NO .....I hired 4 people this month......times are getting better

Job market sucks in Texas. I'm trying to find a different job.

I have 12 years experience, a degree and while I do have a decent job now, I have not had a single reply. Pretty scary when you are on top of your game and cannot find a job.

I still have a job but I don't know for how long....with Obama care coming, everybody in the medical industry is nervous.

Only time will tell.

Thanks Bob!

NO...they are not.

The layoffs and firings outnumber the hirings.
THAT is the root problem.


Month over month.....it's just headed into hell.

Part time hookers don't count.

^THIS

I live in Oregon. City Government just laid off a lot of people...more than I have seen in 15 years.

Its bad around here. If you dont have a job your fucked because your not going to get one unless you have TONS of experience and willing to take a HUGE pay cut and work for next to nothing... With crappy benefits and nowhere near 40 hours a week....

hey.....it's obamacare...the cost of covering those people went up and i bet u those laid off were over the of ...50..i turn sixty and go shit canned...and i was employee of the year...the lay offs are occuring 50-45 days before a new quarter...the preiums are determine based on the employee population 45 days before the beginnng of a new quarter....getting canned out side that 45 days u won't be counted in the equation that calculate the preium...

Not good where I am. The goverment can blow all the smoke up your ass they want, those of us that know, we know. The majority of people I know, and there are exceptions, were much better off in 2008.

Thanks Jay, its about time people see what is happening.

Some 342,000 people dropped out of the labor force to mark the second decline in a row, the Labor Department said Friday.

Now we just need 300,000 companies like yours each month, and we will break even.

What city in Oregon, if I may ask?

Also around here you have almost no chance if you dont go through temp agency/employment agency.

Does your hoes take EBT card?

My stock is up 5% lol

And it can swing way the other way, overnight.

ALL kinds of ads for now hiring but the only fone calls are the creditors.

it gets old after awhile you think your getting a call for a job and its the bank wanting thier money.

or better yet another setup from a millionair employer
"got plagerism?"

everybody is "ONBORED" these days

now you have to have a steller facbok page to even be considered for subway sandwhces position.

I live in Northern California, one of the worst states in terms of being hit hard by the recesssion. the unemployment rate is higher here than in most part of the country.

We have an indian casino about 3 miles from our house and every time I go in there the place is absolutely packed to the max - you can't find an empty machine or table anywhere. There are other casinos in the area as well and they are always crowded.

If the economy is so bad, you would never know it, as there are thousands of people around here that have enough disposable income to throw it away gambling.

Sssshhh! All is good. Isn't it?

We have all seen situations like this. Do you think maybe people ate just at wits ends and trying for some luck?

Thats what I think.

it's really weird, olive garden used to be crappy and cheap, it's still crappy, but now became very expensive, yet the one by me is always packed with a long wait filled with jolly folks eating and drinking like it was free

very true, i live in Tacoma WA and we have 4 big casino's within 20 miles and they are ALWAYS packed. sad thing is that a lot of the people are gambling their unemployment checks, welfare and child support. I have 3 years clean from a compulsive gambling addiction....those casino's are the only buisness profiting from this shitty economy. everyone is "chasing the big win" its rather sad, i feel its the next epidemic, although its also the best kept secret.

The medical industry is nervous? HA!

you a pimp?
