This news is being buried in the Main Stream Media. 119,000 is 2380 average per state, not a positive sign for the economy.
Not necessarily. Hordes of foreigners are coming into the country and accepting measly pay for jobs in science and technology. One of our sons had to settle for years of low-paying post doc grant funded jobs, and he has a doctorate in toxicology. Everybody is having trouble finding work in Obama’s socialist utopia.
I empathize for your son’s situation. Yet I still maintain a marketable education is one that is desired amongst the capitalistic movers and shakers of this economy.
Granted, a PHD in toxicology on its face seems marketable, but where? In what context? You have to admit, Obama-sympathized or controlled media certainly does their own specious science - perhaps some of what they misinform the masses about includes toxicology....
Science and truth doesn’t matter to them. Only goals - their goals. And those goals aren’t remotely related to “science”.....I give you Global Warming or only a few of the CDC’s ideologically biased “studies” as an example.
I’m not sure how much education means in our current economic situation. The people who are finding jobs are those with work experience, and particularly, those who know how to do something, as opposed to just knowing something.
People who are experienced and know how to cut hair, repair things, operate complex machinery, for example, will always be in demand. Considering our slide into socialism, they may have to participate in the underground economy to make a living, but their skills will always be in demand.
People who are educated, but not skilled are the ones who are going to be in trouble when everything falls apart.
BTW, our son has a good job now with a company supplying research material for pharmaceutical companies (not that I really understand what he does), but who knows what will happen when Obamacare is fully implemented? I can’t believe people in this country are giving up the best medical care in the world for 3rd world socialized medicine.
Ha, if he did vote for Obama, I’m going to smack him the next time I see him!
No, he didn’t. :-)
I am glad your son found a job that is meaningful and applicable to his discipline.
Also, before I retired 15 months ago, I ran an engineering division of about 34-35 engineers. All masters and PhD educated. The last PhD I hired out of school with no work experience took the offer at $90K+ The lowest salary I had for any of my people was in the $65-70K range - fresh out of school.
Yeah...you could see the pixel change where the rewritten lines were added...
