Long-Term Unemployment Rises in October to 40.6% | |
Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 26174514 United States 11/02/2012 11:04 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported last Tuesday that employers issued 1,316 “mass layoff actions” (affecting 50 workers or more) in September; more than 122,000 workers were affected overall. USA Today financial reporter Matt Krantz wrote that “(m)uch of the recent layoff activity is connected to what’s been the slowest period of earnings growth since the third quarter of 2009.” Some necessary restructuring is underway in response to the stagnant European economy. But more and more U.S. businesses are putting the blame — bravely and squarely — right where it belongs: on the obstructionist policies and regulatory schemes of the blame-shifter-in-chief.

I heard differently. I heard it's because "more people came in to the workforce." On a side note, I also heard that hurricane Sandy will increase GDP in the first quarter of next year, because of all the jobs it will create. Because, you know, depleting savings or borrowing money to rebuild what you already had makes one wealthier. Gotta love the Broken Window Fallacy and the MSM. |

There isn’t a single company or corporation in America or anywhere in the world, big or small, across all industry lines, who, if going through tough times would hire Barack Obama over Mitt Romney to give them the discipline, guidance, structure and accountability they would need to give them the best chance to save their business and turn things around. [...] 3. There isn’t one single company in America whose current liberal elite owner or CEO or Boards of Directors who contribute money personally and/or corporately to Barack Obama for their own self-interest, or go out on the campaign trail with him and support him publicly—whether it’s the lap dog Jeff Immelt at GE, or any of the Hollywood elite studio heads like Harvey Weinstein—who would hire Barack Obama over Mitt Romney to take the helm of their companies, either in good times or in bad, at any time in this lifetime or any other under any circumstances whatsoever. {...] It’s time to grow OUR capital and shrink the capital in D.C. It’s time to replace the ‘cool’ with ‘competent.’ It’s time to trade in the Lightweight for a Leader. Read more: [link to janmorganmedia.com] Thread: The Choice — Continued Pain or Capital Gains |
