Yeah, the economy added jobs, but they are not “career” positions. They are PART-TIME jobs. Under the magic number of 30 hours.
So these are benefit free jobs, and the attack on the middle-class continues, and the New Republic celebrates.
I heard someone from Veteran services on the radio the other day - he said the jobs being offered to returning vets were part-time and paid $10 or less an hour.
But the government says “there are plenty of jobs out there” - sure, but not jobs one can support a family, or even oneself on.
