This Table of Data, which breaks down the numerical changes in the key figures.

I will refer to this set of data as Table JSF-URF-6

I will post some actual numbers and let the comparisons and discussion follow.

The BLS uses both Seasonally Adjusted figures and Unadjusted figures, and interchanges them without clearly identifying so. I will use only the Unadjusted numbers, to help maintain clarity and transparency.

Some numbers may have a 0 placed as first digit, to maintain column form in this format.


The 1st column is Labor Force minus both Unemployed and Involuntary Part-Time. This is also Employed minus Involuntary Part-Time. This is not a figure identified by BLS, so I will call it Actually Fully Employed. This is Employed Full-time plus Voluntary Part-Time.

Not listed, but Civilian noninstitutional Population minus Actually Fully Employed is also a figure avoided by BLS, and I will call it Not Fully Employed, which is Unemployed plus Involuntary Part-Time plus Marginally Attached plus Not In Labor Force. The 2nd column is Not Fully Employed Rate, which is divided by Civilian noninstitutional Population.

The 3rd column is the Civilian Population. 4th column is Labor Force, 5th column is Participation Rate.

After the separation bar, the 7th column is the Increase in Civilian Population from the previous entry. For the entries by year, this is the 12 month Increase. For the entries broken down by month, this is the 1 month Increase.
The 8th column is the Increase in Labor Force from the previous entry.
The 9th column is the Increase in Actually Fully Employed count, from the previous entry.

In the monthly breakdown for 2018, after the second separation bar, the 10th column is the Civilian Population Increase from the entry 12 months prior.
The 11th column is the Labor Force Increase from the entry 12 months prior.
The 12th column is the Actually Fully Employed Increase from the entry 12 months prior.
The 13th column is the amount that the 12th column exceeds the 10th column, or the amount of Unemployed that is being chipped away, despite manipulation of other figures.

Figures in thousands.

You seem to be forgetting that this is what you wanted.

You voted for Obamination so that he would ship all good jobs overseas.
You thought jobs and the economy were not important things to influence your vote.

Tards like you voted for Obamination because you did not want good jobs to be in America.
You wanted high unemployment.
You wanted record numbers on government subsistence.

You got exactly what you wanted and voted for, so stop your whining while we have somebody doing something to improve the situation.




Seriously. This is the second time in as many days that I'm asking if you are on drugs. Maybe some Bidenesque dementia is setting in?

Did you take a vacation from the RWED and come back and forget who everybody was?

You obviously have no idea who you're talking to right now.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

Well, the figures released on Friday were quite impressive.

It should be noted that this was 3 days after The State of The Union address, so Trump did not have this data to report.


From my Table 1, the unemployed count was the lowest January since these calculations were created in 1994, except for Jan 2000. The percent is the lowest ever.
The Want A Job count is the lowest Jan figure since 2008. The percent is the lowest since 2007 (before the Rock-The-Vote Democraps took over to begin their recession).
The subtotal of these counts was the lowest of all years except 1999, 2000, 2001. The percent was the lowest ever.
Involuntary Part-Time count was the lowest since Jan 2006, the percent the lowest except for 1999, 2000, 2001.
Total copunt for these is lowest since 2001, and percent is lowest ever, and below 10% for the first time ever.
Labor Participation Rate is the highest Jan since 2013.
U-6 is the lowest Jan since it was created.

From Table 2, comparing all Januaries since these formulas were created in 1994:
Marginally Attached raw count is lowest of all years except 1999, 2000, 2001. The percent is the lowest.
The subtotal of Unemployed plus Marginally Attached is lowest raw count of all years except 1999, 2000, 2001. The percent is lower than any other January.
The Total of Unemp, MA, and Inv PT is the lowest of all years except 1999, 2000, 2001. The percent is the lowest of any year.

From Table 3, comparing all Januaries again:
The Total of Unemployed plus Involuntary PT is the lowest of all years except 1999, 2000, 2001.
The Not Fully Employed percent is the lowest since Jan 2008.

Since Jan 2017, Civ Pop has increased 5.42 Million, while Labor Force has increased over 4.8 Million - but Actually Fully Employed has increased almost 8 Million.

From Table 6, the gain in the Actually Fully Employed more than the Civ Pop during the prior 12 months is the highest of any year since 1994, and also the highest of any of the past 25 months, at least.

I've been missing the weekly Thursday data. But I did run across mention of the record Low mark of 162,000 in November of 1968.

Updating with Thursday's report data:

Jobless Claims.

Apparently the 209,000 reported on 26 April 2018 was the lowest since 1969. And the 210,000 on 1 March was too.

I've been missing the weekly Thursday data. But I did run across mention of the record Low mark of 162,000 in November of 1968.

Updating with Thursday's report data:

Jobless Claims.

Apparently the 209,000 reported on 26 April 2018 was the lowest since 1969. And the 210,000 on 1 March was too.

I will refer to this set of data as Table JSF-URF-1

Jan 2002 is listed twice. First with original report data from February 2002. Second with revised data from new Census data, published in February 2003.

BLS currently defines the Want A Job category as not being part of the Labor Force.

So I will post some actual numbers and let the comparisons and discussion follow. The documented shenanigans of Obamabots deliberately refusing to Report jobless data in the months before the 2012 Election are a different matter, I will just use the Fake Data they produced and pretend it was real.

I will use only the Unadjusted numbers, to help maintain clarity and transparency.
