From the Labor Department reports:
The number of women not participating in the workforce was up 394,000 from August, when 56,253,000 women were out of the workforce.
National numbers of people not participating in the work force experienced a similar trend, increasing in September to a record 94,610,000 Americans — both men and women — out of the labor force.
For those women participating in the workforce 69,665,000 had jobs and 3,648,000 were unemployed. The unemployment rate for women was 5.0.
Are those the true numbers? Or is the criteria they use including women who have tried and given up looking for a job? Do they include women who have been unemployed over a certain amount of time? The answer is no, these women are not included. And it goes for the whole nation not just women.
Overall, if you are “under employed” meaning if you are a teacher but can only find work as a substitute, or if you want to work full time, but can only find work part time work, you are not included. So what is the real unemployment rate in America?
Jim Gallup, the CEO of the famous Gallup Poll had this to say about unemployment in America:
There’s no other way to say this. The official unemployment rate, which cruelly overlooks the suffering of the long-term and often permanently unemployed as well as the depressingly underemployed, amounts to a Big Lie.
The US is not in recovery. The best “true” rate of unemployment overall, which women are the leading biggest segment, is difficult to guess. Gallup can give us a clue with this data and statement:
Gallup defines a good job as 30+ hours per week for an organization that provides a regular paycheck. Right now, the U.S. is delivering at a staggeringly low rate of 44%, which is the number of full-time jobs as a percent of the adult population, 18 years and older. We need that to be 50% and a bare minimum of 10 million new, good jobs to replenish America’s middle class.

Republicans care about their campaign donors….. Not Americans that voted for them!!
Correct Be mad at Obama about this, he should be helping women more. These other BS Comments about Welfare, Illegals. it plain BS. Welfare has drop to it lowest 10 yrs. The problem lays and income. Many people are working longer hours or two jobs to make what they made five years ago. Many employers are using a loophole of cutting full-time employees making them part-time so they don’t have to pay health insurance.
If you really want to slam Obama this is one major F up The TPP Trade deal. http://www.msf.ca/en/article/the-negative-impact-on-public-health-will-be-enormous-statement-by-msf-on-the-conclusion-of

Hey Truth and Action, instead of your usual Obama bashing, start touting who in the republican camp you endorse and why their policies are going to be good. Start threads that have some intellect rather than most of the above with their simpleton rants.
