hello america!!! last weeks jobless claims has been revised from 439,000 to 451,000. this weeks new jobless claims is 410,000. if you remember, the gov't & others blamed the high numbers on superstorm sandy. while one might believe that business's could not open or get their employees in, the flip side of that is all the extra work the storm created...
well, i have some concerns---this is the retailers busiest time of the year with thanksgiving tomorrow & christmas right around the corner. so, hiring should have been up. the mail-order & internet business's even pick up. hell, fedex, ups & the post office hire extra employees for these times. everybody's geared up for black friday. so, there's got to be more to our high jobless claims then superstorm sandy...
let's see::::40 states & territories had an increase in claims while 13 had a decrease ; 3.34 million people (as of nov 10th) are collecting unemployment benefits; 2.19 million people (as of nov 3rd) are collecting emergency or extended benefits.
this is the labor dep't link...http://www.dol.gov/opa/media/press/eta/ui/current.htm#.UKzgGOTBGYU
you don't have to be a calculus major to know we have serious jobs problems &, regardless of who's doing the math, the numbers are horrible. for the past 4 years, we've all heard the rhetoric coming from obama & company that they are the only ones with the 'vision' to put america back to work. &, we all know that that 'vision' was applied to our problems &, here it is, 4 years later & we're told it takes more time...so , i guess we have to wait & see that which we already know---obama has no idea how to put us back to work but, he sounds so convincing & sincere when he says he does.........

4 MORE YEARS IS A LONG TIME!!!
hello america!!! here's your jobs situation...http://www.dailyjobcuts.com/ layoffs & closings continue despite what obama & company tell you. if you went to the link, you'll know that november has not been kind to the jobs market.
while some have lost their job & can't find a suitable replacement, i happen to know of a young man that is working two jobs to make ends meet:::fork lifter by day & security by night. that tells me all i need to know about our moving 'forward'. good paying jobs are hard to come by &, keeping your present job is up in the air. there is nobody in the obama admin that seems to know what to do to get our economy growing at the rate we need it to grow at. we've had four years of why our unemployment numbers are so high & no action to reverse the course.
& america, you voted for four more years of this!!! he's already said he wants more teachers, firemen &, policemen; infrastructure jobs; job training programs; &, 'green' investments. how does that move our economy forward? it did not work the first time &, it will not work now.
regardless of who you voted for, one thing remains extremely clear: when we need a true leader the most, he disappears. his overseas visit could have waited because the 'fiscal cliff' & 'jobs' should be his number one priority.

947 COMING SOON!!!
hello america!!! while some of you may think you're 'safe' with your employment & healthcare coverage, i'm here to tell you that we are now seeing is only the beginning of our 'new normal' &, here is yet another company's reaction to obamacare...http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/11/16/medical-supply-giant-stryker-corp-makes-pre-emptive-strike-against-pending/
while obama & company were so quick to tell you that obamacare is the greatest thing since sunshine, many of you just accepted it &, you rejected the repubs arguments against it. regardless of which side you're on, the director of the CBO (douglas elmendorf) testified before congress (2011) & said that obamacare would cause 800,000 not to be working---some because of loss of jobs & others for walking away from working & getting obamacare. i'm here to tell you that 800,000 number will be a lot higher before all is said & done.
company's electing to 'stay the course' may continue to offer you healthcare & uncut hours in 2013 but, come 2014, you're going to be on your own...we still have a ton of regulations that have been issued but not yet evaluated so, their impact on business's & jobs is unknown. besides, who in the hell has the time to sort through all of them?
because i'm such a nice guy, i'm going to put the gov'ts own regulations posting website here...http://www.regulations.gov/#%21home;tab=search what should have caught your eye was the 'last 90 days' where 6,051 regulations were issued &, the 'next 90 days' where 947 new regulations will be issued. as a business owner, you have to balance profit against acceptable losses &, when the gov't starts taking more, you have to react to keep your books balanced. unfortunately, that requires cut hours, layoffs, raising prices or, closing your doors for good.
by the way, how many of those regulations did you actually read?

YOU WANTED IT, YOU GOT IT, NOW TRY LIVING WITH IT!!!
hello america!!! it's amazing that what obama & company told you about obamacare is exactly the opposite of reality but, hey, who am i to say i told you so. when the repubs said obamacare would stifle job growth, you laughed. when they told you, you wouldn't be able to keep your same coverage, you laughed. well good people, it's no longer a laughing matter because people are getting their full time hours cut to 30 hours or less per week &, are losing their healthcare coverage. less hours worked=less revenue the gov't can collect. those people that lose their present company healthcare coverage will be required to obtain their own gov't approved coverage or try to qualify for obamacare.
now, you might argue that company's are greedy however, when you point that finger, look in the mirror. one starts a company to make money. PERIOD! what's so wrong with that? most of you have jobs to either stay afloat or to get ahead. when the costs of goods, services & gasoline go up, the gov't continues to take their share from you; all of your bills still have to be paid & hey, two options you don't have are: layoff some of your family or print more money. you have to cut back. just imagine things as they now are & the gov't comes out with this 'milage tax' that they've been talking about. you're either going to pay the difference or drive less, whereas, companies have the ability to raise their prices or cut employees hours to pay the difference.
you wanted obamacare & now, we will have to suffer through it together. yes, there are some good things in it however, it's not doing what it was designed to do. healthcare costs have steadily been going up. company's are very reluctant to hire more people because nobody (&, i mean nobody) knows what the full effects of obamacare will have on them. they do know they'll have to pay more money & for them, it's easier & cheaper to cut your hours & just drop your coverage...
&, just so you'll know that there are others that think as i do, please read this...http://www.gopusa.com/commentary/2012/11/16/malkin-hows-that-obamacare-waiver-workin-out-for-ya/?subscriber=1

CORRECTION!!!
hello america!!! this morning i stated that 627 hostess twinkie workers would be out of work...this is the correction to that number: the new number is 18,500 people because hostess has closed its doors....
AMERICA, STRAIGHT TALK!!!
hello america!!! here's your jobs situation...http://www.dailyjobcuts.com/ &, as usual, there is no good news here, in fact, it seems november took a heavy toll on jobs. if you'll scroll down to nov 1st, you know exactly what i am talking about. between the layoffs, bankruptcies &, closings, good paying jobs are hard to come by or keep.
you may be okay at the moment but, tomorrow is another thing...look at this...http://www.dailynews.com/business/ci_21969400/bankrupt-bakers-footwear-liquidating-21-los-angeles-area?source=most_viewed while no specific number of layoffs has been mentioned, when you close 150 stores, you have a minimum of 2/3 employees per store.
the above is a great example of failed economic policies. yeah, i know, i'm still hating...well, read the following & then tell me it's hate.....
let's just concentrate on bakers footwear & assume they have just 2 employees per store---that's 300 people out of work; that's also 300 people the gov't can no longer collect revenue from; that's 300 people that won't be financially contributing to their communities as much because they'll start spending less; their community goods & services will not be able to collect TAXES as much as before meaning, out fed gov't gets even less revenue; those business's will have to cut back on employee hours to offset the loss.
well just multiply that by, say, http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-505123_162-57548662/hostess-brands-shuts-down-three-bakeries-after-strike/ where 627 people will soon be out of jobs.
here's one more...http://www.foxbusiness.com/news/2012/11/15/procter-gamble-plans-more-job-cuts-boosts-buyback-program-50/ they're talking about 5,900 people losing their jobs by june 30th &, i'm certain, you have something from procter-gamble in your home.
what part of 'we are not going forward' do you not understand? i'm not hating---just posting facts. if obamas plans had worked, we would not be where we are now. by the way, 439,000 new jobless claims were filed last week &, even though the gov't wants to blame it on superstorm sandy, the numbers don't add to support their claim. ny had 2,241 claims, nj had 5,675 &, connecticut had 1,783.......so, the increase was not due to the storm.
while i am extremely happy that america re-elected a black man to run the country, i just wish it were a black man that had some sense of business because, we desperately need jobs---not more rhetoric...
