UNEMPLOYMENT IS DECLINING, hurrah, hurrah!

Except it’s not declining. The trend has been flat to slightly increasing for the last six months.

And from the comments:

I used to agree with the people who said it doesn’t matter who is president at the time – if the economy is good the Prez will take credit and if it’s a downturn the Prez is the fall-guy. But not this time. Not with this guy. Eating dinner last night with 4 other docs who have their own office based practices and are “small business owners” as I am – no one is hiring at all because of fear of Zero’s rules, regulations, and fines. And we all noticed how we used to sometimes have 6-7 pharm reps pass through per day and now you maybe see one or two a week.
Italics mine. I assume the author is a doctor. I’d be interested if he/she is seeing more or fewer patients now than pre-recession.
