OK, Democrats, just gonna tell ya three reasons why you dont even need to bother checking out the data from this source. 1. Its filled with data (not opinions, data) about the effects of Progressive policies from 2007 to Present. 2. The data comes from that dreaded source, The Heritage Foundation. 3. FOX NEWS reported it. So, ya know. Just blow it off. :D Lets just say that, in the words of the Democrat excusing Media, Economic developments have been... unexpected. HA! Unexpected, unless you were a nonpartisan economist, Republican or Conservative. From the article... ~ One of the misleading headlines from last months employment report was that all the jobs lost during the recession have finally been won back. Well, not really. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), in 2007 on the eve of the recession, there were 146.6 million Americans working. Today, there are 145.8 million Americans in jobs. So nearly 7 years later, we are still 800,000 jobs below the previous peak. That’s some jobs recovery. But the missing jobs in this economic recovery are much higher than that. A new analysis of the labor force numbers by Heritage Foundation economists places the real jobs deficit in America closer to 5.5 million, even after accounting for changes in population and demographics. ~ ~ Since the peak of the last recovery in 2007, the labor force participation rate (the percentage of the population either employed or actively seeking employment) has fallen by more than three percentage points (7.9 million people) to 62.8%. ~ ~ A summary of these statistics reveals a startling pattern. Of 9 age demographics analyzed, labor force participation declined in the 7 youngest brackets and increased in the 2 oldest brackets. ~ I bet I know what would fix this. :D - Lets give tax payer debt guaranteed loans to Democrat cronies fronting phony Green Energy Companies. - Lets find reasons to give Federal money to Democrat crony Community Action organizations. - Lets drive up the costs of employing people. (So many ways to do that). - Lets artificially drive up Minimum Wage through Federal mandate creating meritless pay raises. - Lets have a massive infusion of Illegal Immigrants into the workforce. :D Democrats, whatchya say? -Strayer nation.foxnews/2014/06/25/mr-president-where-are-our-5-million-missing-jobs
