I've worked two jobs most of my 45 years in construction ....not complaining....I was told and believed that's how you get ahead and that's how I paid my mortgage off and raised two kids. I tell my kids the same......"if you want to get ahead....you will need to work a lot more than 40 hrs. a week!

Conservatives are afraid of a women who has yet won election. and if so is 1 voice in Congress . But they are not worried or Afraid of the Current POTUS , and his actions and behavior and Policies
As much as Jim says the certain people are responsible for Trump . Trump is responsible for this kind of candidate
Trumps gives Business promising free money , wants 100% Depreciation " I don't have to please Wall Street, and so I appreciate depreciation. For me the relevant issue isn't what I report on the bottom line, it's what I get to keep" equals guaranteed income. yet no suggestions how to pay for it

I think the Democratic Party fears her more than the Republican Party does. The more popular she becomes the more fragmented the Democrats become.

Exactly. I'm tempted to donate to her campaign. The more prominent and visible she is, the better the GOP will do in November.
SHE is the one headlining fundraisers? A 26 year old who hasn't done a thing with her life? Trump's election was 18 months ago, and this is the best the democrats have got to trot out? Unbelievable. Where is their bench?

"Conservatives are afraid of a women who has yet won election"
You could not be more wrong. I love her, I hope she gets the nomination to run for POTUS, maybe with Maxine Waters as her running mate. I think she's a moron, that doesn't mean I'm afraid of her. It's Nancy Pelosi, and the democratic establishment, who are afraid, because they know she's a ditz who will have zero appeal outside of NYC or San Francisco. Pelosi has spoken against her, because she knows this woman is going to hurt the party.
"Trump is responsible for this kind of candidate"
Oh I agree! It's evidence of how severely he has broken their brains. The GOP response to Obama, was the Tea Party. And this woman, is the left's response to Trump? We will see which pays better political dividends, but we all already know what the answer will be.

Who has the broken brain? She won a primary for the Congressional district that includes Brooklyn and you are comparing it to a national response like the tea party. Oh man, Jim...

She thinks that if I take a second job, unemployment goes down. She said the Jews invaded Palestine. he thinks that there is such a thing as "free" college. Forgive me, I don't think she should be writing federal law.
I did not compare one primary result to the national tea party creation. I compared the fact that the DNC is sending her to fundraisers all over the country, to the GOP tea party response. She is THE hottest rising star on the left right now, and it's a joke.

10 jobs are available only 5 people work those 10 jobs 2 jobs each p
the rate of unemployment of those 10 jobs is reported as Zero
Same 10 Jobs same 5 people only working 1 of the 10 whats reported ??? it has an effect most likely statistically insignificant..
kinda of like your argument Warren pay equals higher cost to students most likely statistically insignificant. you were selling ..... but her Ideas crazy ok

The number of jobs isn't an ingredient of the unemployment calculation. Unemployment is, roughly speaking...
the number of people looking for work who are not employed...
divided by...
the number of people working, plus (I think) the number of people looking but not working.
If everyone who works takes a second job, that doesn't change the unemployment percentage. because no one is now working, who was previously unemployed.
unemployment decreases, when someone who wasn't working yesterday, gets a job today.

If one professor is making huge money for not much work, that doesn't add much cost to tuition. If lots of them make huge money, that is a huge driver of cost.
I never said Warren is the only one. She's just the only one hypocritical enough to demand huge money for almost no work, and simultaneously crying about how hard it is for kids to afford to college.

you couldn't possibly be more wrong.

What are the basic concepts of employment and unemployment?
The basic concepts involved in identifying the employed and unemployed are quite simple:
People with jobs are employed.
People who are jobless, looking for a job, and available for work are unemployed.
The labor force is made up of the employed and the unemployed.
People who are neither employed nor unemployed are not in the labor force.
Is there only one official definition of unemployment?
There is only one official definition of unemployment— people who are jobless, actively seeking work, and available to take a job, as discussed above. The official unemployment rate for the nation is the number of unemployed as a percentage of the labor force (the sum of the employed and unemployed).
