All "jobs" added in the past year have been part-time workers

Hard to have a growing economy without a growing work force.

We have a labor excess...big time. The native work force has never been stronger.

With unemployment consistently below 4%, it appears there is definitely not a big labor excess.

When you actually look inside the jobs numbers, hey aren't good news at all. Just some numbers thrown out by Biden's BLS.

But look deeper and you will see things like this.

Well of course they are. The dems have screwed the employment market up to the place that employers cannot afford to hire full time workers. The dem handouts of exorbitant minimum wages, mandatory FMLA, sick leave, vacations, holidays, paid parental leaves, etc. cannot be sustained if a business wants to stay alive. Can you imagine paying a burger flipper all of these handouts? Better to hire two 20 hr./wk workers who don't get those benes. Then the employee has to have two jobs.

Are you counting the 15 million illegal immigrants. Critical thinking. Try it sometime.

Sick leave, vacation time, holidays, are excessive? If a business can't handle these then DO NOT HIRE because you have no business hiring workers. If those kinds of places close their doors its no loss whatsoever. But bye.

Quite a few are new factory jobs around West TN, many for businesses that have moved in, not to mention expansions. I have never heard of a part time factory job around here.

TN is a red state with a republican governor ... hopefully leftists like you wont change that .

So you want high inflation?

I seem to fit in OK. Even Republican Governors and liked me alright. The only one I wouldn't vote for was the one that got his fuel, (sold from one end of the state to the other) from the Communist Hugo Chavez. I don't support anybody that supports or supported Communism. As somebody who has done a little trucking, as well as managed a truck fleet, I was not impressed with the special tax he got passed. while he was in office that benefitted him and his business. Due to the way it was set up, he could make money off the interest, of the tax collect, due to the payment schedule.

No. But we had no inflation at all when Trump was president, and the border was very secure.

You little shit asses need to stop talking like goobers.

Over 700,000 jobs since december. Over 14 million jobs in the last 4 years. Wages are up over 4%. The stock market in record territory. Manufacturing and construction jobs steady and growing. Oil production at historic record highs. 8mm jobs unfulfilled. 3.7% UE. Less workers with two jobs. More workers retiring. The US is in good shape for the future.

It takes two seconds to prove that’s a lie.

It is the total numbers, there are no new full time jobs nationally, just new full time jobs replacing lost full time jobs, basically a wash.

That’s a lie.

excalibur is no different that were Streicher and Goebbels. They lied, even when they did not need to. excalibur is the same.

Yeah, you have a money tree in your backyard. A local hamburger stand doesn't have the profit margin to afford those benefits for unskilled labor. An entry level worker is not worth $35K/yr plus benefits that add up to a $70K wage total cost to the employer. Then you'll bitch when a simple Mickey D's basic burger costs you $20.

Yet Del Taco in town is hiring at $20 an hour to clean up the kitchen in the witching hours.

Yes, business does have the money.

I don't eat that toxic stuff. I do agree that we don't need people flipping hamburgers.

That was before COVID killed a few million and took a few million other boomers out of the labor force.

 

[Burgermeister]

Lots of layoffs and expect more in 2024. It's not a good economy and inflation is devastating.
