Unfortunately our labor participation numbers are dismal. Like 1977 numbers.
The population has boomed over the 40 years since 1977, yet we have the same # of people in the work force.
Even sadder is that people who have "jobs" like being paid a few hundred a month to watch their grand kids during the work week, for example, are considered "employed" and are part of that total which is so very low.
everyone is blaming obama for the shootings. poor leadership, lack of leadership and weak leadership gets people rattled and when people are rattled, they act out.
i gotta tell you that i almost feel that the country is running itself, we have no leader or 'voice' and nobody is doing anything about any of this, hillary is going to be the same,a leader hiding in the shadows figuring out how to funnel more money out of the pockets of the average citizen and into the pockets of the largest donors while ignoring the pleas of the common man who is worried about national security.
how can we have hillary in charge of national security when she's walking around like a bozo surfing the net on her phone and giving the bad guys access to national security information?
270,000 soon to be replaced by robots burger flipper jobs? Gee thanks.
Yes; the robots are close to taking over. But, in the meantime, temporary jobs with no security; have taken over. Then when you combine that with all of the open borders, green cards, H-1B's and H-2B's; all you have left are a few bread crumbs for legal Americans.
Even on pro-Obama/Hillary news, like MSN (Job market stirs to life in June, trouncing expectations) they state: "Wages advanced less than projected." In other words; big business gets their cheap labor and the American worker looses!

Funny - in 2012, Romney only campaigned to create more jobs than Obama and bring unemployment down to 6% by 2016. Not higher paying etc etc jobs, labor participation rate blah blah.
Ofcourse Obama wound up beating all of his promises in less time!
The worst job Obama created was the job done by A.I. or the robot that had to deliver the explosive device to kill the shooter in Dallas.
