What is U3 or U6?

You guys talk in code?

I do know Obama inherited the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression.

Trump is inheriting a much better economy that he will probably destroy.

If that were true, as I originally posted, than why is the unemployment rate so low?

---

It's "low" becuase you have record out of work people who have dropped out of the workforce from not finding work. If we had a real 4.7% unemployment, our work force participation rate wouldn't be at historic lows instead it would at least be average.

Moreover, regulations increase jobs because companies have to hire people to help comply with those regulations

---

Increased regulations cost the company money that said company can't use for R&D, pay or invest.

It'seems not just that. They stopped counting people that just couldn't find work.

My wife was laid off and wouldn't have been counted as unemployed when she still couldn't find a job and her unemployment ran out. Of course if she would have went to work at Taco bell it would have lowered unemployment but we would have lost money in the process while Democrats cheered.

That is what idiots are cheering about with the calculations of this rate.

do you even U6 bro?


It took 8 years under Obama for the U3 to get to where it is.

Under any competent leadership it would have taken 2.

---

So you are saying that any competent president would have done better than Obama even though neither of the two candidates he beat even dreamed of getting unemployment as low as it is?

I like it better when the right is claiming the actual number is more like 40%.....

Add another ignorant person to the thread.

Yeah and why are kids staying in school longer?

Crystalline Silica Worker Safety Rule

There are countless regulation that are put in place that cost companies money that simply make no sense.

Add in DOJ under Obama going after website ADA compliance

Did you know that there are regulations that corporate websites have to be ADA compliant? No matter the content? Having a simple stock picture of 2 people having a conversation and not having a caption that there is a picture of two people having a conversation will get a company sued in this day and age.

Lawsuits do cost jobs.

Regulations is a meaningless talking point of the Right. They have been using the term for years as a means to undermime our own government.

I could not agree more.....you are absolutely correct and regulation should be very carefully considered and enacted.....but making blanket regulations, as has been done since the beginning of this country, is as insane as simply eliminating regulations in a blanket type fashion.

There is no doubt that there are too many regulations and that many of them are job killers and ridiculous. But there is also little doubt that there isn't need for more regulations in some areas....we need sensible regulation...all regulations should be reviewed regularly to determine their effectiveness and when they are harming an industry without helping anything they should be eliminated....and there are PLENTY of them which do just that....but simply eliminating any and all regulation because some are harmful is lazy....and, by the way, not something that even the Trump administration is proposing....but that is the message they are spreading because it plays well with the base....

Cutting a companies bottom line is how jobs are lost.

With regulations like the ADA one I provided. Cost to a company to update a website to add captions to images is over 10000. Cost to not update is way more in lawsuits.

Takes employees off of their revenue generating duties to resolve.

Hell we have to analyze our companies official colors as not to offend a fricking color blind person. That's how stupid this shite is.

Add enough stupid shite like this and it adds up until the bottom line is drastically cut and layoffs occur.

I am not arguing the point that there are stupid regulations. Hell four way stops are plenty of evidence....when the rest of world simply yields to traffic coming from the right (except for the fricking brits who have to be different). The costs associated with trucks coming to complete stops when there is no oncoming traffic millions of times a day in the US would boggle the mind....yet it is a regulation we pay no attention to whatsoever. Yes, stupid regulations are ridiculous....but that is not to say that all regulations are ridiculous as many on the right do.

SO what is the odds that someone in the industry you are talking about lobbied for the regulation you are talking about to solidify their position somehow? It happens all the time....
