Many of the new jobs were part time. The number of Americans who said they were working part-time but would prefer full-time work jumped 322,000 to 8.2 million. That's the most in eight months.
And you wonder why Obama just threw Obamacare under the bus?
Yeah, that’s the same thing I was reading in another article on ZH:
In June, the household survey reported that part-time jobs soared by 360,000 to 28,059,000 - an all time record high. Full time jobs? Down 240,000.********
So the quantity of jobs is passable, but if you dig a little deeper you find job quality is awful. Lots of low wage, part time jobs hence the continuing collapse in disposable incomes.
And you wonder why Obama just threw Obamacare under the bus?
Libs claiming the GOP created obbbammmacare.
Obama will be gone soon. Let’s call it what it really is:
DemCare or DemocratCare
Obama didn’t write this or pass it on his own. The entire Democratic Party was waiting for this, blew it at HilaryCare and it was reborn as Obamacare.
What do those two and the Senators and Congressmen who passed the ACA all have in common?
They called these part-time jobs “summer jobs” when I was young. This economy is in a downward spiral because employment opportunities which were plentiful only 5-6 years ago are disappearing today.
People today cling to their jobs (if they are lucky enough to have a job) for dear life. That is unless you happen to work in Washington, DC; then, you are living in a boom-town with the taxpayers’ money as an unlimited financial resource. That is why our Federal government is the largest single employer in the world.
The Soviet Union had 100% employment because you belonged to and therefore worked for the state whether you wanted to or not.
