Bump for tomorrow. There is a lot of B.S. in this piece.
Too much information.
Some of you will remember the threads here about the hundreds of locomotives on sidings near Tucson AZ in 2016. I can tell you that they are all gone and towing trains across America.
While I find the author and source somewhat questionable, I also agree in part.
We have literally, sent millions of jobs offshore.
Millions.
Bring them back to America.
This is correct. These numbers we are fed are lies!!
Because no one goes to the mall anymore ~ It’s Old School... and where derelicts loiter.
I wonder if they sell gold coins and vitamin supplements too?
Blog pimping?
The absolute numbers are difficult to nail down. What is clear is that things are better under Trump.
Trump can’t be blamed for using the same phony methodology Obama used to show the improvement. But I’d love to see them get back to more honest numbers. Things are definitely better. But they’ve been lying so long they wouldn’t know an honest number if it bit them.
Underemployment has been a problem during the last 10 years or so. A lot of people are working multiple part time jobs.
There’s some truth to this wacky article.
I never bought the “unemployment rate” when Obama was prez. And don’t now, however, whatever the “real” number is, it’s clearly getting better under Trump.
And come to think of it, if you count “health care” in the mix, then inflation is thru the roof, since the “Affordable Health Care Act.”
There are software companies in Idaho?
Many “disability” folks are not going to get a job...too much fun smoking dope all day. Thus, the actual millions “unemployed.”
This is truth but Trump is using the numbers that were used for Obama and his numbers are improving over those of Obama’s. Things are moving in the right direction.
The Trump corporate tax cuts are astounding and have only started to work their way into expansion of GDP and the workforce. So there is a pronounced lag to Williams’s analysis. The effect of the tax cuts is not included in the mix because the measurements are yet to come.
At some point however, when Americans can see the full effect of the Trump ta cuts and his enormous cutting of costly regulations, when Americans see that happy day are here again, then it would be worth to see an economic commission formed to revamp economic measures that better reflect reality and not some manipulation made for political expediency.
Why the picture of Duane Allman’s brother?
(Seriously: just bookmarking for later).
Sounds like I would be better off in Haiti.
This guy makes a living selling doom. I agree the economy isn’t on solid ground but it’s better than it has been.
.…...I do not know what the actual numbers are and I don’t believe Snyder does either. I do know in Texas that everyone breathing is going to work and hiring a good worker is all but impossible.
I would say unemployment among competent people wanting to work is zero in Texas.
One example: Nearly every restaurant has a “help wanted” sign seemingly permanently fixed to the front window.
Your engineer friend needs to learn Hindi pronto. Then procure a fake H1B visa and he should be employed by tomorrow morning.
