These jobs stats are a bit meaningless now. If you want a job the jobs are there.

I drove past the US Steel Clariton Works plant in W PA last week and there were signs posted that US Steel is now hiring.

These jobs are in the $65-75K per year range.

Any competent person that wants to work, can find a job.

Those jobs are....gone...there not, uh, coming back.

Amen. And frankly I do not care who get the credit. I just want people to work. Makes them productive and improves self-worth—oh, and saves me money :).
