“Unemployed Americans who might not have put feelers out in the past are also venturing back into the hunt for a job, she said. On Indeed’s search engine, much of the growth in queries lately has been for positions like full-time cashier, mobile home park manager, maintenance person and fulfillment associate.

‘This is an indicator that low-skilled workers are seeing opportunities for themselves in the labor market,’ Ms. Gimbel said.”

It’s real.

Just in the last couple of days, I noticed a new employee in my local Walgreens who would have never been hired during Obama’s depression, when employers were picky:

A nice fellow, in his 60’s for sure, but with an enormous number of tattoos up and down both arms, on his neck, etc. Their uniform shirts there are short sleeved, so they are quite visible.

I’m seeing more and more of this everywhere. Good to see everyone is able to jump in the economy.

Amazing...but looking around here you see businesses hiring...my cashier yesterday at Winn Dixie looked like he was 15. I told the manager that he was very polite. He called everyone Sir or Ma’am.

"High school dropouts make up 7.2 percent of the labor force, and some experts doubted they and other low-skilled workers would ever fully recover from the effects of the recession, said Betsey Stevenson, a professor of economics at the University of Michigan." - NYTimes

Note the opening phrase of this report which begins with the phrase, "high school dropouts."

Knowledgeable persons who study the stories behind the statistics, if honest, could report that some of the most successful entrepreneurs in America have come from that "7.2 percent," or whatever percentage is accurate for any time period. Yet, the term "dropout" continues to be stamped on students who have opted out of the failed and failing institutions described as America's "public school system."

Often used as a perjorative, the term "dropout" often follows that student and identifies him/her, even after he/she has succeeded in some occupation or endeavor.

The "professors" who provide the statistics might benefit from pursuing a study of the rate of lifetime success among those public school students described as "dropouts." Perhaps, those professors might be surprised to learn that those "dropouts" simply were rejecting an institution which has failed miserably to provide a meaningful education for life and participation in a free society.
