The DoL said the total labor force remains down by 37,000 since the start of the pandemic.

In September, Georgia said more than 7,700 workers found jobs while 6,000 dropped out of the labor force, resulting in a nearly 14,000 decrease in the number of residents officially considered unemployed.




Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel is slamming President Joe Biden over the latest jobs report.
In a Friday tweet, McDaniel wrote: "350,000 FEWER jobs were created last month than expected. Biden’s big government socialism doesn’t work!" Yet ignore the National 4.2 rate. Oh I forgot that’s Republican Governors doing. LOL. Republicans expecting a bill recently signed hasn’t worked LOL

Don’t believe those phony numbers,” Trump declared during his victory speech after the New Hampshire primary, in February. “When you hear 4.9 and five-per-cent unemployment, the number’s probably twenty-eight, twenty-nine, as high as thirty-five—in fact, I even heard recently forty-two per cent.” By June, when he did an interview on Fox News’s “Justice with Judge Jeanine,” he’d received new data. “The number five per cent is a phony number—it’s really twenty per cent, close to twenty-per-cent unemployment. That’s just a phony number to make the politicians look good.” In an August speech on the economy, he said, in reference to the official government unemployment rate, “The five-per-cent figure is one of the biggest hoaxes in American modern politics.”

What’s Funny GA uses the same method the US government uses to calculate the un employment Rate

Yet now Republicans believe the numbers in GA not the US Governments numbers classic bait and switch to the uninformed voter

I am sure the families of the 30k who have died in GA are so happy they opened early so their unemployment could be 3.2 % …

you’re dismissing GAs low unemployment. do you feel
the same way about federal unemployment?

i said here that i’m glad federal unemployment is as low as it is. and biden deserves some credit for that. But the jobs number was lousy, and biden deserves some blame for that

^ that there is what honesty looks like. credit where it’s due, criticism where it’s due.
