BI seems to be a commie lying rag akin to The Economist.
I call Bolshevik on these numbers and stats and would be very interested to know of these increased jobs, how many are part time jobs that are multiples held by the same person trying to make up income lost when their original jobs hours were cut so the employer could avoid paying for insurance.
Hot?
” There is still plenty of evidence that making unemployment benefits too stingy is a bad idea, especially when an economy hits the skids. If people feel forced to take the first job that comes their way, they are unlikely to pick the one in which they are most productive.”
What an idiotic comment! So doing nothing is more productive than doing something?
The answer is...THEY COOKED THE BOOKS, STUPID!!
Remember, those of you remaining so far in the quietly dwindling middle class. Austerity measures are slickly done here, in the States. When you are unexpectedly dropped from the shrinking economy as a surprised individual, recovery will continue to be in full swing according to the sponsored media. The door will permanently close behind you. The enormous numbers of government-supported jobs lost over the next few years won’t be coming back, either.
“Researchers at the Economic Policy Institute, a leftish think-tank, said the cuts would destroy 310,000 jobs by dampening demand.”
The Economic Policy Institute may well be left-wing, but I suspect that these economists actually do care about their reputations - but I guess they don’t. I guess it was more important to score points against those damn Republicans...and look like TOTALLY IDIOTS. The idea that paying people not to work would somehow CREATE JOBS is simply insane.
Most slackers have figured out the way to run out their temporary unemployment and to get onto the more permanent and higher paying disability. The most common way being to pig out on the EBT and get morbidly obese.
Obama is just one of the drones.. in the hive..
Washington D.C. is all commies...... all the time..
Thousands of them... barfing a deadly honey..
The Collective is unified.. resistance is futile..
UNLESS you remove the power from their COLD DEAD HANDS..
Work has increased if you were in oil/retrieval technology related industries.
That is dying rapidly now thanks to our pals in Saudi Arabia.
Those darn Republicans, heartlessly putting people to work.
