We are definitely in a low-wage job boom. Everywhere here in Northern Colorado are HELP WANTED signs for minimum-wage or near-minimum wage unskilled blue and white collar work. (Around $15/hr)

Yet career-level skilled blue and white collar workers remain long-term unemployed.

Suppressing job creation like that, under current conditions, is hard to do.

$15 per hour X 40 hours = $600

Unemployment: 300 + 350 per week= $650

Why waste time working?

How was this unexpected? Only idiot leftists who know nothing of economics thought Vegetable Joe and friends would result in anything different.

If they are telling us we only added 266,000, you KNOW it’s even worse than that.

The unemployment rate rose to 6.1% from 6%, while economists had expected it to drop to 5.8%.

So?

Just take the "official" copy of the report and write in a "1," with an ink pen, in front of the "266,000".

Voila! Beat expectations by 26.6 percent! Put it on the CBS evening news!
