I once had a job that suddenly required that I ride a bucket up 35 feet to replace electrical components in a bank ceiling. The damn thing was on a sissors and swayed several feet either way once up like a park ride with no seat belt. I said no. I was punished.

I know plenty of scientists and engineers who have been unemployed for many months. Trump puts emphasis on increasing the number of blue collar jobs, but very little has been done so far to grow white collar employment.

I don’t think we were anywhere near 15 million new jobs since 2010.

Perhaps. But for every one STEM job created since Y2K, foreign visa workers have taken 1.4 STEM jobs in the USA.

Half of US citizen STEM graduates cannot get hired in their fields.

This particular segment of the unemployed are extremely not likely to be druggies, drunks, or any other category of sub-humans. They've just been targeted for genocide by the liberal Democrats and RINOs.

There is something really strange about that.

It appears on the surface that these folks agree with Obama’s desire to take the US down a notch or ten.

I view them as enemies of the state. (The US)

I rode one of those when I was younger- doing summer maintenance at a school.

I got the job because the manager was afraid of heights and other guy weighed 350 lbs. Lift refused to lift, so there I was up 40 ft using a primer that was very volatile, paint for 10 minutes outside for 20 minutes to clear my lungs. Took a week to finish the job

It's not so strange, after you talk to a few sociology and education majors.

95% of the population is within one standard deviation of the mean. These and all the ones below are easy to manage, manipulate, and herd like cattle. This segment of the population supplies practically 100% of the teachers, social workers, police, child care workers, and just about every other people-facing occupation in the country.

People with higher IQs are a threat to the socialized ideal of human robots. People with the capacity to study business, engineering, computer science, information systems, chemistry, and other difficult subjects, are a threat to the NAZIs that have ruined this nation.

Now that they are losing their grip on control of the population, they are screeching like vampires splashed with Holy Water.

From where I live and travel....observations

Blacks don’t work much except old school good daddy blacks and black teen girls at fast food or curvy baby mamas who work often for the state

The rest milk the system per kid etc as it’s been 50 years now

Whites have a grand ergot like malaise in the lower third. They too milk the system...disability at 35....all the other crap...they usually exploit Tenn Care or whatever program to get monthly doctor visits for pain or anxiety meds which they then sell most of...whites who have less than 50,000 household income rarely marry anymore...it’s the black model and many of these Chinese eyes level obesity women have mixed race kids by the bucketload

There are two americas now and I’ve seen it everywhere from Medford to Maine and Petosky to Pensacola

The Deep South areas with large black populations appear to have it less die to the reality check they live in 24/7

White America is so trashy.....it’s amazing

Asians or Orientals ....mostly ok....the low ones have issues and the high ones not so much

Latinos....aside from urban crime and illegals crime and drunk four foot tall Sonoran modern day Mescaleros carving one another up on weekends are not much trouble

Aside from leering at women and urban gang crap

That’s how it looks from here

Latinos are starting to feel the weakness of America and will become much more aggressive as whites decline. It’s simply human nature.

68.27%, 95.45% and 99.73% of the values lie within one, two and three standard deviations of the mean

They are a very unusual looking subset of humanity, aren’t they? Short stature aside, they practically have no neck. Somewhere in between Mongolian and Indonesian, but much smaller.

"I don’t think we were anywhere near 15 million new jobs since 2010."

Don't forget that the US population grows every year, through natural growth, legal immigration and illegal immigration. The job growth rate must match the population growth rate Just to tread water. When the government brags that "150,000 new jobs were added," that is NOT good news. It's losing ground.

So, for the percentage of the population more than one standard deviation above the mean, it would be 34.135% that are not dumber than dirt. That is a pleasant surprise.

I agree that people forget how many U.S. Citizens turn 21 every year. That’s roughly how many new jobs we need each year.

Considering those who go to college and don’t enter the work-force until later, I ran some figures a while back.

I added all the people who turn 18 - 25 each year. Then I divided by 8. That gave me a figure of 350-370,000 per year. I forget the exact amount, but I think it was very close to 350,000.

As you point out, 150,000 isn’t something to brag about, because that simply means we added 200,000 that month to the capable people sitting idle. That’s 2.4 million people per year.

People should think of the months where we crated less than 150,000 jobs.

OUCH!

Good comments... thanks.
