60 Minutes Just Blew The Lid Off The Unemployment Situation in the USA

[My Favorite Headache]

Airing right now...said the real unemployment is at 17.5%...showing tons of people with masters, bachelors, phd's, you name it...unemployed for 2 years...can't even get jobs at Target.

I can tell you stories about third world pharma raw material and finished product plants. Some involve body fluids, one I'll never forget involves a batch of HCTZ and toenails.

Nothing like a little keratin in with your BP med!

Gotta support those German Catholics! That’s part of my ancestry.

“I don't know. The manipulation required to herd the sheeples into that frame of mind will have to be masterful.”

That's what frightens me about the Clintons - they are master politicians. Remember, we here on FR are not the norm, the dullards can be swayed rather easily.

IMHO many are being set up to be receptive to the manipulation by the public school system.

Where can the whole video 60 minutes segment on the unemployment be viewed?

I am sure that many people recorded the video as broadcast. If I knew how to post it to YouTube, or any other hosting site that would allow people to download it, I would be happy to do that.

OK Freeper technogeeks, how do we do that?

“IMHO many are being set up to be receptive to the manipulation by the public school system.”

Oh, Good God YES!!! My sister is a public school teacher. She was always Republican. Now? Well, we hardly speak anymore, she’s been totally brainwashed to the dark side.

So, if a grown adult can be turned, the youngins can be, even more so.

Thank you!

Newt lost me permanently when he made that PSA with either Pelosi, Boxer or Feinstein about global warming or some other absurd idea. Carbon credits?

It doesn't take much to utterly destroy the credibility of a RINO.

"Bipartisanship" is the confession of either a crisis of competence or imagination.

So...now you will watch it, or now you don't have to watch it?

It mean's I'll watch the show and skip the thread.

Employers will not hire college grads for lower paying jobs because they know they won’t stay if another opportunity comes along. Happened to me. So deny, deny, deny and leave the airs at home.

Well sometimes they don't hire them because they have completely unrealistic ideas of compensation. We had a marketing position a couple of years ago, we were looking for a new grad someone who could grow us and grow with us. We had a person come in for the interview wanting 65K becuase that's what she had been told by the college a marketing person could make. I was in shock, 30K maybe! Brand new, no experience and you're asking for 65K?

We chose not to hire that particular person because we knew if we did, she would still be looking for that other opportunuity.

Although sadly enough, that position is no longer with the company, the boss prefers that we do it ourselves.

Have you heard some of the newest stuff with new grads? They're bringing their parents to the job interviews! I had an HR manager friend tell me that he really appreciated them self emlinating from the position. I'm not talking about driving them to the interview, I am talking about sitting in on the interview and trying to negotiate for the grad. (Shakes Head)

We're starting to see an uptick in jobs here in Houston, at least in the IT market. And I saw a statistic that over the last 12 months there was a 2% increase in job creation in IT.

If you want to control who gets the job, then you had better own the business. You have no right to judge what anyone else does with their property.

Look if he is going to blab like that on a forum, he is going to get flack. He should SFTU. Real people are hurting and to hear this is outrageous. I don't want to hear the musings of wife beaters either. The crapholes that would rather hire an illegal alien than just about anyone else are over this place. Tell me I'm wrong.

The bottom line is that if it’s the employer’s experience or belief that hiring someone with a MS in engineering is not the best candidate for a warehouse manager or forklift driver, for whatever reason, that’s his choice. It’s not your place anymore than it’s the government’s place to second-guess that decision.

I'll second guess anyone I want Adolf. KMA.

[central_va]

No, it’s not. It’s just business.

That is the same expression hit men use just before they cap someone. Ironic isn't it?

[Pride in the USA]

Not quite the October surprise Obamanation had in mind.

[Yaelle]

Yes, that Washington Insider said as much last week. The Dems will be removing Pelosi from speaker even if they retain the House somehow. She is a wealthy, arrogant absolute IDIOT and has contributed greatly to bringing this country down.

I'm not in charge of hiring, but if I were interviewing applicants and someone brought their parents into the interview, they would not get the job. If they can't stand on their own two feet, they aren't ready for the real world. The only exception might be if I were choosing a baby sitter from the neighborhood - I'd want to know what kind of household they were from.

You are right Dave, and the current employer paid system won't work for long.

Most companies want socialized medicine for the simple reason that they can not afford to insure older workers. It is a major cost for the company I work for, and one that influences hiring (also something few here want to admit).

If you are over 50 and out of work, you are in trouble. The cost of hiring an older worker is to high for most companies in days like these.

All too many voters don't have a clue about anything political, particularly with today's educational system.

It's no accident that so many of our citizens are as ill-informed as serfs of the feudal era, even though most have had the benefit of a free government education.

If they're clueless, it's because the government wants them to be clueless.

This is one of the primary boiling points responsible for the birth of the Tea Party.

(Standing on chair cheering out loud)

Thank You!

You're welcome. Someone had to say it.

[RegulatorCountry]

It’s only ironic to you.
