Record 95, 102,000 Americans not in labor force; number grew 18%

And I am one of them. My premium more than doubled and my coverage is not as good. Although I know that some people did need the protection this law apparently afforded them, those of us who did not need the govt's help with this issue should not be penalized for it - especially in this so-called free country. So either repeal it and start over or fix the areas in it that do not work. ...

.S. job openings jumped to a record high in June, outpacing hiring, the latest indication that companies are having trouble finding qualified workers. The Labor Department said on Tuesday that job openings, a measure of labor demand, increased 461,000 to a seasonally adjusted 6.2 million. That was the highest level since the series started in December 2000 and pushed the jobs openings rate up two-tenths of a percentage point to a near one-year high of 4.0 percent. The monthly increase in ...

It seems Romney wants the people to believe that a democrat is actually "gutting" welfare. Really? He does realize Obama is a democrat? LOL.

By Andrew McLemoreSaturday, March 27th, 2010 -- 6:25 pm Hatred is getting a lot of press this week as reports of violent harassment against Congressional Democrats continue to surface. It began last weekend with Tea Party activists shouting racist and bigoted comments at House Democrats during the final push for health care reform. But new research shows the Tea Party may be the nice guys amid soaring numbers of hate groups. An "astonishing" 363 anti-government or "Patriot" groups appeared in ...

The head of the BLS is a nonpolitical position. The commissioner serves a 4-year term. The chief analyst from Moodys siad the recent job growth statistics are unambiguously solid, gains were broad across industries, job hours were up, as well as wage growth. Other parts of the economy are also showing improvement including housing and retail and consumer confidence. I do not understand why Republicans are so quick to fall for every conspiracy theory that come ...

under a new piece of legislation introduced in the state's House of Representatives, employers would be able to pay anyone under the age of 20 as little as $5.25 an hour for their first 180 days on the job. The bill, LD 1346, also eliminates the maximum number of hours a minor 16 years of age or older can work on a school day and allows a minor under the age of 16 to work up to four hours on a school day during hours when school is not in session. With Maine's unemployment above ...

I'm afraid Obama's ship is sinking. If no health care is passed, he sinks and by passing HC taxing the middle class, he sinks.

Here's hoping it may spread to those companies in the rest of the world that work for slave wages doing work that should be done here; i.e., MT, toy manufacturing, etc. If they would also strike, walkout in protest, or the myriad other things they do, maybe some of the jobs will come back home. (I can hope, can't I?) BEIJING -- China has been hit with a recent wave of labor unrest, including strikes and partial shutdowns of factories, underscoring what experts call one of the ...

- is that Obama had these numbers when he stood up and made his speech last night. The POTUS is always advised of the numbers on the day before any significant labor (or other economic) numbers are released. So I think it's pretty fair, at this point, to call Obama an unmitigated, narcissistic liar to stand before the American people and beg for four more years when he had been given even more evidence than he already had that there is no justification on earth to give his failed pol ...

Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis has stepped down. The first Latina to lead a federal agency, Solis joined the Obama administration back in 2009 after representing California in the House of Representatives.

She calls her departure “one of the most difficult decisions” she has made. “Growing up in a large Mexican-American family in La Puente, Cali ...

...what the #$%^ have you been waiting for while tens of thousands of Syrian citizens have been slaughtered? Maybe Obama's decided he doesn't want to go out of office with the reputation of being the world's biggest wimp - the man who said "I dare ya to knock this chip off my shoulder" and then blinked repeatedly when Assad, Putin, the Ayatollah and Kim Jong-Un did just that. Too late, Barry. Your shameful legacy will echo down through the pages of history forever - ...

Does "vetting" mean the (apparent) absence of negative information? If so, it is not vetting at all. People who do background investigations will know what I mean. Vetting starts with a POSITIVE CONFIRMATION OF IDENTITY, and goes on from there. If Hillary Clinton really MEANS proper vetting, HER POSITION IS BARELY DIFFERENT FROM TRUMP'S. The simple fact is that there is no way to properly vet most individuals who come from Syria, Libya, etc. Give it up and fa ...

All congressmen and federal employees have better healthcare insurance than everyone else; they are exempt from Obamacare.

They're blocking a highway but the police state they won't let it become Albuquerque. Big police presence and when a protester tries something, they go after them. Trump really loves to aggravate the situation, doesn't he? His hateful tweets? If someone gets injured really bad, I hope they sue the pants off him. He is NOT presidential material. He doesn't have the right attitude or personality. He's a divider just like Obama. I wish people would wake up a ...

of the Republicans since day one of President Obama's presidency, before he had done anything good or bad, has been to make him a one-term president? I can see it being their second or third priority, but #1? Shouldn't the first priority be working together for the welfare of our country and the citizens who elected them? I also find it quite odd that during this administration anytime something bad occurs Obama is responsible, anytime good things happen he gets no ...
