Equivalent rate of 193,000/month.
This doesn't include God knows how many from small businesses that don't fall under the WARN act.
Who needs jobs when we have free condoms.
Is there a list somewhere with new businesses openning and new job hires and where?
God help us.
This should really help bump up that “Food Stamp Growth 75X Greater than Job Creation”.
They'll learn soon enough, that they're not only NOT going to get what Obama promised, but what little they might have will be taken away. I have NO pity for stupid Obama voters. They deserve the misery coming their way.
What’s up with gas prices? They’ve gone up around 25 cents/gallon around here since the election.
Please! Let me be the first to say, “BUSH’S FAULT!”
*SMIRK*
Don’t we need something like 400K jobs gained per MONTH just to keep up with the birthrate?
Where are Biden’s 4 MILLION JOBS A MONTH that he was in charge of creating?
We’re so screwed. No, we are so absolutely F*$&ED, that it’s no longer funny...
The private sector is doing fine. - Barack Obama
Do we only keep tabs on fallen soldiers when a republican is in charge? The media is so damned biased politically that it makes me want to puke.......
This needs to be front and cover story on the top 100 newspapers in the country. Every month. Double dare them.
-UNEXPECTED-
So Romney could have saved 45,000 just by being elected.
That’s about a trillion dollars worth, in Porkulus terms.
Are these just announced layoffs, or actual people already out of work? Also, how many are layoffs unconnected to the election, i.e. are any of these due to the end of temporary situations or failed business models/competition? I think one of the “companies” on that list is the Anniston weapons depot, which is stopping work because they don’t have any more weapons to destroy. Another is RocketDyne which is downsizing because they lost the space race to Space-X.
How soon before Obama has a directive 10-289 (Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged, New York: Random House, 1957):
In the name of the general welfare, to protect the people’s security, to achieve full equality and total stability, it is decreed for the duration of the national emergency that:
Point One. All workers, wage earners and employees of any kind whatsoever shall henceforth be attached to their jobs and shall not leave nor be dismissed nor change employment, under penalty of a term in jail. The penalty shall be determined by the Unification Board, such Board to be appointed by the Bureau of Economic Planning and National Resources. All persons reaching the age of twenty-one shall report to the Unification Board, which shall assign them to where, in its opinion, their services will best serve the interests of the nation.
Point Two. All industrial, commercial, manufacturing and business establishments of any nature whatsoever shall henceforth remain in operation, and the owners of such establishments shall not quit nor leave nor retire, nor close, sell or transfer their business, under penalty of the nationalization of their establishment and of any and all of their property.
Point Three. All patents and copyrights, pertaining to any devices, inventions, formulas, processes and works of any nature whatsoever, shall be turned over to the nation as a patriotic emergency gift by means of Gift Certificates to be signed voluntarily by the owners of all such patents and copyrights. The Unification Board shall then license the use of such patents and copyrights to all applicants, equally and without discrimination, for the purpose of eliminating monopolistic practices, discarding obsolete products and making the best available to the whole nation. No trademarks, brand names or copyrighted titles shall be used. Every formerly patented product shall be known by a new name and sold by all manufacturers under the same name, such name to be selected by the Unification Board. All private trademarks and brand names are hereby abolished.
Point Four. No new devices, inventions, products, or goods of any nature whatsoever, not now on the market, shall be produced, invented, manufactured or sold after the date of this directive. The Office of Patents and Copyrights is hereby suspended.
Point Five. Every establishment, concern, corporation or person engaged in production of any nature whatsoever shall henceforth produce the same amount of goods per year as it, they or he produced during the Basic Year, no more and no less. The year to be known as the Basic or Yardstick Year is to be the year ending on the date of this directive. Over or under production shall be fined, such fines to be determined by the Unification Board.
Point Six. Every person of any age, sex, class or income, shall henceforth spend the same amount of money on the purchase of goods per year as he or she spent during the Basic Year, no more and no less. Over or under purchasing shall be fined, such fines to be determined by the Unification Board.
Point Seven. All wages, prices, salaries, dividends, profits, interest rates and forms of income of any nature whatsoever, shall be frozen at their present figures, as of the date of this directive.
Point Eight. All cases arising from and rules not specifically provided for in this directive, shall be settled and determined by the Unification Board, whose decisions will be final.
America was given a choice, jobs or food-stamps. The swing states picked food-stamps.
All I care about is where is my free contraception?
That is good. I hope every one of them were an obama voter.
Oh, good!! The BLS figure just dropped to 5.5%, Right?
