NC jobs Obama vs Bush 6 year comparison, Labor force participation and percent of population employed plummet, Feb 2007 compared to Feb 2015

From the Citizen Wells article earlier today.

“Many of the left wing web sites, in their efforts to prop up Obama, have compared the performance of the Bush presidency to Obama’s. They typically compare the 8 years of Bush to the current Obama stats. Of course what they fail to mention is that the Democrats controlled both houses of congress the last 2 years of Bush.

Here is a more fair, more realistic comparison.

The first 6 years of Bush compared to the first 6 of Obama.”

Here is the impact on jobs in NC.

February 2007 to February 2015.

Labor force participation rate.

Feb 2007 66.0 percent.

Feb 2015  60.4.

That is a drop of 5.6 percent!

Employment to population rate.

Feb 2007 63.0 percent.

Feb 2015 57.2.

That is a plummet of 5.8 percent!!

Don’t take my word for it.

Look it up.
