And meanwhile, the underemployment rate remains much too high at 11.8%. Obama continues to have a lot of work to do.

With the eldest baby boomers now in their late 60s, it would be weird if that wasn't true.

When the topic at hand doesn't fit your talking points, I see you change the topic. Typical spin.

Grammatical arguments are not a good rebuttal. Most Republicans would have claimed the numbers are being faked by Obama to help Democrats in the midterm.

The above two should immediately cease using our oxygen for their super seriousness in response to my joke post (as well as other reasons).

I agree to do so if you agree to cease using it until you change that joke signature.

That could have been avoided if the GOP grew a brain and supported increasing the minimum wage.

Okay, the last jobs report before the midterms and it just so happens to have an unemployment rate below 6%. Surely, President Obama is cooking the books just like he did two years ago. Where are our conspiracy theorists truth seekers? [/sarcasm]

That's interesting. Do you believe it is possible to eliminate low wage jobs if we just increase the minimum wage enough?

Then the jobs wouldn't be low wage anymore Sbane. Wink Lower wage sure, but people wouldn't live in dire poverty as a cause of it.
