Why not have the Leviathan hire everyone and have no unemployment. Problem solved.....
How can they classify government workers are unemployed? For instance, if you’re unemployed, regardless of the industry, you’re unemployed. But how can you classify someone as unemployed in/from the government? This doesn’t make any sense to me.
Are they saying that unemployed persons who were former government employees account for only 3.8% of total unemployed?
Yes, it is "progressives" who have taken America back to the Old World ideas which preceded the great experiment in ordered liberty, bringing America to its knees before the world under a regime which pretends to "take care of" us.
Thomas Jefferson warned Americans:
"To preserve [the] independence [of the people,] we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our election between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude. If we run into such debts as that we must be taxed in our meat and in our drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our labors and our amusements, for our callings and our creeds, as the people of England are, our people, like them, must come to labor sixteen hours in the twenty-four, give the earnings of fifteen of these to the government for their debts and daily expenses, and the sixteenth being insufficient to afford us bread, we must live, as they now do, on oatmeal and potatoes, have no time to think, no means of calling the mismanagers to account, but be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow-sufferers." --Thomas Jefferson to Samuel Kercheval, 1816. ME 15:39
Note Jefferson's very last thought here. He declares that when government taxing and debt have reached certain levels, in order for individuals to survive, then their chosen "employment" becomes "hiring ourselves to rivet their (the government's) chains on the necks of our fellow-sufferers." Might that account for why it is government employment levels which have risen at such great rates in the past 2 years?
Inasmuch as government creates no wealth and has no money, the pay for every job in government must first come out of the pockets of hardworking citizens in the private sector or be borrowed (to be paid back eventually from the pockets of future generations).
Ahhh, guess that's what you call "redistributing" wealth! In Jefferson's words, it's called "rivet(ing) chains on the necks of our fellow-sufferers."
TSA at my Airport went on a MASSIVE hiring spree starting back in July.
They now have so many people, they have no idea what to do with them. At times, they have four “Strollers” in each concourse, with no passengers there, at all.
And this is just a medium-sized, mostly RJ airport. Your tax dollars at work saving Obama’s reelection. Hopey-changey, suckers.
I wonder if the count things such as teachers and nurses hired on federal grants.
So 3.8% are unemployed. Of the 96.2% how many are working?
Do you all realize this is it? This IS the victory for the people who hate freedom. What can you do when the government is employing so many people? You can’t cut it and it can’t be supported. No one is going to vote themselves out of a job. This is it. Things are going to start to domino very quickly, bullets will fly, blood will be spilled.
I don’t like it but there is absolutely nothing that can be done to stop it. Look to the Lord.
When, not if, the economy collapses, I hope that the parasitic bureaucratic political class is brutally destroyed -- They must lose their fake jobs, their real pensions and their property. They must be left impoverished and living on the streets.
I’d like to understand how if you are unemployed you become a government worker. If you ain’t got a job you are simply unemployed. A government worker is working for a government someplace. If that person looses a job they are no longer a government worker. So how do you come up with 3.8% of them?
