iMcDonald's would only hire more employees because they need to meet a higher demand for their products. Higher demand for their products speaks to people spending more money at McDonalds than they were before. People spending more money at McDonalds can also be an indicator that people are out and about shopping for other things more often, and while out, they happen to be stopping at McDonalds for lunch.
That wouldn't necessarily be correct.
For many "families" fast-food is faster and cheaper than buying food and preparing it.

Because that's what happens when you marry Stupidity with Unions and Government.

Let's face the Truth. The Truth is that the majority of voters are incompetent. Generally, when someone is incompetent, you file suit for guardianship ad litem, and as guardian you handle their affairs for them, since they are too incompetent to manage their own affairs.
That's effectively what the governor has done. The people of Benton Harbor have repeatedly proven themselves to be incompetent and so he has appointed a guardian ad litem to manage their affairs for them.
"The only reason the McJobs are left is because they haven't been able to outsource those...and believe me, I'm sure they've tried. " yes they did try, in our one McDs they tried a test in which you placed your order yourself at a kiosk and fed your checkcard or cash into a little slot. They took it out after a year. Although most of the grocery stores now have the self serves. which I NEVER use btw... as they always seem to malfunction.
I would say the laidoff engineers are working at Radioshak and Bestbuy - yes I have met them there.
Tech workers like Mersy are coveted commodities as the high-tech industry undergoes its biggest hiring binge in more than a decade. Not since the dot-com bubble of the early 2000s has competition been so fierce.
...
Nearly 150,000 tech jobs are expected to be added this year, says Sophia Koropeckyj, an economist at Moody’s Analytics. In February, there were about 6.1 million tech jobs in the U.S., up 2.4% from a year ago.
How many of these jobs are being given to natural-born American citizens? Most tech jobs in the last decade have been filled by people with H1-B visas.
Are you saying that the CEOs, and the financial managers in businesses like software, etc.--and the legal professionals, healthcare professionals, teachers, academics etc. are going to lose their jobs....over what?
And then you answered your own question:

Seems like an obvious overkill that needs adjustment.

The current H1B cap is 65k, and that covers jobs like architects, engineers, computer programmers, accountants, doctors, veterinarian, dentist, registered nurse, business managers, and college professors. (from wiki)
I think you missed my point. I was asking if you thought people in most professions were going to lose their jobs over any adverse economic situation either upon us or coming down the road. You clarified that by saying that your point was that the trend is for people who LOSE or LOST their jobs are unlikely to find another based on the level of job they had.
In my second question, I was asking why there were these many administrators in the first place in one tiny town. That would be a NATURAL cause for layoffs even in better times.
If I am a millionaire, and my next door neighbor is living paycheck to paycheck, I've got to be the stupidest mutherf#(%er on the planet to want to open up a joint bank account with him. How did we let these guys ever convince us to merge our great economy with dirt poor countries around the world? I will never understand it.
The U.S. does nothing without creating a superior advantage. The dirt poor countries we've chosen are the ones with the natural resources.
And there's also plenty of people capable of doing tech and science jobs who HAVE degrees, but aren't because they can't find anything other than McDonalds or Wal-Mart. That is the reality of this McEconomy.
When I have a problem with my computer and need tech support, I have never been on the phone with anyone in the U.S. How do I know? I always make it a point to ask to whom I'm speaking and where.
