If unemployment went down, and jobs did as well, then that simply means that the.2% who dropped off unemployment did so without finding a job. Their unemployment payments simply ran out.

Cahoots is wrong. And the unemployment rate and the job losses come from two different sources.
They often times are at odds. Usually the culprit is more people starting to seek or not seek jobs, and thus changing the denominator.

The BLS report and my summary basically blame the losses on the hurricanes, snowflake. I didn't even mention Trump or Reublicans lol.

Snowflake? You called out the least impactful part of the entire report, which was extensive. Sorry calling out your shitty "summary" got you all hot and bothered. Let me summarize Troy's weekend: Defense gives up 21 points, big plays, opponent's ranking revised down.

The aberrations, as you call it, started back in 2009 with interpreting unemployment rates that had never been interpreted like that before.
where did this persistent lie originate?

My guess is that without the bogus disability claims we all know happened from 2008-2015 the UE rate would have been double what it was.
Obama didn't play with the unemployment numbers - that's just a Republican wives' tale. The unemployment numbers under Obama were figured the same way they always were.
As far as disability claims, the standards for disability were the same under Obama as they were under Bush. Obama didn't change the standards - that's another Repub wives' tale.
Disability claims alway go up during recessions, since the out of work are searching for other means of support. Yes, disability claims went up during the 2009-10 recession, but that increase was exacerbated by severity and length of the recession, and the fact that American workers were aging, and therefore more susceptible to conditions that would qualify them for disability.

yeah right. insisting on using the u6 number isn't kool aid? ceteris parabis, the numbers since trump was elected have been better. ftr, i don't think a president is solely responsible for these numbers. however, a president can create a climate for these numbers to be better or worse.
