Since People Only Read The Headlines...
I’m sure this will get a serious spin in an effort to make Democrats look good.
Unemployment rate falls in 39 states in June
“OMG! Like, really?! Take that you evil Rethuglicans! You said that St. Hope and Change and their ilk were doing harm to this country but look at those numbers! When did HaliburtonBush do anything like this?! Maybe you should take a backseat and let us Dems run the show, we know how to do it, idiots.”
Yah. So, let’s get to the rest of the story, mmmkay!??
The unemployment rate fell in most states in June, mainly because more people gave up searching for work and were no longer counted. ~emphasis mine
Er, yah. Now it doesn’t sound so damn peachy anymore does it? They GAVE UP looking for work because there ISN’T ANY WORK. Mr, “I’m Going To Bring Thousands and Thousands of Jobs to the American People” has failed. Failed!
I’ve been unemployed before and you know what? I never had to try that hard to find work. These people gave. up! That is NOT a good sign.
Fewer states saw job increases, the latest evidence that the economic recovery is slowing.
What economic recovery? Foreclosures, companies going under left and right, companies being taken over by the government, (my God), exactly what economic recovery are these windbags talking about? There hasn’t been an economic recovery. It’s been shit and continues to be shit. Some people are in denial, yes, spending money they don’t fucking have but overall, there is no recovery. I work in the tourist industry. There IS NO economic recovery. That’s one of the first places to look at how well the economy is doing and it ain’t doing well at all.
But only 21 states saw net job gains in June, the government said. That compared to 41 the previous month and is the fewest this year.
The decline in job creation reflects the layoff of thousands of temporary census workers. Those jobs inflated total payrolls in May and then reduced them in June.
The temporary ‘up in my personal business’ census workers inflated the numbers before but now that they are no longer needed, the numbers are back to accurate. And the census workers can kiss my ass, by the way. Twice they knocked on my door this year and once I told them to go fuck themselves and once I ignored them.
Still, the report also indicated that businesses aren’t hiring many new workers. Nationwide, private employers added a net gain of only 83,000 jobs last month. The national unemployment rate dropped to 9.5 percent in June from 9.7 percent the previous month, as about 650,000 people stopped looking for work.
No, businesses are not hiring new workers. My boss wants to hire two more people, at the least, but he won’t right now because the tourism industry is feeling the brunt of the “economic recovery” that doesn’t exist. Yes, it is normally slower in the summer time, yes but it’s much slower this year than it has ever been in the years I’ve been working here. People are not spending their money. We still do ok but we shouldn’t be looking like this until September. That’s when our “slow” season is supposed to be. Not April, May, June, July and August. So, until it picks up again, he won’t hire the two more that he wants to hire.
The economy is not recovering. People are not spending their money. Too many people are out of work and hardly any new jobs are being created. It’s so bad that people give up looking in 39 states. Shall we continue shoving our heads in the sand just so we can save face for voting for a reckless piece of shit in to office or shall we begin to face the truth? And I don’t see it getting better for some time.
Whatever job you do have, hang on to it. This is not the time to be unemployed.
