Entry level jobs, education, salary & artificial intelligence. I see a big wall coming up.

[AntonToo]

and Trump didnt have to print up a trillion dollars to create these two million jobs like Obama did

Get real chump, Trump did JACK SHIT to improve job numbers in 2017. Like from the day he was born he has been coasting on good inheritance.

What's your excuse going to be in 2019 after the tax cuts propel the economy forward even faster?

I don't need excuses for your fantasies.

It may happen that the economy is still growing in 2019, but it's unlikely from historic business cycle perspective. We are now coming due for another recession. I'll even predict it will happen within a year - that cryptocurrency bubble seems like it will pop spectacularly.

But be that as it may - WHO is this fantastical Trump economy going to be hiring in 2019 if the job growth keeps up? By then we will be at 2% unemployment!

Report: 10 Percent of Amazon’s Ohio Workforce on Food Stamps
Report: Roughly 10 Percent of Amazon's Ohio Workforce on Food Stamps

So Amazon subsidise the Ohio food stamp program good to know, instead of them getting $50 bucks in food stamps they would be getting over $300 with out a job.

Amazon would have to raise wages if the government wasn't there propping up their employees.

Glad you agree, Trump must slash welfare benefits and companies like Amazon will raise wages

A win win for US taxpayers.

i remember watching so many episodes on "The Five" where any of the hosts were telling Juan the birdbrain that even though 100,000 or so jobs were created, he needed to deduct/subrtact how many jobs were lost for the month. Dumbass Juan Williams would always gloat about the jobs report, yet never brought up how many people applied for unemployment. Obama never mentioned it in any of his boring SOTU speeches.

 

[Wyatt earp]

when Obama was Prez, the libs were bragging about the 2000 new jobs a month,,many were in fast food,,,,great job barry!

When are you going to learn to STFU and get some facts straight first?

2017 had the worst job growth in the last 5 years.

STFU in your useless stats we are at full employment, the only other way to get lazy welfare whores to work is slash welfare payments in half .

Did you read what that moron I was responding to posted before you threw in your 2 dumb cents?

Yes slowdown in job growth is expected at full employment ...but someone forgot to tell that to idiot Trump who promised to create more jobs by bringing them back from China , and notify his idiot followers of what job growth looked like under Obama.

Chinese manufacturer Lynk & Co. wants to build cars in America

The Future of Arkansas Manufacturing Is in Foreign Hands










Because the future of manufacturing can be globalist too.

The signs are all faded, the parking lot empty in the middle of a Monday, except for the weeds that seem to have their own permanent parking space. The old Sanyo TV factory that closed a decade ago is the most obvious manifestation of manufacturing’s decline here in Forrest City, where unemployment and poverty far outstrip the average across Arkansas. But that very plant now promises to serve as a harbinger of a much more optimistic future.


The decline in the Arkansas Delta began in earnest in the ’90s, with homegrown manufacturing’s post-NAFTA decline, and bottomed out with the nearly 600 jobs lost when the Sanyo plant closed in 2007 after three decades. The Great Recession only compounded the region’s misery, and although unemployment in this county has fallen to 4.4 percent, it still lags behind the rest of the state by nearly a point. Nearly a third of folks in St. Francis County live in poverty today. “We really don’t have a lot of industry. If you aren’t willing to work at McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s or the hospital, we’re limited,” says Ardelia Echols, a Forrest City native and city councilor.


That may now be changing. This spring, a major Chinese textile company announced a plan to convert the former television and microwave factory into a massive yarn mill, with plans to hire as many as 800 employees and consume 200,000 tons of cotton annually — enough to swallow up the state’s entire crop. The Shandong Ruyi Technology Group has held job fairs for what will be its first American outpost, with lines that “were more than they can handle,” Echols says. “Everyone is really excited.”
The $410 million investment is one of a handful of foreign cash influxes that have made Arkansas the top state for foreign direct investment by employment growth, according to the nonprofit Organization for International Investment. More than 60 percent of that has come in the manufacturing sector, after many economists had effectively nailed the coffin on the industry. Arkansas is proactively courting these investments. In addition to the Shanghai office it’s had for a decade, the state has added offices in Berlin and Tokyo since Republican Gov. Asa Hutchinson took over in 2015. In that same time period, Hutchinson has led three trade trips to China.

The fruits have been plentiful. The Tianyuan Garment Factory is investing $20 million and 400 jobs into a new plant making Adidas apparel in Little Rock, while Sun Paper has signed a memorandum of understanding to invest $1 billion in a bioproducts mill in Arkadelphia. In the past 18 months, Arkansas went from zero major investments from Chinese companies to five, ushering in 1,500 jobs and $1.5 billion in spending. Over the past five years, Arkansas has seen 41.5 percent of its total job growth attributable to foreign direct investment.

“The message we got from China is that relationships matter,” says Mike Preston, the Hutchinson-appointed executive director of the Arkansas Economic Development Commission

My man, time to get real - it is drops-in-the-bucket bullshit.

Trump lied about jobs market and he lied about bringing the conveyor belt jobs back from China - big picture is that there is no population here that wants them and most of those jobs will probably be automated anyway sooner or later.

No he didn't you silly twit. It takes time to undo 8 years of job killing. Give it some time and the jobs will come back. obummer was chasing manufacturing away as fast as he could.

Undoing job killing?

Is that what you call the slowest job growth rate in 5 years?

Yeah obummer traded full time manufacturing jobs that provided benefits for part time jobs with none. What a great trade. You really are a idiot.

Report: 10 Percent of Amazon’s Ohio Workforce on Food Stamps
Report: Roughly 10 Percent of Amazon's Ohio Workforce on Food Stamps

So Amazon subsidise the Ohio food stamp program good to know, instead of them getting $50 bucks in food stamps they would be getting over $300 with out a job.

Amazon would have to raise wages if the government wasn't there propping up their employees.

Yup. Bezos is a scumbag. he treats his workers like shit.

Just wait till the amazon bubble bursts and it will....only a matter of time till shoppers get bored and head back to the malls.

On the automation stuff I don't really pay much attention because they have been spewing that crap for decades and we still have plenty of jobs everywhere.

I figured Chinese firms would want to build over here once Trump slashed regs and taxes.....USA made goods are much better quality and the workforce is the best in the world

The signs are all faded, the parking lot empty in the middle of a Monday, except for the weeds that seem to have their own permanent parking space. The old Sanyo TV factory that closed a decade ago is the most obvious manifestation of manufacturing’s decline here in Forrest City, where unemployment and poverty far outstrip the average across Arkansas. But that very plant now promises to serve as a harbinger of a much more optimistic future.


The decline in the Arkansas Delta began in earnest in the ’90s, with homegrown manufacturing’s post-NAFTA decline, and bottomed out with the nearly 600 jobs lost when the Sanyo plant closed in 2007 after three decades. The Great Recession only compounded the region’s misery, and although unemployment in this county has fallen to 4.4 percent, it still lags behind the rest of the state by nearly a point. Nearly a third of folks in St. Francis County live in poverty today. “We really don’t have a lot of industry. If you aren’t willing to work at McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s or the hospital, we’re limited,” says Ardelia Echols, a Forrest City native and city councilor.


That may now be changing. This spring, a major Chinese textile company announced a plan to convert the former television and microwave factory into a massive yarn mill, with plans to hire as many as 800 employees and consume 200,000 tons of cotton annually — enough to swallow up the state’s entire crop. The Shandong Ruyi Technology Group has held job fairs for what will be its first American outpost, with lines that “were more than they can handle,” Echols says. “Everyone is really excited.”
The $410 million investment is one of a handful of foreign cash influxes that have made Arkansas the top state for foreign direct investment by employment growth, according to the nonprofit Organization for International Investment. More than 60 percent of that has come in the manufacturing sector, after many economists had effectively nailed the coffin on the industry. Arkansas is proactively courting these investments. In addition to the Shanghai office it’s had for a decade, the state has added offices in Berlin and Tokyo since Republican Gov. Asa Hutchinson took over in 2015. In that same time period, Hutchinson has led three trade trips to China.

The fruits have been plentiful. The Tianyuan Garment Factory is investing $20 million and 400 jobs into a new plant making Adidas apparel in Little Rock, while Sun Paper has signed a memorandum of understanding to invest $1 billion in a bioproducts mill in Arkadelphia. In the past 18 months, Arkansas went from zero major investments from Chinese companies to five, ushering in 1,500 jobs and $1.5 billion in spending. Over the past five years, Arkansas has seen 41.5 percent of its total job growth attributable to foreign direct investment.

“The message we got from China is that relationships matter,” says Mike Preston, the Hutchinson-appointed executive director of the Arkansas Economic Development Commission

More bullshit.

Manufacturing jobs grew slightly under Obama and almost 100% of job growth since recession was in FULL TIME category. We added almost no part time jobs.

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

It's hopeless. No one wants to discuss the topic since they can just argue Trump/Obama

 

[Wyatt earp]

When are you going to learn to STFU and get some facts straight first?

2017 had the worst job growth in the last 5 years.

STFU in your useless stats we are at full employment, the only other way to get lazy welfare whores to work is slash welfare payments in half .

Did you read what that moron I was responding to posted before you threw in your 2 dumb cents?

Yes slowdown in job growth is expected at full employment ...but someone forgot to tell that to idiot Trump who promised to create more jobs by bringing them back from China , and notify his idiot followers of what job growth looked like under Obama.

I just posted you three links of course conveyor jobs are coming here and no they all won't be automated anytime soon In the near future



A president job when it comes to jobs is provide a pro business friendly atmosphere which Trump did (low taxes, less regulations).and Obama did not (Obama care, more regulation)


It's up to the governors and state legislature to get the jobs


A president doesn't get the jobs he can only hinder job creation in the private sector or create government jobs like Obama did do.

It really depends on what political party you belong to.

The majority of Republicans say colleges are bad for America (yes, really)

Republicans have this really weird perspective on education in general.

Remember, the same people who believe that science is a faith and magical creation is real while evolution is only some nonsensical theory are the same people who criticize education. How can you be critical of education when you believe Behe is a knowledgeable scientist and an expert on "intelligent design"? Well, you can if you are a Republican.

The future winners will be the children of immigrants who enthusiastically attend school and the children of liberals who enthusiastically attend school.

Losers will be the children of Republicans who think education is bad for America. And there will be millions. Even more than there are now.

Low Education Levels and Unemployment Linked in Appalachia

Appalachia covers 13 Ruby Red states and/or counties. Millions of whites with an increasing infant mortality rate and a decreasing life expectancy. Many white poor in Appalachia don't even have electricity or running water. They are never in the news. Why? Because they all vote Republican. And what is the Republican Party doing for them?

Laughing at them. Making fun of them. Working to make sure they never have healthcare.

This thread is not about college. Not every child goes to college and we need to be preparing those children for the future as well.

Duh! I wrote about school and education. Which covers job training, oh speaking of job training:

Trump’s budget would cut funding for Appalachia — and his allies in coal country are livid

Trump budget proposes 40% cut to job training programs

8 Ways the House Republicans’ Budget Will Harm Working Families to Pay for Millionaire Tax Cuts

My link had college in it. But education covers job training, Jr. College, Colleges and Universities.

When have you heard Republicans promoting any of that????

You're not part of a solution when you spend all of your efforts on playing partisan politics & the blame game.

Let me say it again:

My link had college in it. But education covers job training, Jr. College, Colleges and Universities.

When have you heard Republicans promoting any of that???

----------

If someone walks up to you and hits you with a bat, will you say, "Oh, I'm playing the blame game"?

It's that attitude that helps them get away with their evil.

Universities have job training...LOL, good one.

If you want to become a researcher, then yea.

See, that's what happens when you don't know anything about college education.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

Entry level jobs, education, salary & artificial intelligence. I see a big wall coming up.

You hit the wall a long time ago.

More bullshit.

Manufacturing jobs grew slightly under Obama and almost 100% of job growth since recession was in FULL TIME category. We added almost no part time jobs.

Actually, it's much more complicated in a couple of different ways.

You have to look at "job growth"

and "manufacturing output".

When Obama became president, the damage Bush and GOP did to the economy was in full swing. The country was losing jobs at the rate of 700,000 a month. This continued for Obama's first year. But by the end of the first year, there was a rapid turn a round and that led to the creation of nearly a million jobs in just manufacturing over the rest of his terms. Pretty good.

But manufacturing output in the last couple of decades has nearly doubled. That's because of automation. 87% of lost manufacturing jobs were because of automation.

The growth in manufacturing has been spectacular, but the growth in jobs numbers? Not so much.

These are the things the right wing simply doesn't understand. When you try to explain it their eyes roll up into their heads and if you don't catch them, they fall to the ground in a dead faint. Then the first words out of their pinched Paul Ryan type mouths is "prove it". They spend all this time on the Internet trashing Hillary Clinton and Obama when they could do a simple search to find out the truth. But they don't want to know the truth.

Mexico stealing factory jobs? Blame automation instead

Obama's Record on Manufacturing Jobs - FactCheck.org

Republicans don't want their base to know the truth. Keeping them stupid is the key to their success.
