OK, yes, there may have been some effect as a result of the storm, but 78,000??? Over the PAST week?? Please.
People are not fired because of a storm. This is simply the effect of reelecting a Marxist with nothing to lose. Now it’s Obamas job to make people so miserable that they will agree with giving up their rights for relief. The Alinski model...
Libs (and some dumb-ass conservatives) have ALWAYS claimed that these disasters are GOOD for employment — look at all the roofers now in demand the story goes.
Nope. NJ had the most Sandy related claims followed by CT, but NY actually dropped. Net claims caused by Sandy were about 5,000. MI, OH, PA, MD, NC, and WA all had over 1000 and were not hurricane related with about 21K in claims.
So yeah, the headline is BS. Surprise surprise.
Boortz just said that most of the layoffs were in Ohio and PA, respectively. I don’t recall the storm affecting Ohio. Oh, and many of the layoffs were in the auto industry. How’s that bailout working for you auto workers in Ohio?
