Well, the upper Midwest and Northeast has experienced one of the coldest winters on record, with brutal cold days in Chicago and unprecedented snow in Boston. No wonder job numbers are down—who’s going to hire in this bad weather?
Global warming strikes yet again!
Never mind, I know. January 20, 2017.
Let me get this straight. I’m a business owner who’s business is expanding, but I’m not going to hire or move my expansion forward because... it’s cold outside?
Wow.
There’s that word again: Unexpected!
...unexpectedly...
But, but, but this was “unexpected” doncha’ know?
Why is everything “unexpected” with these clowns?
We have a marxist in the White Hut and they expect growth?
This time thy have the same excuse as the last time — IT’s THE WEATHER.
Anecdotally I am hearing of A LOT of layoffs in this area.
Winter is going to end in a few weeks.
What will their excuse be then?
RE: Anecdotally I am hearing of A LOT of layoffs in this area.
Where in this great country is that?
In these reports, the word “unexpectedly” has become a national joke but these liberal fools don’t even realize it.
Perhaps, like [satire], we need a [propaganda] tag.
This article was written in FR comments weeks/months ago.
I heard on the radio yesterday the number of 'jobs added' and thought, "I wonder what that propaganda is preparing us for"...go figure.
Let me see:
there are about 95Million Taxpayers (people with JOBS)
there are about 50 Million on Food Stamps (No Jobs)
there are about 102 Million eligible people not Working(25-64)
And what is the Official Unemployment rate?
...Drink!!
I guess the plow poeople have something to do! Although they most likely got hired back in autumn though.
The statistic I would like to see is the percentage of months people who have filed for jobless claims have been employed since January 2009.
I suspect we have a lower class that is either unemployable or knows they do not have to work to survive. To gain eligibility for unemployment benefits for 99 weeks one only needs to work for thirteen weeks.
I used to live in Massholachusetts and would stop to purchase a lottery ticket after work on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and on Saturdays. There was a guy at the convenience store one day who admitting to hiring friends to work at his business for about three months and then laying them off because of “lack of work”. Those people would file for unemployment benefits. He would then hire another friend when business had an uptick the next week.
