Focusing Like A Laser On Jobs

The employment report is out - Team Obama is miraculously lowering the unemployment rate while scarcely creating jobs:

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The unemployment rate dropped sharply last month to 9 percent, based on a government survey that found that more than a half-million people found work.

A separate survey of company payrolls showed a scant increase of 36,000 net jobs as snowstorms likely hampered hiring. That survey doesn't count the self-employed.

Harsh snowstorms last month cut into construction employment, which fell by 32,000, the most since May. Transportation and warehousing was also likely affected and fell by 38,000 -- the most in a year.

"The thumbprints of the weather were all over this report," said Neil Dutta, an economist at Bank of America Merrill Lynch. Hiring was suppressed last month and will likely rebound in February, he said.

Baffling.  Matt Drudge notes it has also been cold in Canada, which added 31,100 full time and 38,000 part time jobs.

My thought - Team Obama is borrowing good news at a time when they may not need it.  If unemployment is unreasonably low now, it is likely to stick there or even rise through the summer, when the Administration will be looking for credibility on the inevitable budget battles.

--Team Obama is miraculously lowering the unemployment rate while scarcely creating jobs--

It's not a miracle, just math, if the Team discourages 500,000 people from even looking for work.

[bunky]

Unexpected!

[Army of Davids]

Caught union lackey...er Labor Secretary Hilda Solis on CNBC this AM as she explained how to make sense of the job picture.

Here's a clue for Mrs. Solis. Look at the labor participation rate.

Since October we've had 1 million people drop out of the labor force.

I'm sure the healthcare bill has nothing to do w/ it.

[clarice]

I'm not sure it's all discouraged workers though. Rick keeps pointing out the overcounting of illegals in the past and the large number of self-deportations in the last two years.

[Neo]

SO why have I been seeing numbers like 9.8% all morning ?

[LibertyAtStake]

Yeah, I think @Ignatz has it right. A big lesson here is the obsolescence of the Dept of Labor models. It seems to me, in this age of ubiquitous communications, a pure household survey model could be devised that would cut be more accurate in the end.

[Danube of Thought]

The "strongly approve" number has dropped to 24%, down from 31% nine days ago.

I think the 9.8% u/e number was Gallup, which doesn't do any seasonal adjusting. Also, both Gallup (and the govt., I think) numbers are simply based on polling, although with the govt. numbers you never hear anything about sample size or MOE.

Labor Force Participation Rate.

The reason for the 9% number.

[Walter]

I just had one of the missing drop by my office last week. His initial unemployment claim was denied, so he stopped filing. Once I explained that he needs to continue filing while his appeal is pending, he decided to file for the past couple weeks.

On a macro level, I suspect a part of this is due to the expiration that wasn't of long-term unemployment benefits at the end of last year. Quite a few of them received the letters that their benefits would end; few states made the same effort to tell them that they received a reprieve.

[Melinda Romanoff]

Another month's data like this and Obama, Pelosi, and Reid will have successfully unwound the economic recovery produced by the Reagan tax cuts.

The labor participation rate is the same as it was in March 1984. (64.2%)

[RichatUF]

Mel-

Isn't next month the birth/death adjustment?

[Janet]

OT (needless to say)

[Melinda Romanoff]

Rich-

Birth/Death model comes every month. It's part of the fudge factor.

[Melinda Romanoff]

Rich-

Here's the data page.

[Neo]

Either I'm reading this wrong or the birth/death adjustment for January is off the map. LUN

[Rick Ballard]

Rich,

Perhaps you're referring to the annual revision? That took place this month, with a drop in employment of 411K for March and 483K for December. 220K of the desaparecidos were Mythical Mexicans.

The employment report sucked. Natural increase requires 100K new jobs per month in order to tread water.

[Neo]

Effective with the release of preliminary January 2011 employment estimates in February 2011, BLS will begin updating the Current Employment Statistics (CES) net birth/death model component of the estimation process more frequently, generating birth/death factors on a quarterly basis instead of annually

[RichatUF]

Rick-

Thanks, I thought that the benchmark annual revision was released in Feb or March. Coffee isn't kicking in and I should have just looked at the report instead of the write up. Mostly noise, but I did see over at Drudge, Santelli was yelling at Liesman this morning.

[Melinda Romanoff]

Neo-

Seasonally Adjusted= -339,000
Not Seasonally Adjusted= -2,898,000

Remember, this is not an addition/subtraction figure for the non-farm payroll count of the Establishment Survey Table B-1. It is solely an adjustment factor in its statistical calculations, like adding a line in calculating an average (oversimplification alert!!).

And as Rick mentioned, this is in no way a positive development. It reinforces my thoughts on the growth of structural unemployment, and, I suspect, Rick's as well.

[Melinda Romanoff]

Neo-

I take that as an announcement that it will be historically revised more often. That B/D number comes out every month, it's one of the ones I watch regularly.

[Jane (sit on the couch or save your country)]

BTW I saw that troll that is really good friends with the Clintons and the former DNC chair (his name will come to me) on MSNBC today and he said they wanted to prolong the health care decision going to the Supremes until someone dies and Obama gets a new pick.

Nice editorial at IBD via RCM calling this "crony capitalism" for GE and the unions what it really is; just good old-fashioned, raw corruption.

That was a Gallup number, done by polling.

CH- I think it's so Hugo Chavez of Obama to plant himself on our tv sets before each major sporting event.
I can't believe Fox is putting us through that, but I guess it's the one big interview they are going to get this year.

Who wants to be at a party, a bar, a party, or sitting around with family before the Super Bowl....and then have a dull interview with ANY politician? Talk about a downer.

[Danube of Thought]

With Ronaldus Maximus's birthday coming on Sunday, it seems like a good time for this.

[Rob Crawford]

CH- I think it's so Hugo Chavez of Obama to plant himself on our tv sets before each major sporting event.

Maybee, Fox has completely whored itself out for the Super Bowl (and yes, Charlie, I understand the importance of insuring ratings for it; my point is that at some point you start losing viewers on your other shows with the incessant shilling and it becomes counterproductive) which is one, but far from the only, reason I was hoping the cold weather would really screw it up. Chavez is a good comparison, particularly with the disinterest in what the other non-Schumer branches of government are doing, but I'm sticking with Rupert Pupkin.

[Ignatz]

Hopeless house to cut mere $32 billion from 2011 budget which is projected to be $1.5 TRILLION in deficit.
Rand Paul proposes cutting $500 billion (one third of the deficit) annually, almost all of it from useless, harmful, outdated bureaucracies like HUD and Commerce and he's the one deemed irresponsible.

[michaelt]

The Phoenix Open and Animal Planet's Puppy Bowl will be on my teevee until game time. I wouldn't be watching the pregame anyway, but those two blowhards don't need to know that.

[Captain Hate]

So the Repukes are getting cold feet now that it's time to live up to their promises? Wow, I didn't see that one coming ::rolleyes::. Smells like compassionate conservatism.

[Ignatz]

Doing some back of the envelope calculations, Barry and Co will only have to stimulate about another million and a half people into giving up looking for work and living in their parents' basement to reach the level of unemployment that Christina Romer warned us we would reach if Porkulus wasn't signed into law.
Another three or four million on top of that stimulated into economic oblivion and he'll have it back to where it was when he took office.

I'm having a superbowl party and I told people to come after the interview so I don't have to have it on. Of course I probably will, cause I'm an ass. But I didn't want to hear anyone else talk about it.

[Rick Ballard]

Mel,

Look on the bright side - the economy has returned to pre-crash GDP levels while employing 7.2 million fewer workers. You can file that under "chimerical ephemera", of course, but it does reflect some real productivity gains. It also reflects the fact that the $2.6 trillion of our grandchildren's money that Uncle Sugar has dumped into the bottomless pit to date hasn't done much at all.

Wrt the labor force participation rate - there are demographic factors which preclude the possibility of much of an increase in the rate until after 2020. The composition of the civilian non-institutional population is beginning to reflect the retirement of Boomers while the labor force is reflecting the baby bust. The twain just ain't gonna meet up for 10 years or so.

[Danube of Thought]

I think a lot of folks are making much too much of a big deal about Fox, Obama and the Super Bowl. I admire Fox--in particular, Fox News Channel--for allowing the presentation of viewpoints, and for bringing news of events, that simply do not appear on any other networks. I don't expect them to adhere rigidly to a party line or to shun, for example, and opportunity to interview a sitting president.

[NK]

The jobs report stinks. No new jobs (50K private-- ick) collapsing labor force participation, the only hopeful sign is the household survey has a positive-- albeit slow-- trajectory. This will foce BHO to continue the pathetic "triangulation" watch him side with the Repubs on the $32Billion cutsfor the rest of this year, and start campaigning in the Fall by saying, see budget cuts didn't help either. Pathetic. Job growth will be slow, gas and food prices are skyrocketing-- the hoi poli will not be happy when Barry O comes scrappin' and fetchin' for their votes. And yes, this shows that European structural unemployment is here with Obamacare, who will hire or even start new businesses with those obscene mandates. Obamacare is a profit killer, a jobs killer and a drag on economic growth. For what, so the DC scum can keep their perks of power. Disgusting.

[Captain Hate]

Of course I probably will, cause I'm an ass. But I didn't want to hear anyone else talk about it.

The only way that interview could be any good would be for O'Reilly to be kidnapped and have replacing him some of his regulars like Cavuto, Laura Ingaham and Tammy Bruce. Best television evarrrrr.

[Porchlight]

Hopeless house to cut mere $32 billion from 2011 budget which is projected to be $1.5 TRILLION in deficit.

Paul Ryan says it's more like $74 billion. Much of the 2011 money is already allocated and spent, so there's not as much for them to work with. The big cuts will have to wait until the 2012 budget which will be the first real budget the GOP is responsible for.

Yippee!

We're on board the Veendam and the first thing I did was ask the concierge if they were bringing the Super Bowl and I was told we have it on Marine Sat, ESPN at 8:00 South Atlantic time (whatever that is) whiie at sea on our way to Stanley.

Will be updating the blog later today but was also informed that later in the cruise, when we are in the Chilean fjords, not expect any reception. I don't how thes MacMania people are going to accept that at all. We may have a little Cairo on our hands.

And you were thinking that the MacMania crowd as a bunch of Miami Vice looking techies in jeans and black T's you are sorely mistaken. My wife and I may be the youngest of the whole crowd. All retired grandparents, some in wheel chairs and most who have never heard of Gary Taube's books:)

Really, really O/T, but something that will bring a smile to the face of Ann (yoo hoo, where ya been, gal?), and Janet, and Sue and all others who have had it up to hear with the fawning Michelle is a fashion icon bullshit.

FishbowlDC has started a regular column to chronicle the ass kissing over Moochelle by Amy Parnes at Politico. Today in their first installment they link to this written by an African American lesbian blogger:

I would hate to be Amie Parnes and Karin Tanabe of Politico. Why? Crap like this will make them the laughingstocks of the world as soon as Barack's out of the White House.

What little suck ups the two are. Fact: Michelle Obama cannot dress for s**t. Fact: Prior to Michelle's 'fashion,' the worst outfit I ever saw was Whitney Houston's expanded maxi pad ensemble she wore as "Queen of the Night" in The Bodyguard.

Most of the suck ups have gotten wise and just don't offer opinions on Michelle's disaster choices. But Parnes and Tanabe desperately want to be remembered and, goodness, won't they be. And speaking of crack whores, from the article:

Brandon Holley, editor in chief of Lucky magazine, is sticking up for Obama. Holley told POLITICO she doesn't recall the same scrutiny of what Laura Bush wore as first lady. "What [Obama] has done for American design is incredible," Holley said, especially by bringing relatively unknown designers into prominence. "That's why I think we have no right to question her choices."

If I looked like Suzanne Sommers very ugly clone, I'm not sure anyone would see me as a voice for fashion and taste. Somehow Holley manages to fool them -- or at least Conde Naste. Whether she's wearing her iron curtain bangs or not, Holley's forever a dumpy little thing.

Amazing! Clarice will need to alert the gals at MOTUS, too.

Some good news...
State health dept. to probe abortion center referred to in the LiveAction video.

from the article "...Woodruff also coaches the alleged sex traffickers on where to get an abortion that won’t be met with as much scrutiny, referring them to the New Jersey-based abortion business named Metropolitan Medical Associates, where she says “They won’t need ID then. Their protocols aren’t as strict as ours and they don’t get audited the same way we do.”"
Woodruff was the Planned Parenthood employee that has since been fired. The bolding in mine. The place sounds like Kermit Gosnell's "clinic" in Philadelphia.

An Obama bundler picked for a choice ambassadorship brought the U.S. embassy she led to “a state of dysfunction” in a year on the job, a State Department probe has found.

Cynthia Stroum, who last month left her post as U.S. ambassador to Luxembourg, was “aggressive, bullying, hostile and intimidating,” the department’s inspector general said in a report released Thursday.

Making strides on that promise to close Gitmo ...

An Afghan inmate at the US prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, has collapsed and died after exercising, according to US military officials.
Awal Gul, 48, was accused of being a Taliban commander and part of the al-Qaeda network. He had been held without charges since October 2002.
Mr Gul had been using an elliptical machine, which simulates running.
Officials said Mr Gul had collapsed in the shower after using the exercise equipment.
His death remains under investigation but an autopsy suggests he died of either a heart attack or a pulmonary embolism, a military spokesman said.

... one inmate at a time.

Another interesting thing. The Egyptian minister of defense went to the square earlier today to tell the protesters their message had been heard and it was time to go home. AJ is portraying this as showing "how weak" the government is, having to beg the protesters to stop. I take it as exactly the opposite. This was the regime telling the demonstrators 'we are not afraid of you.'

how does one screw up the ambassadorship to Luxembourg? There must be what? 12 people in the office? You can invite the entire adult population over and get them all drunk for $60,000, especially if it's Luxembourgeois wine.

We should probably fold countries such as Luxembourg and Liechtenstein and Monaco and San Marino into a master embassy and lease out the old embassies to reduce the deficit. We could offer offshore banking services, even, and make millions processing the proceeds of European tax cheats.

Someone who sounded like me was on Rush? What did she say?

BTW, I know you are dying to hear the latest storm update. A guy came by today to ask if the drywall was coming off in the living room because of the snow on the roof. Apparently lots of roofs, where I live, are collapsing. I see some water damage but no collapse -yet. I did manage to convince him my roof needs clearing.

Then Amy got a call from the school saying come pick up her kid, because everyone was afraid that teh school's roof would fall in, even tho it hadn't - yet.

We are expecting 8 more inches tomorrow - which means about 20 if history is the judge, then a very major storm next Thursday. At this point, no one has a clue what "major" means.

Anyone want to visit?

Speaking of Rush, as one of his frequent detractors I have to give him high marks for an excellent interview with Rodney Harrison on what it's like playing in the Super Bowl. I thought he asked very insightful questions to which Harrison gave very well thought out answers.
