Unemployment rate is unchanged from last month. What's the point of your question? Sorry, I'm not able to read your mind to figure out what you're trying to point out with your question.

You might want to go play in the meatloaf thread.

4% unemployment is considered "full employment" because that is the traditional percentage of people changing jobs at any given moment.

So, I wonder what the new direction will be.

I wouldn't have to ask the grand poobah to clarify his point if he didn't write such vague posts and assume everyone knows what he refers to.

It would be interesting to see how many new jobs have been created and filled by people who became unemployed and are now working jobs that have provided them with reduced earnings and benefits.

Of course then liars couldn't lie and idiots couldn't swallow their bullshit hook line and sinker.

God Bless America

Don't employment statisitcs increase in December because of temporary hiring for the holiday season? Where is that meatloaf thread? That's a fine American food product.

That's what happens when hard workers like yourself go to the office and hide in the bathroom all day.
