Someone posting the names of companies that added 881 jobs would surely shut you up.

Willie, Don't expect any such postings. You walk the talk. Others just change the topic to you.

According to the Dept. of Labor, 207,000 new jobs were added in July. Click here

Yep, that's what they say. Sure would be nice if they had put some company names and locations with those numbers, just like Willie does. [well excluding jobs packing factories for export]

According to the same source, the unemployment rate stayed at 5.0% (a terrific rate in anyone's book). So if 207,000 jobs were added, a proportional amount of jobs were lost. A wash.

Yes, but were they overpaid union jobs for disadvantaged and undereducated Howard Dean contributors? Where will those 881(minus relocated) workers go after their unemployment insurance runs out?

Oh Hell!!!

I know Indianapolis is a Republican city and I sympathise with the laid off workers, but change is inevitable and even with 0% financing American auto manufacturers are unable to long sustain producing more with out increased sales. Unfortunately, some people think the main purpose of a business is to provide employment rather than make a profit.

I know 881 seems like a lot but Indianapolis has about 420,000 workers, and 881 is less than 0.2% of the workforce. Indinapolis has a 4.5 unemployment rate. Not bad at all.
