What is not reflect in this post but is a part of Labor stats, is that the private sector contributed 1.87 million to the 2011 total.

Of the 132 million people currently working (out of 153 million who want to work), 2.3 million are "part-timers."

The civilian labor force participation rate declined by 0.2 percentage point to 64.0 percent. The employment-population ratio, at 58.5 percent, changed little. (See table A-1.)


The only way a 64% figure of the civilian labor force "works,"  is if that force totals 206 million people.  Our total population is a little over 312 million (4.7% of the World's population).  

In the end,  and as relates to the recent 8.6% unemployment report for November, 315,000 are the result of people giving up on job search and no longer counted into the month totals. This is a number given to us by the Department of Labor.  

If Obama's government counted this circumstance into their reported totals,  the 
unemployment rate would be 8.8% 


There are even more problems than this,  but that will come with later reporting on this blog.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
