Additionally, the number is now at the highest percentage since it was first calculated in 1978. In other words, the labor participation rate (i.e. the percentage of people who are of age and wish to have jobs) is at its lowest rate since 1978 (when it was first tracked).
How does this map to age distribution? I'm pretty sure that is important here and has nothing to do with politics...
But, 28.6% of the population above 16 and below 65 are not employed.
Are not full time employed. A lot of people choose not to work full time. A lot of people over 16 are still at school.
I'm pretty sure whatever the people paid to collect data have thought about these things. Or do you think you're the first?
And so do Slashdot headline editors. RTFA, it says MBP outsold something else unrelated under a specific set of arbitrary conditions that bear no connection to reality.
Large laptop purchases are done by corporates directly with their supplier, not through public online channels. These numbers mean nothing.
With all sincerity, next time, yes, vote your conscious. I, a white male small-el libertarian, voted for Jill Stein, and will get shit for it. Already have gotten shit for it.
And so you should, both Stein and Johnson are idiots. Trump is also an idiot, but at least he is part of a major party so will receive some expert 'guidance'.
Well that depends, do you think that 4.9% is accurate
Yes
when there are 95m people not in the labor force
Who knows for what reasons? Plenty of people choose not to work, so have to assume the research is based on scientific methods.
and food stamp numbers have gone up by 20%.
From what 10 to 12 stamps? This number means nothing on it's own.
Or do you think that the 10% is more accurate? Keeping in mind that 10%(U6) is the rate far more accurate then the U3,
No it isn't, it is a different metric.
but keeping in trend over the last 10 years when you compare everything with U3 and U6 data the rate works out to being roughly 15%(14.7% if you don't want to quibble).
U6 includes U3, ie U3 is a subset of U6, so the 9.5% U6 figure is the highest possible number. This page seems to show they're all going down.
Not forgetting that the 4.9% can't be independently validated either, even using the official figures since the "self-reporting" number is very hit or miss. Gallup's unemployment rate numbers which are nationally sampled put's their U3 rate at around 5.9%.
That's also valid, as long as you stick with one method when doing comparisons. Both 4.9% and 5.9% are still in the ideal range.
Now, figure that 20% of that 95m are retirees that still at a higher rate in the 1970's when women weren't in the workforce like they are today. Couple that with extremely stagnant wages for the last decade. Toss in that even the white house's own explanation that the U3 number is low because boomers are leaving the workforce, and that pushes the U3 unemployment rate lower.
I'm not sure what you are saying. People choosing not to work (ie retirees, children etc) shouldn't count as unemployed, since the purpose of an unemployment rate to measure how many job seekers there are out there. So if it's low it's because it is actually low.
The Government doesn't try to produce these figures purely to fool the public, they are used to gauge the health of the economy and how effective policy works. They are produced by people who's job it is to report accurate data. If they say it is 4.9%, and some other people say it's 5.9%, then either one sounds ok to me. 5% unemployment is considered economically ideal since you need some unemployed people available for new businesses to hire.
The bigger problem is not so much unemployment, but the support available to unemployed people to get out of that situation. My country has similar unemployment rates (5%), but it isn't an issue because we have access to free health, public housing, welfare etc so unemployment isn't necessarily a life changing experience.
FYI: If you're counting the actual unemployment rate it's probably closer to 15% in the US.
It may very well be 15%, but the quoted 4.9% is published using known methods that we can independently validate. Can you do the same? Or is this the new Trump era where just saying so is good enough?
In 1984 no one would have ever imagined PA would allow gambling
Here's a tip that has worked for most of the world's successful people, even back in the 80's: Casinos are a risky business, so probably not a reliable investment choice.
So, did your business degree give you the ability to see into the future, or just sound like a pretentious ass?
I don't have a business degree, I just know enough to know that you can't blame all of your failures in business on other people.
If you want to go on about how much your turd sandwich is better than the other guy's, at least try not to sound like a clueless jerk off.
It's not about me, or you, it's about the illusion that Trump is good at business when really his record is below average.
It's all academic now anyway.. Fear, uncertainty and doubt won, the whole world is now a more uncertain place.
Marathon runners in the age of 35 are faster than those in age of 25.
And also faster than marathon runners aged 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 and 100+. See the pattern now?
Martial artists in the age of 70 are better than those in the age of 25, 35... or pick your number.
Fucking bullshit. You've been watching too many Kung Fu movies. Fighters also peak around their 30's, as demonstrated by every world champion ever in the sport.
If you have some way of knowing what's going to happen 22 years in the future, I would sure like to know. Otherwise, I'm all for hating on Trump, but his casino closing is a poor example of his failings.
There's not really enough time to go through an entire business degree here, but the simplified version is that the viability of any business is subject to possible competition. Trump failed to take this into account and that is his failure to bear. Millions of other business people succeed or fail based on similar circumstances, the successful ones take responsibility to navigate such obstacles, while Trump and his fanboys blame everyone else but themselves for their situation.
Trump has over 500 businesses, yet he still performs lower overall than an index fund The illusion is that he is successful, but the fact is he started high and has since trailed the average. Don't believe the hype.
Oh right so when I asked you that same question first and you didn't answer it what is that?
You are too dull to see the absurdity of your position, you are the gift that keeps on giving...
While I happen to agree w/ Trump even during the GOP primary level, even if I didn't, given these choices of corrupt vs shooting off the mouth, I'd pick the latter any day!
All politicians have some level of corruption, yet this still brought us a modern democracy with the highest standards of living, life expectancy, prosperity in human history.
Big mouth bullies never give anyone anything.
Most people with an education know this, which is why for the first time there is a clear pattern between education level and candidate choice.
Because they earned enough money?
Are tired of training 6h aday or more?
Tired of spending the weekend traveling to events/games instead of spending them with family or friends?
This one is quite in line with what I was saying about the issues of discovering truth in a civil war zone: we are said the BUK system came from Russia, fired from a Kiev-controlled area and then went back to Russia. Does it makes sense for a sovereign state to claim it controls an area, when someone can bring a weapon from another country, shot down a plane and vanish afterwards?
And we still do not know why a commercial plane was flying above a war zone.
I work in AWS every day, I know what the instances are capable of, and I know what the shortfalls are. Sometimes there is no substitute for having a self contained development environment that doesn't require network connectivity in order to function.
There are benefits and there are also risks, as you are now finding out with Apple's decision to not cater to your needs.
Oh, you mean like the SSH setup I have for all my servers to only listen to known IPs for shell access? Uh, yeah, no kidding.
I think Trump is an idiot and wanted to find something in this story, but this really is scraping the bottom of the speculation barrel.
For all we know it is one of the IT staff with a link to torrent seed hosted overseas. There's a ton of reasons to not like Trump, this is not one of them.
It's like I said to my sister the other day; I can't wait for November 9 so I can stop obsessing about Trump and start obsessing about the new Harry Potter movie.
Problem is Trump won't go away post-election. If he wins it will be worse than this, and if he loses he starts Trump media and doubles down on the loose talk and continual lies.

Methods which are known to be deliberately deceptive
Known in your head? Or by other tin foil hat wearers too?
It is more of a disaster that people don't know that we live in a Republic, and not a democracy.
The real disaster is that some people think these are mutually exclusive...
Apple *do* know their target markets after all!

I do martial arts since over 35 years. One who has less years of experience than me has not much of a chance against me,
Talk is cheap. Come down the gym and lets validate that.
If you believe otherwise you are not only an idiot but rather dumb.
More talk. Put up or shut up.

In Trump's defense, Atlantic City is failing as a whole and dumping his casino was the best thing he could have done.
Or not invest in a such a poor location in the first place? Surely that would've been better?

I don't get why people are having such a hard time grasping this.
Because when it comes to political teamsports, all thinking goes out the window.
Other than mishandling classified materials, which have sent other people to jail for lengthily sentences.
Who exactly? Can you provide references?
Because they earned enough money? Are tired of training 6h aday or more? Tired of spending the weekend traveling to events/games instead of spending them with family or friends?
There are probaby plenty of reasons.
And all of them are to do with age.

AWS I/O is garbage
That was only an example. There is more than one cloud solution out there, all with different value propositions...
