What kind of economic recovery in a jobs based economy does not include jobs?
Economic recovery is not in the cards. IMHO
But Bozo will keep telling us it is until
we’re too weak to care or fight back.
Again, if this were a Republican administration trying to pass off a jobless bounce in some statistics as a "recovery" they would be boiled in oil in the media.
What recovery. There is NO recovery.
As long as Americans are unemployed at a 10% rate NO recovery.
Although if you think about it a lot of Zeros friends are going to make a hellova lot of $$$$$$$$$.
That's easy! One that is designed to break the middle class and end American Liberty.
One that isn’t really happening except for the one the media created to keep Obama’s approval from hitting 30%!
People are going to have to create their own jobs, instead. Forget the old path of getting a job; you've got to make your own job in the new world.
The hiring train has been derailed, otherwise.
For example, I lease some of my land to a man who "runs cattle" on my property. He was always dirt poor, so he could never before buy enough land to be in the cattle business on his own, but he can cash-flow enough from his cattle to pay me for a grass lease. He doesn't own the land, but he's created his own job. It's a rancher's version of share-cropping, with cattle.
I have another man, a long-time friend of the family, who pays me to bring his clients out for boar hunts on my ranch. Sometimes he'll do deer, as a trophy or two has been bagged out there. I prefer the turkey, ducks, and quail. He's created his own job. He doesn't own the land, yet he can be paid for his hunts.
I'll let the odd kid now and again fish out there to earn a few coins from the local seafood restaurant. Catfish and perch are tasty! Those kids have created their own jobs. No one is hiring them. No one is sending them a paycheck, yet they are earning money on their own.
The NY Times ran an article about an aviation man known as "The Grim Reaper." He repo's airplanes for banks from deadbeats. He's making 6 figures, yet he's not on any company's payroll. He's just out there, getting paid for each aircraft that he brings in.
In all of the above, those guys are creating their own jobs. To me, that's the same concept as the independent dentist or chiropractor with his own little office. That paradigm works. You may not believe it now because as Alvin Toffler says in Future Shock, the new change is something that we deny at first, yet this is how to earn a living by creating your own job. This is the answer going forward.
There won't be a month that goes by that a vagrant or migrant will miss coming by to offer to kill catus (a back-breaking job that is best done by hand because the chemicals that kill those plants take more than a year to reach the roots) or to cut brush. Again, these people are hustling...making their own jobs.
I've been there. I've panned for gold in national parks, built fences, logged trees, cleared trails, etc.
People *can* create their own jobs. Buy a used tow truck and start driving the highways...those people stranded in their broken-down cars need your help...and they are your next "paycheck." Tow truck owners here in Alabama routinely gross $90k per year.
Those who realize that the corporate career hiring track has ended will fair better than those who don't realize/accept that they can/must create their own jobs outside of the old corporate structure.
We've got "change." The old corporate hiring structure is gone. Companies have to downsize, not hire. Lots of guys are newly laid off competing for whatever salaried jobs are left. That's like being one of 10,000 guys in some remote Canadian mining town competing for the one single girl. Don't be one of those 10,000.
Adapt before everyone else. Create your own job.
