Unemployment Rate Plunges to 9%

Indeud.

The jobs report just came out and boy is it exciting. The official unemployment rate plunged 0.4%, down to 9.0%, thanks to the disappearance of 700,000 people. Following last month’s disappearance of 500,000, it’s fair to say the government is doing a fine job at killing people, in order to reduce joblessness. After all, the lower the pool of available workers, the better that fucking rate looks, no?

In other news, Mrs. Fly walked in on me watching Fast Money last night (re-run) and queried: “who are those nerds?” The clever geeks over at Fast Money have a new segment where two people sit on a stool facing one another, having at it on a particular subject. Yesterday, that Brian Kelly (BEAKS!) guy was battling some fucking dork over the sustainability of the solar industry. It was ridiculous, really, especially the part when Brian Kelly stood up to make his case about how solar is so fucking cool, while some idiot music chimes out in the background.

Mrs. Fly is exactly right when calling them “nerds.”

In closing, the market should trade up today, thanks to such a kickass jobs report, regardless of whether 700,000 people were viciously murdered by our government.

    Amazing. We’ve had a whole bunch disappear here in Canada too. But it’s probably just an increase in UFO abductions. Strangely, our benefit payouts are going through the roof. The aliens must be exchanging them for less productive people. Maybe the same is happenning in the States. cue twighlight zone music

    Oh and to add to that Canada added more jobs than us. Really a good reason to go higher.

      Truly, oil prices have helped quite a bit here in my town. We probably did add more jobs per capita in Canada, but only because metals, agriculture, and oil are through the ceiling. Manufacturing is sucking balls, and there are still a lot of lazy mo-fo’s up here who don’t really want/need a job.

    I don’t really know of anyone without a job, so here where I live in NC, is rolling along well as far as I see.

      Solipsism is no substitute for economic analysis.

      The people without jobs are the displaced (from larger consolidating companies) who are not incented to find new opportunities thanks to the Barack Shalack Obama Never Ending Wheel O’ Cheese.

    This is a politically-perfect-market-friendly number. It allows Obama to say things are going great with the lower unemployment number, and allows Big Ben to keep doing his POMO thing, as all the economists that swallow the bullshit government statistics as real, keep clamoring that POMO is needed until we see strong job growth.

    This is simply confusion regarding a Breitbart story re: “The Worldwide Demise of the Clam”

    http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=CNG.b9196e3cb8adc1839123aa8091abdb30.2d1&show_article=1

    Bearshitters have not figured out that The Clam has a distinct advantange over the lowly oyster – behold “motility”. Fighting Ben is like fighting Chuck Norris on sherm.

    On a more serious note,

    There is much much more to the CCRM & BORN story (Citron, Muddy, et al.).

    There are two sides to every story as they say…

    The government has outsourced abductions to formerly unknown alien kidnappers clad in green….with big eyes and 3 fingers….. 700 000 humans gone this month to be utilized for probing experiments, only another 300 000 000 or so before they own it all…..

    I always thought the same thing about the Fast Money people…the “humor” on that show is about as lame as it gets, but they seem to think they’re sooooooo funny….and I’ve never seen a group of men wear that much makeup unless they were holding hands and walking in a parade or something…

    I find it difficult to even imagine the Countessa ever using such a vulgar term.
