Thanks for Pin

The unemployment rate dropped to 6.7 percent, below economist estimates and due primarily to continued shrinkage in the labor force. The labor force participation rate tumbled to 62.8 percent, its worst level since January 1978.

The monthly job creation was the worst in nearly two years.

A broader measure of unemployment that includes discouraged and underemployed workers held steady at 13.1 percent.

Hope!
Change!
Believe!

Economy is fucked plain and simple.

I am hiring. :~)

Got the sign out.
Trouble is no one wants entry level to learn a trade.
We either get laborers or plant managers.

Where's that 20-something eager, energetic, smart person who can pass a drug test & show up on time long term?

Area hospitals have just started laying people off in VA

layoffs by way of early retirement (paid redundancy), and share work for all of the recently graduated teachers and nurses with 4 year degrees.....

i work from home at 40-ish, as overqualified in both health and education as i cost, by government decree, $65 per hour.....

Not just in the U.S., but globally.

agreed, hey! lets all go and decomission fukushima....

GREEN SHOOTS, baby!!! Fundamental transformation is fantastic. /s

Unemployment rate going down. Yay!

ugh... its sad

We lost 8.1 m jobs in 2008 and 2009. We have only gained 7.5 from 2010-2013. we are still 600 k from the 2007 level. So since 2008 things have not changed.

2013 ends with weakest job growth in years - CNN:

Correction: We lost 8.7 jobs in 2008 & 2009, if you believe the Bureau of Labor & Statistics

You forgot FORWARD!

Problem is people are so used to the layoffs, its like second nature.

Can't stop caring or talking about it or we will have no economy.

its ugly business out there. People are better off creating their own job. As for passing a Pee test, that's all part of the deal isn't it? SO many smoking pot now, they can't pass a test cause it is in their Fat cells, unlike Cocaine or other drugs that quickly leave the system.

this is just another way to creating separation.

Where are you located and what is the trade?

Yeah, I think the pee test for pot is archaic and outdated.

And that is if those numbers are accurate.

The thing is, even if we gained, truthfully, 8.1M jobs, we'd still be short 200k X 48 months (the amount each month to keep up with population).

Houston. Very specialized mechanic. Sorry I won't be more specific here. The job market here is pretty good, from the lack of good applicants.

Macy's cut 2500 jobs a few days ago. Happy New Year!!!

First Med/Med Corp EMS closed up here in Ohio several weeks ago. Call went out in the middle of a shift to bring the ambulance back in and turn in all equipment. Without any warning what so ever 2300 employees lost their jobs. This happened 2 weeks before Christmas.

Very interesting point you make

Looking at the pins, good to see people actually care

that was just the holiday part timers

So old desperate men aren't a good applicant?

Why do they need to be 20?

It was actually a few stores too.
