The real Obama jobs index is worse than you thought

 

 

"[Reporting on the dismal jobs numbers] One of the additional stats which is extremely important, but particularly dismal, is the drop in median household income. During the height of the recession from 2007 to 2009, household income dropped $1,006 annually, as you might expect during such a crisis. But during the “recovery” from then until now, how much did it bounce back? It dropped an additional $2,535 per household

 

The “problem” in this country isn’t that we have too many rich people. The real crisis is that we have too many people who can’t get a decent job and miss out on the opportunity to climb the ladder. Obama has had more than a full term to turn things around, and yet his policies have led to increased poverty, not prosperity. Incomes are going down for the working class, not up. So if you want to fix “income inequality” in America, perhaps you should review the jobs data ....."
