And even a longer road from 2008-2016.

Nah, things have been great here for the last 4 years or so.

Things have been starting to get better here the last few months after years of unemployment. Now if we could only do something about the extremely high Obamacare premiums we would be doing good.

Few months?

 

Look at the source article posted. It's been heading down since 2010.

 

What indicates that anything has changed massively in the last few months, other than just continue an already present downward trend?

 

I also seem to recall on the campaign trail certain people claiming statistics like these are "flawed" and our unemployment rate is actually much worse. Was that all magically fixed in the last few months?

ObamaCare is done. Let's see how Trump keeps your premiums down.

This is all just funny to me. Both sides continually arguing who is responsible when the real answer is neither.

I am not aware of anyone making that claim.

You must not listen to our Dear President very much.

 

He was very critical of typical unemployment rates, claiming the "real number" is much higher.

 

In that case - the data in this article is fake. The real unemployment rate has skyrocketed since Trump became President. I heard it's almost 60 percent!!!

 

Trump didn't need evidence for his claims, so surely I don't.

 

I really hope our unemployment rate comes down. 60 percent is just hard in everyone.

Show me where Trump said the real unemployment rate is 60%.

I'm saying that.

 

And I have just as much evidence as Trump did when he discussed higher than documented rates.
