[ETERNAL WARMING]

What schmooze. How many of those jobs pay a liveable wage? Next to none, just like under the Clinton Administration. They created 228,000 jobs of which a mere 11,528 paid above minimum wage. So we loose liveable wage jobs and get this crap as a subsitute. Great.

Your comment flies in the face of real wage figures. In order for your comment to be true, you would have to show a statistically-significant decline in real earnings over the past 10+ years.

Average hourly earnings in private, nonagricultural business increased in real terms by about 16 percent during the past 40 years [until 2000], but professionals did better: physicians, for example, enjoyed an increase in real earnings of 33 percent in the same period. [] The top 5 percent of families had an increase in income of 129 percent in real terms from 1960 to 1998, while the middle fifth had an increase of 54 percent and the bottom fifth only 38 percent. Family income went up not only because productivity was greater for other reasons, such as the increasing number of wives taking jobs outside the home. The average real income of working Americans, as the chart shows, increased beginning in 1995--undoubtedly made possible by the spurt in productivity over the same period.
