How can anyone out there possibly believe that the U.S. economy is doing well? As you will see below, the number of homeless Americans has risen to the highest level ever recorded, and large companies all over the country are laying off workers in droves. As I have discussed previously, the number of Americans that were laid off in 2023 jumped 98 percent compared to the year before, and now during the first month of 2024 it feels like we are being hit by a tsunami of layoffs. It literally seems like someone has turned a fire hose on, but the Biden administration continues to insist that unemployment is “low” and that the outlook for the U.S. economy is positive.
Honestly, I don’t understand how the Biden administration can say that the outlook for the U.S. economy is positive when the number of Americans that are homeless has been increasing at the fastest pace ever recorded. According to a brand new report that was just released by Harvard’s Joint Center for Housing Studies, the number of homeless Americas has increased 48 percent since 2015…
According to a Jan. 25 report from Harvard’s Joint Center for Housing Studies, roughly 653,000 people reported experiencing homelessness in January of 2023, up roughly 12% from the same time a year prior and 48% from 2015. That marks the largest single-year increase in the country’s unhoused population on record, Harvard researchers said.
Homelessness, long a problem in states such as California and Washington, has also increased in historically more affordable parts of the U.S.. Arizona, Ohio, Tennessee and Texas have seen the largest growths in their unsheltered populations due to rising local housing costs.

They misspelled hopelessness in the title.
The Democrats don’t care when people lose their jobs. They ultimately do not care whether those out of work are migrants or citizens. They have a vested interest in having a large number of people depending on the government for handouts. Those people are assumed to be Democrat voters.
My take for what it’s worth: the uniparty keeps screwing with corp tax structure and not incentivizing on-shore development of production facilities. Not only does that make US reliant on goods from over seas but also reduces the need for US workers. That coupled wit the current administration’s America last energy policies is gonna kill the economy.

Reminds me — I haven’t seen or heard a word about the numbers of people on food stamps for a long time. Wonder why.
I can’t argue against that. It’s what we see is going on everyday.
I work for a large IT services company and we generally use 90/10 ratio of offshore v on shore resources. Really chaps my @&& every time o have tell someone their position has been “migrated”.
It chaps me when I have to try to understand a thick India accent when they are trying to explain something to me.
