Hoot Gibson Wrote:Yes - if you want to support Obama and avoid inadvertently running into the truth, then you stick to the official Obama campaign website for all of your "facts." Even Obama friendly websites like Think Progress cannot avoid letting the bad news that is the Obama economic record seep out once in awhile. There are very few safe places to hide if you are an Obama cheerleader.Show the chart from the government website you listed. And, even if you on a slight chance might be right, have you ever considered the "baby boomers" retiring at this point in time? And, on your chart, private sector jobs are on the increase since Feb. 10.
As the chart below, which appears in the Think Progress website, shows, the number of people who are working in the private sector today barely exceeds the number who were employed when Obama took office. The total number of people who are employed, including those in the public sector, has actually decreased significantly.
This is from the same page your chart comes from,
Quote:As of April, there are now more private sector jobs in the United States than there were in January 2009, when President Obama took office. You read that right. We have now replaced all of the private sector jobs lost while Obama has been president. And that was no mean feat, given that over the course of 2009, the private sector shed about 4.2 million jobs.You are worried about jobs, yet your kind want to cut monies to public sector employment. Funny stuff. The only sector not recovering is the sector that you all try to kill.
Unfortunately, the news is not nearly so good when it comes to the public sector, where there are currently 607,000 fewer people working than there were when President Obama took office.
The chart below tells the whole story. Under President Obama, the private sector has experienced a relatively robust recovery, and is now back to where it started when he took office. The public sector continues to shed jobs, and as a result, the overall jobs picture in the US remains weak. If you want to understand why conservative efforts to slash funding for teachers, firefighters, cops is bad for the economy, look no further than this graph.
