How many of those is the government counting as unemployed? And how many are considered “ no longer looking?”

Somebody please insert line of job seekers lining up during the Great Depression. Would do it myself but don’t have the skills.

Many years ago, I worked as a seasonal employee at Target. It really is a good company to work for.

Natalie Bryant said her skills, personality and "great looks" will help her get a job. Gezzzz...People have to beg for a job at some retail joint paying 1990s wages?
Bet few if any will get full time either..Ya know what that means!
Welcome to the new America....

Compare and contrast the media’s coverage of this during a Republican vs. a Democrat administion....
Under a Republican administration...”This shows what the economy has reduced people to, McJobs.”
Under a Democratic administration...”200 new jobs shows that Obama’s economy is improving.”

People in ABQ are probably getting desperate:

leading the country in job losses and in people leaving. The state policies not controlling illegals are probably having overwhelming detrimental effects.

That’s the curent view. It gets worse. As the private sector shrivels up the guvmint will offer brown shirt jobs at IRS, gun monitoring, monitoring enemies of the state etc.

Out of a few thousand applications Target will be lucky to end up with a few hundred remotely qualified applicants. Flipping through names from both stories I come up with DUIs, shoplifting, assault on a police officer, kidnapping, drugs, assault with a deadly weapon, possession of a weapon by a felon among others. Natalie might make a good employee but Pauly looks to be headed for a career making license plates. That's just day-to-day life in Albuquerque.
The only people from either story that I would hire with any confidence are the two people who are retiring.

Wanna bet 98% of them were merely putting in their application to say they applied and didn’t get hired to keep their unemployment check coming?
