The USA has a net population increase of 1 person every 11 seconds. That also means a similar number of people achieve working age at the same rate (added to migrant influx, also included in the net population increase calculation). These would all be people entering the workforce, or eligible to enter the workforce. 60 seconds times 60 minutes times 24 hours times 365 days = 31,536,000 seconds a year. Divide that by 11 and you have 2,866,909 new entries into the nation's workforce every year. If nobody retired or quit working for any reason, a sluggish economy creating 14 million jobs over 7 years would fall short of 20,068,634 needed just to keep up with new people entering the workforce. Given that people do retire, are fired, quit working due to injury or death, your 14 million job economy number is absolutely pathetic. It shows an economic decline that is being promoted as positive by people who don't have a clue.
It's hard to turn around a train when it's going over a cliff. The Great Recession resulted in 800,000 jobs being lost every month in 2009. I guess that was Obama's fault too.

I wonder how orme feels about the three million jobs that were created under the previous administration? If fourteen million is weak, three million must be almost criminal.

Mitt Romney's economic promise in 2012 was to bring unemployment under 6% and that was good enough to earn Bob Orme's vote. Seems like any Romney voter with an ounce of shame would avoid that metric to judge Obama who has surpassed Republican's employment goals.

It kinda reminds me of people who criticize Obamacare while voting for Republicans who architected it. Whoops! Actually they're the same people.

I think I'm gonna buy another 100 shares Monday.

I post real world numbers about what is needed to break even on job growth WITHOUT including people who retire, die, or exit the workforce due to other reasons, and the left (you, Bruce) deflects and obfuscates.

Øbama's claim of 14 million new jobs created under his administration STARTS in February 2010, NOT 2009.
Obama and jobs
Even if the pathetic job growth claims included 2009, I can't find any source that backs up your claim that 800,000 jobs were lost every month in 2009. Making up shit again, Bruce. ...and what about the American Recovery and Reinvestment act of 2009? Almost $1Trillion in stimulus money tossed at "shovel-ready" jobs, passed by both Democrat controlled houses of Congress and signed into law by Øbama in February 2009? Did that legislation and spending result in 800,000 jobs being lost every month in 2009 (your bullshit number), and was that also Bush and the Republican's fault?

Is Øbama responsible for ANYTHING negative that has happened while he has been in office? Or, is every negative thing that has happened been someone else's fault? That would forever officially make him President Erkle.

I suspect you will choose one or two sentences to respond to and ignore everything else I wrote, but that's what you do.

Who wrote the actual ACA? How many Republicans VOTED FOR IT?

...I can't find any source that backs up your claim that 800,000 jobs were lost every month in 2009...
You are right and I was wrong to say "every month." 803,000 jobs were lost the month Obama was elected. About 800,000 jobs were lost the month he was inaugurated and then again the following March, and about 700,000 jobs were lost in February and April of 2009. It went down from there for the rest of the year.

Just goes to show that recovering from a Republican presidency can be hard.

forky continues to hang his obama economic success story hat on the few million part time jobs created under his watch. However the rest of his economic record is that of failure. clinton wants to double down on it

1- lowest GDP growth in 80 years; 8 year average at 1.5%
2- lowest adult participation rate in 40 years
3- u6 rate at almost 10%
4- declining household income
5- 40m on food stamps
6- near doubling of the deficit

8 year average? Well that lie just pops right out doesn't it? Most of 2009 was Bush's budget and Bush's tax rates.

Also, January 19, 2009.

As you frequently remind everyone, obama became president on Jan 19, 2009.

How about the last 3 quarters & 4 of the last 6, where we have had a 1.0% GDP
