Unemployment Unchanged as Zero U.S. Jobs Created in August Amid Political Posturing, Inaction, Policy Failures
While private companies add 17,000 jobs in August, those meager gains were cancelled by the loss of 17,000 government jobs in August, meaning the unemployment crisis continued. Zero, zilch, nil, no jobs were created during another month of inaction, which saw the U.S, Congress take an extended paid vacation as the U.S. economy limped along with an official – and hugely understated – unemployment rate of 9.1 %, according to data released today by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. This devastating unemployment rate has shown no change since last April. Continue reading

U.S. Unemployment Remains Above 9% in December. Economy Adds Few Jobs. More than 14 Million People Out of Work
In spite of massive, multi-billion dollar deficit spending by the federal government, job growth is virtually non-existent and well below the rate of population growth of people entering the workforce, according to year end statistics.
In December, the unemployment rate fell by 0.4% of a percentage point to 9.4%, and nonfarm payroll employment increased by a mere 103,000. More than 14.5 million people are out of work. Official statistics drastically understate the actual number of unemployed or under employed people in the United States. It appears there is no end in sight to massive unemployment, decreased tax revenues and record breaking deficit spending.
