W.F. moves 30 $28.00 per hr. jobs from Mini., Mn. to S.A., TX. @ $12.00. You now have 30 new employees to report, until next week when the Mini., Mn. report shows up, but even then you have no decrease in employment. Everything is just fine. Profits are up. How many companies do this every week? Political donations are up. Everything is ok.
Enjoy! Your C.C. and Government working hand in hand.
You have the right to continue voting just like you did the last time. Don’t forget the business after hours Wednesday.
I can understand why. We have the highest corporate tax rate in the world. We also have unions with an instatiable appetite for freebies. Add massive regulations and PC mind control laws to the mix, and it's a recipe for disaster.
Who in their right mind would want to build industries or businesses here when they can go anywhere in the world and actually be welcomed?
Everything is looking great, we just heard that my area is getting a new business to occupy the building where a plant shut down. The new business will be packaging Cambodian rice, glory, glory, glory! No, I didn’t make it up we are going from manufacturing to packaging imported rice.
The Baby Boomers are what fueled the massive growth in labor force participation which began in the 1960's as they started getting out of college. Now, 50 years later, they are starting to retire. What will be interesting to see is how the Millennial cohort (bigger than Baby Boomers and twice as big as Gen X) will impact the participation rate going forward. In some instances you have baby Boomers that are postponing retirement until later which squeezes out younger workers from taking their place. this will be interesting to watch.
Well, you stated related to claims that “You need to get to about 160,000 to see any significant growth in the economy or a stabilizing labor market.” That hasn’t happened ever so that statement is invalid. The statements on this thread that the employment situation is not improving are inaccurate as claims are actually below normal as defined by a long-run average.
You have Cringing Negativism down to a science.
Stop taxing corporations out the ying-yang. Stop the governmental regulations out the butt. And lst, but not least, let the market dictate wages and benefits, not unions and governments.
“Even with the slight rise, the level remains below the 400,000 that economists believe is the threshold indicating a strengthening labor market.”
400,000????
That number used to be 350,000. Then it was 375,000. Now 400,000?
Talk about changing the bar.
That’s an interesting take I was thinking it was driven by increased female participation during the same timeframe.
A JOB??? Uh, well, thanks for the offer, comrade, but, uh, as you may know being a revolutionary is a full time job. I have to spend all of my time blogging for my fearless leader and...Mom, I can't talk now, I'm posting on the internet... sorry about that. Anyway, I tend to look at my revolutionary status as a lifestyle anyway, as "jobs" are so capitalist sounding.
This was expected, right?
BS. The manufacturing jobs have been moved to Red China. There are more people in the Red Chinese manufacturing sector then there are in our entire workforce. And Red China makes all the latest high tech products using the latest manufacturing processes.
Our government can force the US Corporations that moved their operations to Red China to move them back here simply by taxing them into oblivion if they fail to comply. American Corporations that want to do business inside the US should not be allowed put American out of work to take advantage of cheap Third World labor.
Free Trade Communists have absolutely ruined this country.
Can someone find for me just one, ONE, of these genius economists who believe that progress is being made when layoffs are constantly, perenially, higher than new hires? Layoffs have been between 300 and 400 K / month for years but new hires have held in the 100K zone for less than that. The numbers are misrepresented by Obamafan propagandists, trying to “talk a good story” and there is just no other real explanation for this commiekrap.
Well, let me know if you ever make it out of the basement. Say “HI!” to your mom for me, and let her know I’ll be at the Motel 6 at the usual time.
;-)
You or I won't "make" Americans anything.
The optimum outcome would be getting enough government out of the way to allow Americans to make something of themselves.
If you want to start taxing imports, or penalizing companies that do business overseas, or penalizing the successful in general, then you ought to start sending your little exhortations (Bring back American jobs!) to the Obama administration.
They think along the same lines you do.
Manufacturing output as a percent of GDP has remained stable (another fact)
The definition of productivity output per unit of labor.
Therefore productivity has been improving over that timeframe.
