Employers in 31 U.S. states cut jobs last month as weak economic growth weighed on hiring and a slowdown in oil and gas drilling caused big job losses in some states.

The Labor Department said Tuesday that unemployment rates rose or were unchanged in 27 states and fell in 23 states. Eighteen states gained jobs, while employment was unchanged in Idaho.

Not gonna happen if the job loss is much dependent on oil.

This is happening because we are IMPORTING EVERYTHING FROM OTHER COUNTRIES.

Pick anything around you. Something you are wearing. Something on the floor. Something on the wall. In the yard. In the next room. Anywhere.

Where is it from.

The odds are (very) good it is imported. Which means a foreigner holds the job, not a fellow American.

And that trend is still continuing. Has been for over an entire generation.

America needs to be for American jobs.

Well, that barn burner of an economy had to slow down sometime! Whoo-Hee! What a ride! Growth! Growth! Growth! These last 6 years have been the best ever. But I guess the good times are over now. [/kool-aid]

“America needs to be for American jobs”

Easy to say.
Hard to do.

And the exodus began before NAFTA was ever a reality.

Until you change the conditions that forced the jobs out in the first place, all you are doing is wishing and hoping.

I don’t agree with you.

I believe there is a segment of Americans who are methodically selling out American businesses.

And our government is doing nothing to save the jobs, or bring jobs back to America.

All we need to do, is start to protect companies which employ people right here in the USA.

The GOP needs to start to be for American jobs.

Don’t wait for democrats to do this. Be for American jobs, GOP.

If you read through the comments you can clearly see where the paid progressive Astro-turfers start their full court press to try to stem the bleeding from the absolute bludgeoning Obola is taking.

So job cuts are still called “growth” by the AP?
