Other than turnover in bars, eateries and retail cashiers...there are no jobs "for real" in the US economy...
Of course there will always be very specialized situations where job hopping can occur...but the notion of a "jobs boom" is just nonsense...
If there are so many "jobs" why is the labor force participation rate so low...? Why do thousands show up for a couple hundered low wage jobs at a new Walmart...?
And why are people living off savings for the first time since the Great Depression...
IF THE GOVERNMENT LIED ABOUT IRAQ...AMONG OTHER THINGS...WHY SHOULD WE BELIEVE THEIR "JOBS LIE" WHICH WE CAN SEE TO BE FALSE WITH OUR OWN EYES...ON MAIN STREET EVERY DAY!
Consider this quote:
"It's very hard to capture all the employment that takes place at small companies and new businesses," said Wachovia's Vitner. "The BLS tries to incorporate new business start-ups, but the economy is always changing. For example, young people are much more likely to go out and start a new business today than they were in the past."
ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE GIVING UP ON "FINDING A JOB" AND ARE SIMPLY "STARTING BUSINESSES" TO OCCUPY THEIR TIME... THIS CAN BE GOOD FOR SOME, BUT IT IS USUALLY BAD FOR MOST...
WERE THE "APPLE SELLERS" OF THE DEPRESSION ..."SELF EMPLOYED...?"
AFTER A FASHION YES... BUT THAT IS NOT THE KIND OF SELF EMPLOYMENT THAT IS USUALLY CONSIDERED HEALTHY FOR THE ECONOMY... AT LEAST UNTIL NOW!
