SEIU paid protesters to help the employment numbers close to the election to make Obama look better. If they hired thousands for 4 hours 1 day a week in every major city for a couple of months it would make a dent in the numbers but no real help for workers. Combine that with Obama Administration asks companies to delay layoffs, notices; says government will pay any legal bills. Obama has fired most of his campaign staff. Fiscal cliff & Obama-care are causing more layoffs & down markets.
