Agree was surprise with all the shut down.

Where is all the hiring at?

I can say this though.... I am not going to disclose the name, but I work for a very well known Fortune 500 company. We did hire a bunch of people recently.

So I am curious who was hiring big time.

Good news.I hate to see good people needing work.It’s also good for the President...if there are clear signs of a rebound in October that will help him enormously.Unless,of course,some new drug addled black guy with a bum ticker decides to resist arrest.

Honestly didn't see that coming! Good news!

Was watching Fox Business this morning and they were predicting 19% and losing another ton of jobs!

UNEXPECTED!

L o l

True this website is very depressing all it does is post Twitter feed from the left and reports from CNN/NYT/ etc.. its nonstop barrage of hate and despair. It’s what’s happening but sometimes it would be nice to get some good news.

That poster put up an article from November by accident I’m sure.

I'm pretty sure that thread is incorrect. Or is from a few months ago.

That tells you all you need to know about the Dimms - they succeed when America is going bad. Evil people.
