Even after seven and a half years of socialism, the economic benefits still have not arrived. Who would have guessed that increasing the costs of hiring and reducing the incentive to work would do so little to create jobs? Unexpected!

Given that AP could not hold back from admitting this, the true state of affairs has to be worse yet.

They just need to raise the minimum wage a few more dollars so more people will want to work.

If Trump wins in November it will be very interesting - and predictable - to see how the media starts reporting the unemployment rate.
To: Olog-hai
Less-educated workers bore the brunt of the hiring slump, with a quarter-million high school dropouts losing their jobs in May...yes, keep pushing for that $15 an hour minimum wage, lefties......

Adult employment is less than 63 percent.

With all the unemployment in the US, why does it still allow immigration?
Senseless foolishness.
Are we trying to increase our unemployment rate?

What this economy needs is more socialism!
To: 353FMG
No, nothing to do with that at all. It comes from something in the
Manifesto:
The Communists are further reproached with desiring to abolish countries and nationality. …
The more things get “internationalized”, the faster the commies feel they can make their “world revolution” accelerate.

Although, of course, they are implementing Cloward-Piven to increase the chaos. They really are insane ideologues.

I read a few weeks ago that 20% of the rail traffic nationwide is down.
I thought so since the stack trains going through Kingman AZ are less..lot less.

We are starting to automate our workforce. $15.00 per hour for a fast food worker? No thanks!
To: MinorityRepublican
And fewer people working means fewer people who can afford to eat at the fast-food places. Double whammy.

Gee, if EVERYONE gives up and stops looking for work the news will be "ZERO UNEMPLOYMENT"..., just in time for the election no doubt! That's the way the system works!
