Well this is good news!
Hey, wow. It's October! Time to pull out my resume.
Payroll records, offset by 2 million new self-employed per Roger Hedgecock on Rush this morning....
bttt
I have employers calling me everyday. There are plenty of good jobs out there.
I "lost" my job when my last company folded. My partner and I started a new one and while we are not getting paid yet, start-ups and self employed people are major contributors to the economy.
Yep. Me too, about three years ago, opened my own shop when my old job cut back. Best thing I ever did--however, there can be a little more stress and administrative headaches. Best of luck--but you'll do fine. This is still America, as long as we keep the left out of power....
Is Bush responsible for your plight? Explain how. Do you think that someone owes you a job? Do you believe that government is supposed to protect your skill set? Do you feel that rich people are supposed to share the wealth for if you answer "Yes" to any of them then you probably are posting in the wrong forum. I say that not to be cruel but rather conservatives believe in self determination and that government is not the solution to your problems. If you have high-tech experience then you should either be able to find new work or have enough accumen to bridge into something related with a bit of time and education. And, if you have worked in high-tech you probably got paid better than most people and should have saved some money for a rainy day. I used to have a $150K a year job that lasted 7 years. It's gone and I am starting over. Yes, I am afraid of failure and it's not always easy but that's the game we are in.
Good luck with your employment situation.
Hey dahvid;
If life has you down and out, no food on the table, no heat in the house I can give you some good advice.
Trot on down to the local Army recruiter. They could always use a good man. Why, you'll be able to travel the world, get good pay and learn a few new skills.
When you get out you'll be full of confidence and ready to take on anything.
Good luck in your new life.
"Is Bush responsible for your plight? Explain how."
What do you think the president is responsible for? Explain how and why. Do you feel that the president and government are responsible for anything at all? Please explain.
"Do you think that someone owes you a job?"
Did I say that?
"Do you believe that government is supposed to protect your skill set?"
Did I say that? Do you feel that Americans deserve any job protections at all? Before you answer consider that we are all dispensible.
Do you believe that the president has no responsibility for the welfare of the people? Are you asking for my support (donation for freeper) or my vote? Tell me why again?
"Do you feel that rich people are supposed to share the wealth for if you"
Did I say that? You are just putting words in my mouth and attacking me without justification for imaginary reasons. Please stop frothing at the mouth.
" answer "Yes" to any of them then you probably are posting in the wrong forum."
Please tell me what exactly is the "forum" here. I have read and agreed with many posts here, for example, that the liberals are intolerant of other's views...well it is obviously true of freepers here. Just raise a voice of dissent or raise a question and you are immediately attacked and exorcised. This forum is only for people who want to hear what they say and are totally intolerant of any opposing views. People who disagree are told to go away rather than reasoned with. Does the owner of this website really want it to be so provincial?
"I say that not to be cruel"
Well you are being cruel. Don't deny it or try to dilute the truth. You are callouse and cruel, and may what goes around come around rather sooner than later.
"but rather conservatives believe in self determination and that government is not the solution to your problems."
Did I say that I didn't believe in self-determination? Please show us all on this post where I said that. Are you the only voice of "conservatives" here? Do you think that you own the title of conservative? Are there "conservatives" that disagree with some of your views? Please explain.
"If you have high-tech experience then you should either be able to find new work or have enough accumen to bridge into something related with a bit of time and education."
I have 15 years experience in telecommunications. I did graduate work which included a tour of the Pentagon facilities. After being laid-off I earned an Associates in Science in Computer Networking hoping to find work. I have tried starting my own computer repair business but the field is saturated with out of work computer people. I have worked like hell for years doing all the right things. Now I am getting older and it is difficult to find work. They always want more experience or more skills that I don't have. I am taking nursing classes now but that will take years to complete.
"And, if you have worked in high-tech you probably got paid better than most people and should have saved some money for a rainy day."
And I have saved my money. I never received your pay rate. When my savings run out I would prefer to end my life quickly than to live in your society out on the skids and die a slow death on your streets. And who the hell are you to tell me what to do with my money anyway? You are just a heartless fascist dictator waiting to happen.
"I used to have a $150K a year job that lasted 7 years. It's gone and I am starting over. Yes, I am afraid of failure and it's not always easy but that's the game we are in."
$150K is more than I've ever made, and for 7 years? WOW. No wonder you think you are hot sh*t. My my how brave you are, not afraid of failure and still in the game, while us down and out weaklings just pollute your space. You are the epitome of virtue for us all no gooders to follow. Such a great man you are!
"Good luck with your employment situation."
Thanks and good luck to you. My employment situation is shared by many others in this country. I will vote for Bush because he is helping my people, my time is just about up anyway. I'm tired of struggling and failing. It is just not worth it to live and suffer in this society anymore.
Pete,
Somehow your advice does not seem friendly. Rather tinged with hate. Do you represent what freepers are all about? Well..what about it freepers?
FYI, I am 50 years old with health problems, so I can't trot down to join up. I'm sure that you would just grin ear-to-ear if I were to fall into harm's way, but that just shows you for the hateful little person that you are. Take a look in the mirror, like who you see? I don't.
It's people like you that make enemies of potential supporters. You are doing a disservice to you party by representing them is such a spiteful manner.
My time is nearly up, and I'll be glad to leave your whole stinking rotten world. May you get what you deserve in this life.
Hey dahvid;
I was giving you good advice. I'd never advise somebody to do something I didn't. I'm the same age as you are except I joined the Army when I was 18 and spent 21 years in it. I then retired and since then have been working for myself.
I'm a short time Freeper but a long time worker. Quite with the SOB story and get yourself back to work. Then you can face yourself in the morning.
All in all, Friday is a big big day. Sept jobs reports. Annual jobs revision. Debate. Hope all of us here are happy about 11pm tomorrow evening.
Good riddens liar.
He's talking about the Household survey done by BLS. Most of the MSM and lying politicians only point to the Payroll survey the BLS does.
According to the Household survey, jobs are up 2 million since Bush took office. Not all of these are "self-employed" as you suggested.
It's simple: the Payroll survey asks the same list of business about their level of employment. This obviously does not and cannot cover all jobs and especially ignores those working for small businesses (my hotel has 300 employees and I'm sure we've never been asked).
The Household survey calls about 60,000 homes a month? (or quarter) and asks if they are employed.
Beats a cry baby whiner that obviously thinks it's someone elses responsibility to care for you. And that type of person, in my opinion, have a special place in Hades.
i do not understand you. what do you mean?
