing the pace of yuan appreciation, a Reuters poll showed on Thursday.
