The Obama Administration likes to tout the "fact" that many new jobs are being created, thereby lowering our out-of-control unemployment situation. Oh, really? Are these real jobs, or a temporary Bandaid on the Unemployment Cancer?
Too many of these new jobs are temporary jobs; census takers, home weatherizers, etc. Also included in these totals are many new government and service industry jobs, which skews and corrupts the numbers. I don’t think the view will clear up anytime soon because of the summer employment of students and temporary food harvesters. It will be October before things clear up and we can get an actual employment count. Any successes claimed before then are just political posturing.
Is our whole economic hari-kari situation the entire problem or is the problem also with NAFTA and the Chinese undercutting us with unfair tariffs and keeping their monies artificially jacked up?
More to come!
