The Democrat's economic plan must be for the government to depend on a more temporary private sector. For those looking for work, don't wait for Democrat's stated intent of improving the economy, get out and make it happen for yourself. And don't discount a lower paying job closer to where you live, travel is getting even more expensive too, and cash for clunkers has raised the prices on used cars, let alone gas, oil changes and repairs...

Obama did NOTHING but jobs more difficult to create. He then encouraged dependency through food stamps and disability.

Think this is Obama trying hard to create jobs? Read about the Soviet Union and Communist China. BY DESIGN!

Love this economist’s charts, even though they are depressing.

Do they define “temporary”? My employer is a fast growing outsourcing firm, a consulting firm. The Fortune 50 client is trying to hire employees but can’t find any willing and able to do the job. While the consulting firms can find at least a few of them...although many jobs remain unfilled after 7 months desperately trying to fill them.

Don’t confuse outsourcing with offshoring. We in the outsourcing business are here in the USA.

But unlike my client, many companies seem to prefer outsourcing due to the downside of healthcare and the 1/1/2013 cliff on taxes, regulations, etc.

More than 25,000 of those jobs came in temporary "help services" positions.

Well, DUH! It's summertime! Kids are home from college, or are off high school for the summer. It will be interesting to see the jobs report in September, when those are not around, anymore.
