Great 12, million jobs, the working age population grew by over 13 million people. Hence the 37 year record low Labor participation rate. In Feb of 2014 it was 63.0, Feb of 2015 it’s 62.8 Congratulations on your admitted failure

Has a lot to do with the retirement of baby-boomers.

Thank You Mr. President.

Yes, thank you Mr. President. Black unemployment is twice the national average. Along with that we have 92 million people not working and 56 million women not in the labor force. But of course continuing to let in millions of low skilled illegals into the country is the right thing to do. Yes, thanks again Mr. President.

John, please help. I lurk in right wing blogs and I am getting confused.
I go to some right wing blogs and they say that there are plenty of jobs. but black unemployment is high because we are all lazy and shiftless vagrants who quit school and made 5 women pregnant.
But others like you say that the black unemployment rate is high because of the abject failures of this President.
So if you could tell me which of these talking points is accurate in your opinion, I would appreciate it.
I need to recalibrate my bullsh*t detector. I tried it on your 92million not working and 56million women statistics, and it blew a fuse.

Blame the salary cap in pro sports.

in any case, I did not hear you conservatives complaining about the black unemployment rate being higher than the national average when a Republican was in office.
many thanks for yet another clear illustration of right wing lies and hypocrisy.

Not that facts or reality matter to you Obama-haters, but here are the facts anyway. It is uncanny how no matter what you post in this forum, it is never a true representation of what is actually happening.

The baby boomers’ exit from the prime-aged workforce
and their movement into older age groups
will lower the overall labor force participation rate,
leading to a slowdown in the growth of the labor force

And you guy have obstructed anything that would remedy that.
In the 42-year period during which the Bureau of Labor Statistics has separated out unemployment data into different races, black unemployment has always been higher than white unemployment.
It was highest in 1989.
Since 2007, before the recession, “the percentage of blacks in the labor force (employed or actively seeking work) has fallen by less than the comparable figure for whites (a 2.8 percentage-point decline versus a 3.3 percentage-point fall).”
Together these two data points indicate that when black Americans lose their jobs, they stick to their job search for longer than white Americans, inflating the black unemployment rate relative to white’s.

Before I could reply, Lefty and Arc have responded with actual facts and links.
I suggest you click on them and read.
Facts do matter. In fact facts matter a lot more than your completely unsupported, and unsubstantiated bumper sticker phrases.

POTUS Obama’s12 Million Private Jobs created in 5 Years is +1,200% better than GWB’s 1.08 M eight year total. “Bush on Jobs: Worst Track Record on Record”-WSJ 1/09/2009 2nd Worst is GHWB Sr’s 2.5 M four year total.
No wonder nobody wants another bush fire burning down USA’s record $17.5 T record GDP growing +5.4%, up from Q4-2008 $12.7 T shrinking -9% APR GDP. Jeb / Cheney’16~ leave no billionaire behind went bust.
