wealth, take my word for it. the economy slips into recession if this does not pass, but, i do think it stays sluggish and stagnant if this does not pass. alisyn: that was wrong, he said i don t think the economy slip interests recession. alisyn: the point is joe biden is sometimes off message. so now it is not just the president worried, but, also, his top economic adviser who went on the shows yesterday to talk about the double dip. dave: and on grid s job numbers 103,000 jobs created and half of those, 35,000 verizon workers returning from strike. clayton: many hopes this would be the month to put in new hiring with buying ticking up but still, for hires because
talks abgolden shovels, bulldozers, hard hats, et cetera. he writes angrily, how hard is this? what is he waiting for? we ll discuss this breaking news with the panel in just a few minutes. we re still scouring through all of the documents. the nation unemployment rate is stuck at 9.1%. while the labor department reports 103,000 workers were hired in helicopter, many are finding it hard to get a job because some companies won t hire the unemployed. correspondent mik mike tobin los at the possible solution raising eyebrows. outrage over the online hiring ads. dozens state they only want to fill job vacancies with people who already have jobs. we were surprised to find well over 100 ads that explicitly stated that the unemployed won t be considered. certainly, if you see 100 ads you know it s probably happening in thousands more. reporter: critics label it discrimination against the unemployed. activists say it unfairly
through, even within the administration they tried to stop this and it worked in the end, they were able to cut off the final amount of money that the department of energy wanted to put through but in the beginning it was pushed and push hard. simply because they believed in it. not for empirical reason or evidence it would succeed. they had some information it wasn t going to succeed, which is probably the biggest problem. also what has come out now in the e-mails, you see back and forth where energy, secretary chu is trying to get more money for them. at least the white house pushed back on that and said no. but why was secretary chu trying to give them more none? bret: yeah. we re going to continue to dig. really quick down the row here, 9.1% unemployment remains. the september jobs numbers, 103,000 jobs added in september. 14 million roughly americans are unemployed. the underemployment went up, 16.5%. overall, take on this report today? it s better than people expect which h
in the crops. they re facing a major worker shortage. how many harvested? 85 to 90. and now? 40 to 45. those same state farmers say they aren t seeinged influx of american workers to their job sites since that law took effect. september s jobless report beat analyst forecasts. the 103,000 jobs added is no big win for president obama. i spoke with msnbc contributor and emergen morning joe regula barnicle and how he found himself fighting for his job. the thing that sort of mystified me about the obama presidency, first of all, personally, i like him. uh-huh. i think most americans do, by the way. say they like him. i ll say i like him. as an american citizen, i want limb to succeed. he s my president. he s our president. right. but i couldn t understand why
say anything that shakes confidence in any way but at the same time he somehow has to inspire urgency. how should he do that? well, i think doing it exactly the way he s done it and that is by being very clear with the american people about the magnitude of the problem but also optimistic if we take steps we can overcome this problem. i mean, 103,000 new jobs for september may sound pretty good, but you need 125,000 just to keep up with the growth of the population. so we are still in the hole. we may be making a little progress but hole is getting deeper. even as we are climbing out. the president needs a jobs plan. america needs a jobs plan. it s not going to go very far. most of the analysis of this jobs plan says it s going to create maybe 2 million jobs. remember, we have 25 million americans who are in search of full-time employment, but at least it s a step in the right direction and republicans continue to say, as they have for years now, no.
