See, they suddenly hit the brakes just last month because they saw the charts.

Employers spooked by a sputtering economy hit the brakes on hiring last month, postponing the upswing needed to put 14 million unemployed Americans back to work.

I was told all these millions of jobless Americans are irresponsible, would rather have cable TV than health insurance and are just lazy!

The only “shovel ready job” that the Oaf-bama regime has created is all the SHIT they have shoveled on this nation!

We just need to make sure "mittens" isn't the nominee.

We don't need the same ol' same for another four years!

Well...the graph also shows how brutal the early-mid 80's were. I was a teen so it seemed great to me...but...yikes.

If we face similar numbers as we had in the 80's...and a similar recovery time...we are in for a rough ride.

The sputtering economy is as much of an effect as a cause for problems in the job market.

The real problem is that business isn't going to invest in hiring, expansion or capital projects in an uncertain regulatory environment. We've got an administration that is passing massive new laws that they haven't even read, then letting regulatory agencies fill in the details. Nobody yet knows what these will all come to. In addition, this administration picks winners and losers, passing out waivers to some and not to others.

Business can adjust to conditions, but it needs stability and these clowns keep changing the rules so quickly that none will take the risk until things settle out.

It won’t be long before we see this headline: McDonalds begins layoffs. When we do get ready to duck cause we’ll know TSHHTF for real.

Makes me want to sell the house, move to the hill country, and open and ice house. I figure ice cold longnacks may still be in demand. recently, the company I work for (oil field equipment) opened a plant in Shanghai. Shanghai? I told my boss that after 29 years in the business, I’d soon become redundant. Thanks Obama.

Anyone in the private sector knows there has been no real improvement in either the economy or the job market since 2008. The monthly government statistics are a fantasy designed for media propaganda and in no way represent the true state of the economy. We are in an economic depression. The GOP should start calling it what it is everyday in the same way James Carville and Bill Clinton pounded George H. W. Bush on the terrible state of a much better economy in 1992.

Unfortunately it is too much to expect the GOP to formulate a message and keep repeating it even when it is handed to them.

“Employers spooked by a sputtering economy ...”

Bull. Try “employers, tired of the Federal burden of hyper-regulation and hyper-taxation”...and the most accurate picture begins to appear.

The WSJ is merely assisting the FEDS in trying obfuscate the reasons for no jobs....its obviously a “sputtering economy”...not that the Fed Gov’mt might in any way , shape of form be at the root cause of it.

Oil future’s still over $100, and the dollar hasn’t budged. ;-)
