'Americans Are Finally Returning To The Workforce'
"It’s happening. The improving job market is drawing Americans back into the labor force.
The U.S. labor force grew by 555,000 people in February, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said Friday. It was the biggest one-month increase in more than a year and, more importantly, was the fifth straight increase, the longest such streak since the recession began more than eight years ago. The labor force participation rate — the share of the adult population that’s either working or actively looking for work — rose two-tenths of a percentage point to 62.9 percent, its highest level in over a year." http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/march-jobs-report/ This on top of 65 straight months of positive private sector job growth and a 4.9 unemployment rate exposes the lie that the "Obama-conomy' is a failure. |

What about stagnant wages, horrendous wealth inequality, the war on organized labor, etc.? I give Obama credit for fixing some of the catastrophe W. left us, but the system is still very much broken. Time for some major changes, but it looks like that's not going to happen anytime soon.

there is a big window manufacturer near me that will require you work at least 60 hours a week, and I mean nonstop every second work with 2-10 minute breaks and a half hour lunch. they will charge you $8 for 50 cents worth of lettuce (salad)and they have their own DRs office like a work camp! you will also be expected to lift 150 pounds repeatedly all day long. people there think they are lucky cause those SOBs are paying them $10 an hour. I did it for 3 weeks before I told em to go to hell. as a union job this would be a $20 dollar an hour job or more easily. did I mention that recently some Chinese investors bought a huge chunk of said company? Obama's helped but the economy is still kinda shitty for regular folks.

Sound exactly like the Chinese factory model.

Industrial feudalism, the regressives' dream goal. And they keep voting for their rapists.

NO, HE IS NOT. If the comments that bastard made in Detroit last year didn't show you exactly what he is, you're hopeless. Anyone who could look around at that mess and comment that it makes sense as a "business strategy" to deliberately starve a city or a state until they submit is a tyrant. Plain and simple. |

If Bernie cannot fix it, then Trump will tear it down and lay the foundation bare for the next president to fix it. (Hillary is just more of the same old shit) Regarding : "it makes sense as a "business strategy" to deliberately starve a city or a state until they submit "; that has been the american business model towards the american blue collar worker for four decades now. Starve them until they submit.... |
