• 5.1% - The current unemployment rate for government workers, which is the lowest unemployment rate for any of 17 different categories and subcategories of industries for which employment is tracked and published on a month-to-month basis by the Department of Labor.

• 8.1% - The current national unemployment rate, which dropped .2% because 368,000 Americans dropped out of the labor force in August. Do you understand what you just heard? These people –368,000 of your neighbors and friends – just said the hell with it and gave up.

• 8.4% - What the unemployment rate would be if the labor force participation rate had stayed the same as just last month – if those people had stayed in the job market and kept looking for work.

• 11.2% - What the unemployment rate would be if we had the same number of people either working or looking for work now as we did when Obama took office.

• 14.7% - The U-6 unemployment rate, which includes all of those who are unemployed and under-employed (part-time workers who want full-time work).

• 39 - The average number of weeks that workers find themselves out of the jobs market (the long-term unemployed).

• 43 - The number of consecutive months with joblessness above 8%.

• 63.5% - The current labor participation rate, which is the lowest share of Americans over age 16 in the workforce since September 1981.

• 2025 - If we continue to create jobs at a rate of just 96,000 per month, it will take until 2025 just to return to pre-recession unemployment levels.

• 41,000 – The number of jobs created for the prior two months were revised lower by 41,000 jobs.

• 96,000 - The total number of nonfarm jobs created in August.

• 119,000 - There were 119,000 fewer Americans employed in August than there were in July.

• 173,000 – The increase in the number of food stamp recipients for the last month for which we have data (June). Compare that to the number of jobs being created …

• 250,000 - The number of jobs per month needed to have significant job creation impact and bring down the unemployment rate.

• 368,000 - The number of Americans who dropped out of the labor force in August.

• 5 million – The number of jobs still needed to get back to the point where we were in the end of 2007.

• 20 million - The number of unemployed, underemployed and discouraged workers who’ve left the labor force altogether.

• 31 million – That’s the population growth since 2000, yet fewer Americans are working today than in April 2000.

Labor's SDS numbers for unemployed, part time wanting full time and long term unemployed not getting benefits is 23%. Seems like it should be even higher.

Add to that another 7.2 trillion under Trump and he never saved an economy.
We got nothing for it but under your logic it's no problem to pay it back.
You're delusional.

Trump never added $7 trillion to the debt, the Democrats did. Stop lying.
