You pretend to want a job, and we’ll pretend to have one for you.

Next, we’ll hear that Detroit is “turning around” under the great leadership of Obama and the Big Government Dems. Who believes any of this Democrat media swill?

Perfectly put.

“The midpoint wage of those 84,700 jobs was $12.05 an hour, meaning that half paid more, half paid less. DEED said 42 percent of the job vacancies were for part-time workers.”

Meaning that, adjusted for the REAL rate of inflation the hourly pay midpoint was worth about as much as the fifty cents an hour I was paid to maintain the tennis court at my high school after school hours back in 1961. $12.05 an hour is diddly squat now and half those jobs pay LESS and 42 percent are part-time which means what now, less than 30 hours? Probably only a vanishingly small number of these “jobs” pay enough to even be called real jobs and any that do require a master’s degree. You need a bachelor’s degree now to get a job a high school graduate would have laughed at fifty years ago.
