This current jobless recovery or lower paying job recovery is a very dangerous trend to continue. It will certainly lead to a deep recession and a continued of deflation of the dollar. This will be very long and painful to grow out of and will make permanent changes in the American culture and our way of life.

Folks, the day of reckoning is not too far down the road. Lets make our decision before someone else does it for us.

There are PLENTY of jobs being created by this economy. The economic statistics that are being cited are deeply flawed. They don't measure jobs being created in India.

Califoria? It's always been the first state into recession and last one out since I first graduated from college in 1980. Why should this recession be any different. In fact, in lieu of the fact that it cost employers up to 10x more for power, more for water, 2-4x more for property, and as much as 2x for labor costs and payroll related costs, why should companies have a "brick and mortar" presence in California? Every job that can be exported, either overseas or across the border to AZ, NV, or OR, is being moved. The only reason I still have a job is that it was with a private contractor to a local (County) agency. My company proposed moving every last one of about 300 people in my organization to India, but the County refused to agree. As it was, we moved about 1/3 of the jobs to Texas, and a couple of other states, and have about 30 (of an original 100) foreign contractors on site.

The job hemorage coincides with the national problem, has been underway since the mid-ninties, and picked up a huge amount of steam about Y2000. California leads the way ... though the blunders of its politicians.

The report released Friday by the state Employment Development Department was discouraging to economists, who have long been expecting an upturn in hiring.

Aren't these the same folks who tell us that inflation is due to greedy workers demanding too much in wages???

(Obligatory sheesh)

The state's job losses continue because the DEMOCRAT state legislature will not support the changes Arnold wants to help bring business back into the state.

As usual .. it's the democrat party AGAINST THE GOOD OF THE STATE.
