Good Jobs Numbers in April
 

"The U.S. economy added a solid 223,000 jobs in April, according to government data released Friday morning, a key sign that the labor market is regaining its footing after taking a slide earlier this year.
The unemployment rate fell to 5.4 percent, a seven-year low." WaPo

After last month's shitty numbers, this is good news.

Only for some. :D

Not to worry.

Republican Party Spokesperson Ben Carson is setting everyone straight. :rolleyes:

I am hiring part time for the summer.

No medical. No dental. No pension. No matching 401 anything.

The paychecks don't bounce and I am the best boss EVER.

Take it or leave it.

I didn't realize that 'catamitry' was still a job description in the Palmetto state. ;)

Oh, snap.

It's a tough row to hoe down here.

:eek:
I should have known that any word that ends in 'mite' is suspect.

No one really knows how many people are working/unemployed.

Everyone divines the #s to suit their own purposes.

Alchemy.

I am employed, so as far as I'm concerned the unemployment rate is 0%.

Jus' funnin' with ya ;).

Has Miss Lindsey scheduled his 'Coming Out' ball yet? :rolleyes:

Don't you mess with Graham Cracker - his office got off their ass and straightened out my wife's immigration mess (caused by INS now CIS).
He actually called us and it wasn't an election year.

I am loyal - me not having to live full time in Bulgaria buys that.

You need to work on keeping your stories straight.

You're cornered like a rat by irrefutable evidence and so you are going to that old standby tactic of trying to deflect with a joke. We have another conservative poster here that tries that trick too. It doesn't work for him, and it won't for you either.

We don't want him, let him hang out with Roy Cohn.

You are the most suspicious person I know.

I don't want anyone telling me where we have to live - if we go, it's because we want to.

Man - everything is not political with me.

The economy is doing much better - I am glad more people have jobs.

And I really am hiring for the summer.

Good luck then, folks need work that pays fairly.

"I'm doing fine. To Hell with everyone else."

A. I am fine.

B. That is an unusual assumption to make from my post.

C. Re-read A and B.

You could have asked.

"Hey cats, does your post infer you are just a f*&king old crab who doesn't give a sh*t about anyone, or were you expressing disgust about the wild variations in employment statistics?"

But, hey - maybe you didn't give a sh*t - it's aaallll good, Cracker Jack.

I hire mostly from the College of Charleston - a great job for college kids - I am entirely too flexible and a pushover.

They are great kids and work hard, but they make too much money and spend it on beer.

A. The post may imply. The reader may infer.
B. You stated 'I am employed ==> employment rate zero.'
C. Reads like a quite unambiguous logical proposition. No inference necessary.

No, you were trying to deflect.

The economy is doing better under Obama in spite of the Republicans full court press to sabotage it. That's the point of this thread.

Not the fact that you are trying to hire some cheap labor to clear out the 30 foot long vines in your yard.

You are correct, of course - embarrassing.

I really have no idea why I like you people.

There is obviously something wrong with me.

"It's because deep down inside in places you don't talk about at parties you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall."

Hmmm. I think it has more to do with me being an old reformed hippie with a couple of liberal arts degrees - I have an affinity for the misguided individuals of the world, flawed though their politics may be . . .
