Jobs engine


Folks, we got a sputtering jobs engine. The unemployment rate is a 9.2% now. It could go over ten soon. Economists call this a job less recovery. Problem is without jobs there is no revenue. That means you cannot get a meaningful recovery to occur. State see a drop in sales tax income. Mostly it is because workers have to take more cuts in pay. Businesses are hiring workers from over seas. Certainly, this helps them trim expenses. However, it causes structural unemployment in america to rise.

What Jobs?


Folks, politicians say all is fine, but where are jobs now? OK so many ask - what jobs? There are so few in the newspaper. It is like the classified section is shrinking every year. Actually, some who blame the internet and craigslist for this issue. Politicians gloss over the lack of jobs claiming this is a jobless recovery. Basically, there are none.

What Jobs?


Politicians are saying that there are now more jobs in america... Well, many of these new jobs there were created last month were temporary positions to work in the US census. lets face it in March 2010 long term unemployment surges. It hit a record of 6.5 million people without work for years. Sadly, for those still working there has been a drop in average wages. I predict that the number of long tern unemployed will continue to rise. This is not good jobs news.

Jobs in our recession

People there are no easy solutions and this recession is not over. True our prez pretends that all is well, but hell where are jobs? OK many people who found new jobs have been forced to take steep cuts in pay. This prez is clueless on jobs. Real unemployment is not 10% but more like 20% and rising.

Jobless claims at half a million


It troubles me to say it, but half a million americans lost their jobs last week. Jobless claim were unchanged last week. Sadly, companies continue to shed jobs. What we need is job gains.

As american industry is shut down and move to china, fewer people can find jobs. The deinstrialization of USA is causing hardship to many workers. It is a foregone conclusion that politicians will do nothing except play the blame game.

gov says recession is over


The good news is we are using less fossil fuels. Of course this means less greenhouse gases are generated. However, the reason is our severe economic recession. Well, now we hear from our gov that our recession is over.

Folks, that would be max grand, but the avalanche is just getting started with a massive loss of jobs next year. For a real recovery to take place we need people to have jobs so the can save money. All this borrow and spend got us to where we are now.

jobs in short supply

The numbers are in, retail sales are down, unemployment in rise. OK, we should expect as much because our gov wants us to pull out of a steep nose dive, but with higher taxes and less jobs, sales will go down. Also, lower sales mean more jobs will not take place, in fact, fewer jobs down the line.
