Hm, labor is the last thing to recover after a recession. So the labor picture still looks bad.

...record high levels, where are the jobs?

Oh, and don't say too many regulations.

Why would I hire anyone if I can make a profit with what I have.
Employees are an expense. And they are the easiest expense to control.
When the CEO of Coca-Cola says that China (which let's not forget, is a fuckin' communist dictatorship!) is more business friendly than the US, how can you really argue that our regulatory and tax systems are just fine.
Coca-Cola- nothing screams American business more than that brand, and it's CEO says, "I'd find it easier to business in China than the US!"
But , nope, we should raise taxes and put a few more union cronies on the gravy train. That's the ticket. Yeah.
I refuse to settle fro a world where profit is the most important thing

Those that can will create a new market for products and services specifically designed to cater to this new business climate.
It is impossible for a business to "create a market" except by paying workers good wages.
what kind of world do you want?
One where the most important thing is Profit?
Or a world where the most important thing is people?

It's also the last thing to bottom out when a recession hits which is why the economy was still shedding jobs and continued to shed them when Obama took office.
The biggest scam is that the rich are "job creators", when the two biggest prerogatives are increasing sales and lowering costs. To lower costs you need to eliminate jobs without lowering sales. Given that primary capitalist principle, we are fooling ourselves in thinking that not taxing the rich will increase jobs. It will only increase bottom lines, but not lead to jobs because no one's making enough to increase sales significantly.

Free trade is a wonderful concept. Unfortunately, there are winners and losers. US producers with high wages and overhead relative to other nations are among the losers. In order to be competitive, they have cut jobs and benefits. They have moved out of markets that they have no chance of being competitive such as textiles, apparel manufacture, and consumer electronic products.We have, though trade laws, and tax laws, and various laws that give advantages to big capital and always at the expense of the working people, wrecked this economy.
Of course, if you're one of the chosen ones, or one of their loyal servants, this has worked out very well for you.
But the nation itself is much worse off that it needs to be.
The GREED PHILOSOPHY and a representational system of government do not make good bedfellows.
I think trade is a big part of the problem, absolutely. But Democrats are as much free traders and Republicans are, so there's equal blame on that one.
But we have the highest corporate tax rate in the industrialized world.
We spend more on health care than any country in the world, and business bears the brunt of that.
Our Public Education, despite spending the most per capita in the world, produces the worst results. Seriously, getting qualified applicants is often a challenge.
This is pretty much it. Free trade agreements and a tax policy that favors outsourcing has destroyed our working sector. And it doesnt look like it's going to change any time soon, as every single politician from both sides of the isle think free trade agreements are super keen.

Amazing no one is blaming Obama. They'd rather blame ROmney, who isnt the president. Yet.
The next phase is the "McJobs recovery" when the Left screams about all American workers get is the crumbs because you see growth in low wage jobs.
Then we get full employment and the left is screaming because pizza delivery guys arent paid the same as the CEO.
The Left is filled with economic boobs and ignoramuses who have forgotten any history. If they ever knew it.
Romney is one of the people that shipped jobs overseas. Romney represents, perfectly, the 1% that values profits over everything else, including this country and its economy.
You can pretend that the income inequality in this country (which is worse than the income inequality in ancient Rome) doesn't matter...but it does and it is mattering more and more every day. I mean, you really want to talk about ignoring history...what has happened when income inequality reaches levels like today, historically speaking?
Love the new avatar. Give up on Perry, the little Dumber Boy, did you?
What is the problem with income inequality, sweet-cheeks? I've asked this several times and no one can give a coherent answer. Based on the quality of your posts you're sure to fail as well.
Romney did not ship a single jon overseas. Just for the record.

"Prerogative"? Do you speak English?
