TOPICS: Business/Economy; Culture/Society
KEYWORDS:
The pace seems to have slowed since the first few weeks.

However, these are only the ones reported in the press, it's anyone's guess how many weren't publicized.

There are also 538 businesses that were reported as closed without reporting any job losses.

Doesn’t include the ones laid off just before, either. Boeing was going through people pretty quick, so was one of their sub-corps, Jeppesen. Jepp probably laid off more than 100 in the few months prior.

Remember when obama took credit for jobs created and SAVED?

What about people laid-off and jobs NEVER created...?

“Further proof that elections have consequences.”

They sure do.

Unfortunately the Republican Party is bent on losing year after election year. They appearantly enjoy playing second fiddle to, well, just about anybody.

The GOP-e is becoming more irrelevant every day, a dictator’s official opposition.

Obama told them to wait til after the election to announce any layoffs. Guess they did.

“Further proof that elections have consequences.”

I thought that 2012 disproved that; any negative fallout from 2008 that should have cost Obama the election (horrible economy, high unemployment/underemployment, inflation) was somehow turned into Republican problems by Obama’s media. If unemployment is at 50% in 2016, I don’t assume the Repubs will win anything.

See upthread about Republicans being determined to lose; it is the obvious conclusion to a party that says things but never makes a stand for them, which the Republican party has a history of doing.
