Public sector employees continue to benefit from higher wages and non-wage benefits relative to their private sector counter parts. Coupled with the largeincrease in public sector employment in recent years, such wage premiums exert pressure on government expenditures and can eliminate any benefits obtained from tight fiscal management. Moreover, wage premiums distort local labour markets as public and private employers compete to attract and retain skilled workers.The public sector kills employment as it takes more and more from the private sector to sustain itself, however that can only last so long. Eventually the employees in the public sector will also have to face job loses and wage cuts as government spending keeps going off the charts to fund every promise made. The public sector cannot micro manage job creation for every individual in the country, the private sector is better and more efficiant at creating jobs that will meet those individual needs.
Theres ALWAYS the Army. How about you sign up so you don`t have to worry about this or is the military beneath your standards? Look at it this way, you will be provided for in every aspect and you will job that cannot be taken from you or lost. The military is the greatest Socialized employer in the world.
This is why I stopped posting here for a while, you have to repeat things over and over again like a fucking broken record. It takes 5 minutes to find example after example of hundreds of thousends of dollars spent to save 2 temporary jobs. One of the most inefficient money spending programs to restart job creation is touted as a sweeping success even after unemployment figures havent changed at all.
http://money.cnn.com/2010/04/02/news/economy/jobs_march/index.htm?hpt=T1Finally! Job growth returnsBy Chris Isidore, senior writerApril 2, 2010: 8:45 AM ETNEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- The economy had its biggest jump in jobs in three years in March, according to a government report released Friday.The Labor Department said the economy gained 162,000 jobs in the month, compared to a revised reading of a 14,000 job loss in February. That makes March only the third month since the start of 2008 that employers did not cut payrolls. Economists surveyed by Briefing.com had forecast a gain of 184,000 jobs.While the news was positive, there were a number of short-term factors that inflated the reading, including an addition of 48,000 by the Census Bureau as it geared up for the once-in-a-decade headcount of the U.S. population. March's count was also bolstered by seasonal factors -- February's numbers had been depressed by temporary job losses related to severe winter storms last month.Still the addition was good news for an economy that has suffered a net loss of 8.2 million jobs since the start of 2008, a month after the official start of the recession.January's reading was revised from a loss to a gain of 14,000 jobs, and February's job loss was also narrowed in the revision. The only other month with even a modest job gain was November 2009, when there was a net gain of 64,000 jobs.The unemployment rate held steady 9.7% in February, matching economist expectations.
This month:The economy added 123,000 private sector jobs in March, the most since May 2007This completely excludes 48,000 Census positions. So they do lead to some spending and tax revenut, but even if you toss them out - Obama had the best month in 34 months. Incluiding the last 21 months of the Bush reign.So even if you hate obama, you have to admit this is a pretty damn good jobs gain in the private sector.
More good stuff with a link to further opinion mixed with plenty of facts to back it up.http://dailycapitalist.com/2010/04/02/unemployment-remains-unchanged-in-march/#more-3896It seems that things aren't getting better and this current employment report really isn't positive when one considers ALL of the facts.Of course, some on here will take a deeper look and some will continue to be shallow idiots incapable of logic.
its a start
If we're looking at something like this come October...Wow, the dems will actually be able to say (accurately), that they inherited a year-long unemployment slide, completed the stim bill, and moved us from Bush's loss of 700k jobs a month to a gain of 300 or 400k jobs per month.he'll be able to blame it all on dubya, and clearly show that HE fixed shit. Politically, how will the repubs argue a chart like this? Pretend you are John "Hell no!" Bohnner or paul Ryan... what is your verbal response to a chart like this?
