US Politics: Bike tricks

[Gnarls]

There is no reasoning necessary. It’s job figures. Imagine introducing an entire argument about the economy to minimise a key metric all politicians campaign on.

And no one seriously looks at that number in isolation. Context is key!

For something not “seriously looked at it” it seems to get a lot of coverage.

Yoh, what a strawman.

Nah, valid observation. Every quarter without fail.

Yoh, now being wilfully obtuse. Here's what I said again.

Strawman some more.

Job numbers are a metric which all Americans are familiar with for decades - ask an American.

No answer. Cool. Back to being a clown I see.

No need to if you read the thread again. Name calling is not necessary. Thanks.

Perhaps instead of mouthing off about stuff you know little about rather just read an article that encapsulates what I've been saying.

Unemployment Is Low, But So Is The Labor Force Participation Rate — What’s Going On In The U.S. Labor Market?

While unemployment is low, some fear that this is primarily driven by low labor force participation that’s creating a rosier picture than it should.

In short you're wrong. Deal with it.

That article is from January.

Today, labor force participation is above pre-covid levels as well.

In short you're wrong. Deal with it.

My argument again mate.

My argument again mate.

You can make whatever argument you like. It doesn’t change the metric. You and kieppie can discuss the US economy to your hearts content, you economic savants!

 

[tetrasect]

Honestly don’t have time for your nonsense. Employment …

Hah ok guess you lack understanding of said graph.

TLDR there has been no real economic growth, merely recovery from an artificially imposed dip. Hence the initial laughter at the old "adding jobs" trope.

Where did I argue that. I said you can’t use that metric in isolation mate. Keep misconstruing my argument to your hearts content.

And yet plenty do, US citizens and politicians alike. Am I wrong in saying that?

No, and I never said they don’t but even the Bureau of Labour Statistics segments their numbers to provide more insight. Your understanding of the US economy would be lacking if you based it on this metric alone.

What metric should we be looking at in addition to this one?

Am I commenting on the US economy or a metric? Pretty sure it’s a metric. One, which, for the hundredth time is core to Americans - not only in politics but general sentiment.

Bwhahahaha no it's not but keep licking Biden's boots why don't you, you utter clown.
It's still at 62.6%. ie under what it was pre Covid.
