 This continues to be the longest streak — 41 months — of unemployment of 8% or higher since the Great Depression. And recall that back in 2009, Team Obama predicted that if Congress passed its $800 billion stimulus plan, the unemployment rate would be around 5.6% today. |

the same people now 'predicting' what 'would have' been the recovery rate without any action are the same ones who 'predicted' where the plan would lead then,,,,,werent they?
seems people should stay out of the fortunetelling business, and stick to documented FIGURES..... |

To summarize: 108.616 million people in America are either unemployed, underemployed or "Not in the labor force". This represents 45.5% of working age Americans.
Not in the labor force (NILF). A person who did not work last week, was not temporarily absent from a job, did not actively look for work in the previous 4 weeks, or looked but was unavailable for work during the reference week; in other words, a person who was neither employed nor unemployed." Clearly, this does include lot of unemployed people. |

first time I remember media covering such a demographic,,,, but, in any case the economy has a way to go no doubt Obviously, as stated above, we have not had unemployment over 8% for this long since the depression. This isn't some 3 month dip.. You give the media 41 months to project bad news they will do it 12 ways from sunday. Its a good thing most of the MSM is in Obama's pocket or these other numbers would be plastered on the front page of every newspaper from now until the election. |

This unemployment rate of up to 20% is the new "full" employment rate now since we shipped millions of jobs overseas. Get used to it.

labor participation rate...
New monthly unemployment numbers are due to be released Friday for June, but growing evidence suggests the official jobless rate doesn’t tell the real story. Most attention will focus on what the Department of Labor calls its U3, or official, unemployment number. That currently is 8.2 percent, up from 8.1 percent in April. Another key number is the U6 rate, which also includes the “underemployed,” people working part-time but who want full-time work. That stands at 14.8 percent, up from 14.5 percent. Yet economists point out that both numbers are being skewed by another factor: More people are simply dropping out of the labor market. The labor participation rate fell to 63.6 percent in April, the worst since 1981, and the number of people out of the labor force is a record 88.4 million. If the participation rate were the same as January 2009, experts say, today's U3 jobless rate would be 11 percent. |

One out of seven? Spin, spin, spin.  |

One of the most striking features of home finance in the 1990s was the rapid growth of subprime lending. The term “subprime” typically refers to loans made to borrowers with impaired or limited credit histories or those who have high ratios of debt to income. To offset the higher risks associated with these loans, borrowers are charged higher interest rates and possibly also higher up-front fees. From 1993 to 1998, the number of subprime refinance loans reported under the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) increased tenfold, from 80,000 subprime refinance loans in 1993 to 790,000 in 1998. In 1994, the $35 billion in subprime mortgages represented less than 5 percent of all mortgage originations. By 1999, subprime lending had increased to $160 billion—almost 13 percent of the mortgage origination market. http://www.huduser.org/publications/pdf/brd/12Bunce.pdf Your boy Clinton and his changes to the CRA. |
