Stimulus Spending And Job Growth: Update 8

Well, here we are again. Sorry this update is a bit late. I will try to be more timely next month. Let's look at the jobless numbers for January, and update my predictions.

In June I wrote an article called "Stimulus Spending And Job Growth". In the article, I pointed out that Barack Obama said his stimulus package would create approximately 4 million "new jobs" over two years. He also said the unemployment rate would not exceed 8%. In order to create 4 million jobs in 24 months, the Obama administration would have had to create approximately 166,667 jobs per month to reach this target, assuming linear job growth. That scenario is shown as violet in the following graph.

As of June, when I wrote the article, the trend in job growth was actually negative. So I developed a curve showing what I thought might be a more "Likely" scenario -- plotted as light blue in the following graph. As you can see from the graph, the actual trend of job losses is somewhat worse than I had predicted -- plotted as yellow and red. The unemployment rate has dropped to 9.7%, but only because more people dropped out of the job market in January. The jobless rate continues to generally follow the trajectory I had envisioned in June...



I have revised the November and December job figures according to the latest data from the US Dept of Labor. In November 64,000 jobs were created versus the 4,000 previously reported. In December 85,000 jobs were lost. And in January, another 20,000 jobs were lost.

President Obama has already blown his promise to keep unemployment under 8%. And his ability to create 4 million new jobs in 24 months is fast fleeting. Instead of having to create 166,667 new jobs per month, which he originally needed to reach his target, he now needs to create 517,461 jobs per month -- in order to make up for the nearly 2.8 million jobs that have been lost since the stimulus bill was signed.

Good luck Mr. President. We're all rooting for you... NOT!

Dossier Links

I never could have imagined that my video "Dossier" would get over a million views and 1450 comments! I am in utter disbelief and amazement. Unfortunately, I had to pull the video on Sunday when the number of views got somewhat over 1,074,000. I was contacted by Martin Lindhe, the artist known as Bassic, whose background music I was using. He asked me to remove the video on the basis of copyright infringement, or face legal proceedings. So naturally, I pulled the video. Sigh...

I decided to produce another version of the video called "Dossier3", along with a companion video called "Dossier3withComments". In the new video, I use a different soundtrack, and have edited some of the material. The companion video provides additional commentary as well as links to all my sources. The new videos should be up soon. The companion video directs viewers to this blog article.

Here then, is my list of links that will be found in the new video...

Success for Obama Dossier

I was pleasantly surprised to learn that as of a few minutes ago, my video "Dossier" has been viewed 10,245 times. I uploaded the video to YouTube less than a month ago, and as you might expect, viewership was slow at first. Then it took off pretty dramatically in the last couple of days.


Click to enlarge

According to YouTube's statistics, it has received 37 ratings with an average rating of 4.86 out of 5. The video has been embedded on Facebook, CitizenWells.Wordpress.Org, and Radaractive.blogspot.com (thanks Radar!). It has been linked to by CommieBlaster.com, BigGovernment.com, and TheFoxNation.com. It has received referrals from various e-mail services including AOL and Yahoo. And to me, one of the most interesting statistics is that at least 79 people first viewed the video from a mobile device. The video is most popular with males between the ages of 55-64, followed oddly enough, by males between the ages of 13-17.

According to the following map, the video is most popular by far in the US, but has been viewed in a number of other countries (denoted by light green) including: Canada, Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Australia, South Africa, India, Iraq, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, the Philippines, Spain, France, Italy, Austria, Norway, Sweden, and the UK. There may be others, but the scale of the map is too small to see clearly.


Viewing Locations

I'd like to thank all of you who shared this video with your friends. I wouldn't exactly say it's gone "viral" yet, but it's a pretty big deal for me nonetheless. (:D) Thanks for "Viewing".

UPDATE 1: As of Tuesday, February 16th, the number of views was over 104,000.

UPDATE 2: As of Thursday, February 18th, the number of views was over 534,000.

UPDATE 3: As of Sunday, February 21st, the number of views was over 1,074,000. However, I received a message on Facebook from Martin Lindhe the artist known as Bassic whose background music I was using. He asked me to remove the video on the basis of copyright infringements. I have complied with his request.
