69 Weeks of Job Growth, Longest on Record!

I just love how they keep pointing to Kansas which is a midwest state located in the middle of nowhere with a small population yet competely ignore Texas which has identical demographics to California and has been the single largest producer of jobs across all pay levels for 12 years and running now. I also love how liberals completely ignore Illinois and California which are run on liberal economic policies and are complete failures with now insurmountable debt.

Any time some economically illiterate and uneducated person talks about left versus right economic policies I just ask which state is performing better Texas or California. If they don't know then I just show them all the studies, fact checks and so on that clearly show that Texas is doing far better than California.

 

Umm, my comment about the job recovery was meant for sarcasm.

 

And yet many of us choose to squander our lives in california
Hollywood s still in hollywood, silicon valley is still in silicon valley
Go figure

 

Even the tech jobs are leaving going from California to Texas.

I know. Mine was intended to reinforce your point. The "Job Recovery" is political fraud - works well for few well placed crooks though.

 

Any publicly traded company that has not already moved or is not planning to move from CA should be subjected to shareholder lawsuits.

 

Screaming headlines of pure, easily disposed of nonsense. Let's do a little math: 69 weeks, 4.3 weeks in a month, = 16 months

Yet we had:
151320k Jobs in March
151004k Jobs in April
151030k Jobs in May
151097 Jobs in June

We still have fewer jobs in June than we had in March of this year. Apparently your source is a moron. You really shouldn't cite morons, especially when with just a few clicks you can double check the crap he is feeding you. Be Smart! You can do it!

It is hilarious to watch them spin any positive news to something negative about obama or liberals. What is missing from the discussion is that this is a national economic story. That means the whole nation not just one state. And the GOP run states are not exactly kicking butt are they?

 

All this state vs state stuff is so very silly
I like california... As by the way do plenty enough people
I do no want double or triple the population here

You like texas
And i am quite happy that you and your friends want to stay there

So we are both hapoy. Right?

 

Why don't you tell us how good NAFTA has been?

The Obama administration considers striking workers going back to work as "new" jobs.

 

Texas goes with the price of the barrel, not the best example unless you want to look at past years when the price or oil was inflated. Unless there is a war stopping production for a large producer of oil the Texas economy should get worse in winter when prices go down as we have more oil in storage everywhere in the world. Just sayin; we are pretty diverse, but oil is the main driver of the economy here whether people like it or not.

Texas Monthly Jobs Report: May 2016
http://apps.dallasnews.com/texas-jobs-report
economists said the essentially flat numbers signal the continuing spread of economic woes from the oil bust. “This was a little bit of a weaker month,” said Pia Orrenius, vice president and senior economist with the Dallas Federal Reserve. Still, booming, diverse economies in Dallas, Austin and San Antonio were continuing to charge ahead; each had unchanged unemployment rates in May that were well below the 4.7 percent national average. Year over year, the state added 171,800 jobs

--Texas and Houston had the worst job growth in May in at a least a quarter-century as the energy bust spread across the economy to undermine hiring in sectors from construction to professional services to hotels and restaurants.
--The state and region are caught up in the worst energy bust in 30 years, following a collapse in oil prices that forced companies to take drilling rigs out of operation and lay off workers by the thousands. Crude prices plunged from more than $100 a barrel two years ago to a low of about $26 in February. Crude closed at $47.98 a barrel in New York on Friday.

Fed: Texas cut 35,000 energy jobs in 2016 through April, but outlook improving
http://fuelfix.com/blog/2016/07/08/...-in-2016-through-april-but-outlook-improving/
HOUSTON – The latest available data shows Texas energy companies cut 35,000 jobs this year through April, but the industry’s outlook is improving, the Dallas Fed says.
--“Prices remain slightly below average breakeven levels for most geographic areas,” the Dallas Fed said.
In a recent survey, oil companies said they could get by on $51 a barrel oil in the Permian Basin in West Texas, $53 oil in the Eagle Ford in South Texas, and $56 oil in Oklahoma.

 

Ok I'll put it to you in a remedial way - Full time jobs have now become part time jobs, there for the full time job is being done by two employees instead of one...

Do you understand that?

That is not "job growth" that is call using Obamacare to split full time jobs in half.

The economy hasn't grown a damn bit yet we have more jobs??? How the (*)(*)(*)(*) does that work?

 

Well done. Thinking isn't exactly a strong point of hackneyed propagandists.

 

Continuing to look good!

Few wish to retrogress to 2008 when a Republican regime had wreaked its magic..

Even the guarded Wall StreetJournal [alleged "hackneyed propagandist"] is upbeat:

... and the ever-cautious US News [alleged "hackneyed propagandist"] is sharing the rosy economic prospects:

The chronic snivelers will throw another of their hissysnits, of course, but the US continues to recover from its plight when Bush/Cheney mercifully absconded.

Let's not return to those thrilling days of yesteryear!

You mean when the Dems took over congress and did.

 

The labour market is improving, so clearly we can start raising rates again... Right?

 

Im not in Texas. Im in Wisconsin which is also a great case for GOP leadership as we have our Democrat neighbors to the south who have completely (*)(*)(*)(*)ed up that state as well.

The state versus state stuff came up because of the Kansas comparison. The OP acted like it was the only GOP state in the nation and tried to make it sound like it represented all of them and was a failure. That is the way an uneducated and illiterate person would go about it. The proper way to do it is compare two very similar states that have been run for long periods of time consistently under their respective ideologies. It doesn't get much better than CA versus TX which have very close total populations and virtually identical demographics. Both states also have enormous natural resources and labor capital. Both states have been run for decades nearly uncontested under their respective parties the GOP and the Democrats.

 

Huzzah!

Finally, American workers are beginning to share a little in the economic upswing the fat cats have been hoarding.

If things are so great, why is the real unemployment rate still hovering around 10%?

Uniquely, Brownback proclaimed Kansas to be an "experiment", his "Red State Model" when he and his radical-right cronies took power and imposed Laffer dogma on the state. It is a consummate failure. Kansans have voted Brownback the worst governor in the nation.

Not even Louisina under Jindal's mismanagement declared itself such an ideological paradigm, with the scrutiny that invites.

Kansas is the lesson for pragmatists elsewhere willing and able to learn from it.

 

I don't know who is telling you that "things are so great."

There are few who would not admit things have gotten much better since the change of regimes in January, 2009. Even hyper-partisan ideologues, however begrudgingly, have to accept the obvious.

 

Really, then what about California and Illinois? Two states run for decades under the tax and spend model. Just gonna pretend that Democrats haven't run those states into the ground?

Kansas is a failed state because of its location, lack of human capital (no one wants to work there) and it needs serious spending reforms. They hired efficiency experts who found $2 billion in waste that could be cut over the next few years.

If you want to talk about which models work then you compare two similar states with similar demographics and resources and as I said it doesn't get much better than CA and TX.

 

I am not aware of either (or any others) ever electing a governor who declared that his state would be an "experiment" such as Brownback's self-declared Red State Model.

Brownback being acclaimed as the worst governor in the nation by his constituents after he had worked his ideological magic speaks for itself and renders attempts to shift attention elsewhere ineffectual.

It is the only "model" any governor has brazenly promoted, and, presumably, he invited scrutiny of his results when he did so.

A desperate "Hey, everybody! Look over there!" does not negates the "experiment"'s valuable lesson. It comes at a high price, endured by Kansans.

 

Hasn't gotten better for blacks.

In fact, it's worse.

That's a fact.
