 Where are all the new jobs they keep talking about ? Have you seen any of them?

I don't want to be a downer, or a poo pooer, or a kill joy, or a bucket of water on the fire or anything, but let us think about this a little further.

Yahoo is saying that because the unusually beautiful late winter, early spring weather we are having seems to be affecting people's perception. That stands to reason if it's nice sunny and warm outside that you would have a better, more upbeat and positive outlook on things. This might carryover in the jobs picture. Think about this, Yahoo was also saying that a lot of people like construction workers are naturally laid off during the winter, but this being such a mild winter, and the weather being wonderful, people in these professions can get rehired.

The reality on the street, on the ground, is a lot different than whats dished out in the news, which is becoming more and more of a propaganda tool for lefts and rights agenda's, depending on the channel you watch.

My wife saw on the internet a survey that said where we live is one of the best places to get a job.

"Really" Coming from someone who actually lives here, I don't see it. The vast majority of people I talk too are either underemployed, working two or three jobs to make ends meet, or more commonly are unemployed. God help the country if my little neck of the woods is the best place to get a job.

Why is it that the vast majority of government employees are unionized, when the private sector has very little union representation?  I've always hated that snarky, we're going to pull one off on the general public attitude that a lot of government workers have.

If employee productivity is at an all time high, and unemployment is also at an all time high, this should tell you that employers are really cracking the whip on their people, they refuse to hire new people when they can make all the current dumb dumb worker bee slaves do the extra work themselves. If American workers would slow down just a little bit, I'm not talking about a massive slowdown, then companies would be forced to hire more people, this would go a long way in helping solve the unemployment problem.

I know we all should be grateful to have a job, since millions don't, but employers should not be allowed to take advantage of us.

My wife saw a man pushing a woman, presumably his wife, in a wheelchair, with a child tagging along on the side of a busy and crowed street today. When you see something like that it jars you into understanding that life is good , life is really good for us because we don't have to be that couple today.
