Americans millions of unemployed males.

One source if the great discontent evident in the election, is the huge overlooked class of long term unemployed. Here is a non partisan article from the Wall Street Journal discussing the problem. The WSJ, is pro immigration, so it does not blame the problem on immigration, as it should.https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&r...h-8VWT7QvcQJEyZA2JZ8qQ&bvm=bv.131669213,d.cGc

Interesting that you choose to disregard all other reasons.

An important business newspaper chooses to disagree with your daily rant on immigrants, and all you can say is that the WSJ should blame immigrants for those who are unemployed long term. Bizarre!!

The United States unemployment rate per July 2016 is 4.9 pct which is virtually full employment for a healthy economy:

You obviously didn't read the article about the pretended full employment. Being a business newspaper, it generally wants abundant labor at low wages. This particular article decries the high unemployment without discussing the effect of immigration.

You obviously didn't read the article about the pretended full employment. Being a business newspaper, it generally wants abundant labor at low wages. This particular article decries the high unemployment without discussing the effect of immigration.

The article points out that there are more than 7 million men aged 25 to 54, the prime of life, who are no longer even looking for work.

"

Who are America’s new cadre of prime-age male unworkers? They tend to be: 1) less educated; 2) never married; 3) native born; and 4) African-American. But those categories intersect in interesting ways. Black married men are more likely to be in the workforce than unmarried whites. Immigrants are more likely to be working or job-hunting than native-born Americans, regardless of ethnicity. High-school dropouts from abroad are as likely to be working or looking for work as native-born college grads.

"

No doubt part of the problem is that government employees exceed those in manufacturing by http://cnsnews.com/news/article/ter...s-now-outnumber-manufacturing-workers-9932000 Government hirings, state and federal, tend to be by affirmative action, thus excluding whites and males.

^and what conclusions should we draw?

^and what conclusions should we draw?

1. We should stop immigration at least untill we can achieve actual full employment. 2. Much of Obama's employment has been just a matter of borrowing many trillions and putting masses of minorities on the public payroll--another form of welfare, while bringing in millions to vote democrat.
Thanks for asking.

^4.9 pct unemployment is full employment for it maintains a solid lid on wage demands.

It has been stated here repeatedly over the years that if you wish to eliminate illegal immigration, deter employers from employing illegal immigrants by imposing enormous fines and/or imprisoning the employers.

President Obama's administration has been very active in repatriating illegal immigrants.

Interesting that you choose to disregard all other reasons.

My favorite being how G. W. Bush pushed the "everyone to college" theme and thus continued to destroy American jobs.

Don't forget that that 4.9 figure depends on how one counts unemployment. Those who have pretty much given up should also be counted.

 

[kallipolis]

^The long term unemployed are also included in the figures cited above.

The August 2016 unemployment rate is 5 pct.

If that were an honest figure, that would be true.

Raise the minimum wage to $12/hr, and suddenly the unemployment rate would jump even though the number of employed would keep rising, for the simple reason that more people would start looking again.

exactly. The article deals with an important segment of those who have given up:young males.

These are official figures. What is it that disturbs your sense of misunderstanding?

If the figures are dishonest then provide evidence that supports your allegation. Otherwise your words are meaningless.

There is no simple answer to the question of the long term unemployed other than recognising that labour pay rates is not the only issue that affects employment.

Yes it does, without providing a panacea. Raising more questions than answers can suggest that there is no easy remedy.

Many illegals come to commit crimes and if ither illegals come in and cannot work, they will turn to crime. It is illegal to hire illegals, but it it illegal to ask them if they are legal. And, no, Obamas goal has been to allow more illegals and hurty then to vote. He skewed the statistics to define anyone turned away at the border as "deported".

 

[DantheManFL]

Again, you have no fucking idea what you're talking about....

Obama’s government has deported more than 2.5 million people—up 23% from the George W. Bush years. More shockingly, Obama is now on pace to deport more people than the sum of all 19 presidents who governed the United States from 1892-2000, according to government data.
