If a Republican is President, these problems getting a job are absolutely positively 100% his fault and no one else’s.
If a Democrat is President, the problem is just “there.” It’s the fault of every one of us, or it’s the fault of America’s stubborn continuation of the capitalist model, or its the fault of the weather, or its the fault of foreign competition, etc., etc., ad infinitum, ad nauseum.
“The non-English survey participants were less likely to report their household economy was experiencing a downturn and were more optimistic about the next generation’s economic future,”
That’s what happens when you pay no taxes; you find work under the table (because you cost less than legitimate workers) and you still get the freebies (rent, healthcare, food stamps, etc.).
What will they do? Will they dig, scrub or mop?
Most employers can't afford to hire you out of pity, you've got to have something they need, even if it's only the right attitude.
“Elusive” means you have a hard time finding something. That’s a world of difference from “I have a job but who knows if I’ll have one next week.” So what? No one knows that. To the extent it’s any worse now than it ever is, it’s the fault of liberal policy and the guys that I bet about 90% of the respondents vote for. Maybe next time they won’t do that.
The solution by liberals and the republican elites is to just swamp the neighborhood with illegals.
The United Way is a notorious family-breaking organization that promotes social pathologies.
I realized something this morning, watching PBS for a Texas travel episode, next was MotorWeek with its array of $40K+ vehicles: there’s no working-class car show on any channel for those of us who don’t work in the public sector.
In Austin it’s particularly obvious in traffic who works for the gov (and hasn’t felt an ounce of pain since the ‘08 crash) vs. all the private-sector people driving 5,6,7,8+ year-old cars, you can see it before you even glimpse the .gov parking stickers on the windshield, with the Zero bumper stickers.
What they don’t tell you in Baltimore is that the property tax rate is nearly twice of that of the surrounding counties.
My stepfather was paying around $ 2,000 a year on his house in Baltimore for the crap whole shity of Baltimore.... Yes, my nickname for city, The Shity of Baltimore...
Sorry mods, there is no other way to discribe the city of Baltimore... I know the rules here on propanity.... But in this case the city of Baltimore deserves it.
Did the interviews include “Did you graduate from high school”? A question like that is a no-no for the libs.
• Burmese-speaking participants reported median annual household income of $17,000, which was $2,000 a year more than English speakers.
Anybody notice this?
The whole post on Joe Legal vs. Jose Illegal comes to mind. I don't remember the details, but the basics are that Jose Illegal has about $10K more in disposable income because Joe Legal may earn more, but keeps less because Jose Illegal qualifies for a cornucopia of government programs with Joe Legal earns too much to qualify for . . .
Has to bush’s fault.
These low income people can also be classified as low skill, low education, and unreliable. I have sympathy for them because the have not prepared themselves to be employed and their life will be very hard with no job security.
At the same time I can see why employers consider them of little value.
I know, lets blame "the rich". It's all their fault. Let's raise their taxes so the government can punish them for, well, being rich.
Seriously folks, do you remember a couple years ago, pre-election, the democrats came up with the war on the 1%. Why doesn't someone with the ability to communicate, explain why punishing the 1% not only doesn't work, but retards economic development - i.e. the creation of jobs!
I bet your city had a few high paying factory jobs in the 50s...Studebaker, for one. I’d blame the union especially the UAW.
