Is it true that when a temporary agency signs on a worker (and he or she fills out a tax form) that the “employment” is listed as a real job? I know a guy who is out of work and he signed onto three different temp agencies. He never once, in two months, has been able to obtain even a day of work with any of the agencies. He said that when he went in to sign up there were lots of people also signing up.
If temp agency sign ups are counted then there are thousands of “jobs” being counted out there that do not exist.
First of all, I want to emphasize that jobs have not been counted. The numbers are simply panicky guesses pulled out of thin air.
This is a good time to ask.
FR is a microcosm of our country. At least in terms of employed non-government taxpayers who contribute positively to the economy and the expenses of government, all by themselves.
I can't turn my brain off and accept the absurd notion that government employees create wealth, which is the only possible way to expand total national wealth, the cure for the discredited mercantilism of the 18th Century.
Is there a thread where Freepers can contribute to the real state of our economy by listing jobs losses (or gains) on a personal level?
I would like to contribute to that thread, if it exists. If it does not, perhaps start one.
