I'm not sure why would would think only thousands of these positions are out there nationwide. My wife had 30 of them at any give time. That's at one location.

Another problem area is the area of retraining. If I'm not mistaken, a person on welfare who particiaptes in a retraining program or a vocational program, they are also considered employed.

These little tricks play havock with those of us who try to keep an eye on things.

It's all a game to them. If the INS seriously screws up, you change the name, reorginze and pretend things are a lot better. In fact they aren't. It's the old shell game. Those on the street get arrested for playing it. Our politicians get fat salaries, great medical benefits and great retirement plans for doing the same thing.
