Sometimes hearing the numbers just isn't enough for many people to understand. This is Minnesota Viking's Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome and seats 64,000 people. Kind of puts in better perspective on how many people just lost their job in February.
More “good news” for Dingy Harry Reid and his commie ‘RATS.
Since about 80% of construction was taken over by illegals does this really count?
Yeah, but Obama single-handedly saved 72.9% of the construction jobs.
UNEXPECTEDLY?...........
The ‘recession’ is just hitting the Midwest...we’re always a little behind the times. ;)
I gauge how things are going each week by who is advertising the most in our local area.
Realtors are harping on this lasy hoorah for the tax dediuction for buying a home. Ends in about two weeks! Eeek!!)
Landscapers are pretty much BEGGING people to hire them for the spring/summer months.
Dental and doctor and chiro offices are advertising like crazy...no job, no insurance, no patients.
My husband’s work has dropped off enough to notice; computer/IT consultant.
Yep. It’s coming...and it’s not going to be pretty!
They tell me that the economy is growing and that consumers are “storming the malls”, but I don’t see how that could be so.
Just think what this number will look like when Obama pushes immigration-amnesty through.
And yet I know of many construction worker union types that voted for Obama and who proudly display their Obama/Biden bumper sticker next to their Union Local sticker.
How’s that hope and change going for you?
That is horrifying.............
My landlord is an electrician. His last paid job was in May of 2009.
I’m in St. George, UT, about 100 or so miles from Vegas.
For years the only construction workers I’ve seen were illegal aliens, so if they’re losing jobs, adios - NO unemployment benefits for you!
Banks aren’t making loans.

Pay no attention to that economic distress behind the curtain. Keep voting Democrat, union workers.
I know quite a few builders and they are all to a man out of work. Some were quite wealthy until about a year ago.
maybe so... but without Obama’s bailout it would of been 64 BILLION that lost their jobs!
lol
I believe it. My husband was laid off for 6 months. Finally found work. He worked for a month and is now laid off again. Its probably worse then the number shown.
Well, on the other hand, in places like Las Vegas and Southern California, how many of those jobs had been occupied by illegal workers?
can any of this be attributed to construction reaching a tipping point?
how many strip malls and buildings and new homes can be built before it reaches a saturation point. I was always amazed at the amount of new construction that took place in the 90’s and early 2000’s and often questioned the need for all the new strip malls and mega buildings. I am sure the economy has a huge role, but at sometime, construction jobs were going to run out.
What happened to all those “shovel ready jobs” were promised by the dems and the MSM when Porkulus passed?
Constrution jpbs declining, since we were commenting about this yesterday.
