Within professional and business services, employment in temporary help services was up by 17,000. This industry has added 392,000 jobs since a recent employment low in September 2009.

Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA)
You have to love how liberals twist the language.
If it was truly the Employee Free Choice Act then there would be no such thing as a "Closed-Shop" and I would be free to work without the threat of or interference by a union.
Oh, and even though the census is over all jobs associated with the census have not yet been eliminated.
About 635,000 Census workers would have been reflected at one point or another in the BLS numbers. How many do you think are still showing up? Do you think next month's press release will or will not include a blurb about how information concerning changes in the number of Census workers will no longer be reported?
And yet he's still been able to create tens of thousands of jobs.
You probably have a point, it is not about jobs created, it is about partisanship. Evil but undeniably successful job creators are anti-union, wonder why?
I'd not heard the term Israeli apologist before. Would that be the opposite of Hezbollah apologist? So Hezbollah doesn't create jobs either. Good to know.
This is a common story line among right wing lemmings. They use it to scare workers.
Since a "business leader" "creates jobs"....that means what he says about politics, and regulation, and workers issue matters more than you!
You're just a stupid worker!
Listen to the man who creates thousand of understaffed, overworked, $9 per hour/no benefit jobs....you peon!
Not on a net basis. Right-wingers have such difficulty in seeing the bigger picture. Home Depot has behaved like WalMart. Move in, undersell competitors out of business, then cut wages and the workforce while raising prices and profits.
And they "spread the wealth"... HD retired more millionaires than many many other companies. Not just the CEO's but all the way down the line. Isn't providing a similar product at a competitive price the whole point of going into business? And of course to provide a living for yourself and your employees.
How could the clueless, incompetent boob THINK that all his anti-business rhetoric, all his demonizing of CEO's and economic sectors would NOT make a horrible impression in the very people he needs to get this economy moving.
We've LOST 2.4 million jobs since obama has been in office. Try and spin that.
Try to deal with facts in some context from time to time. The Glenn Beck imitation is so old and tired. 2009 was taken up reversing the massive nosedive into oblivion that Bush and the dingbat Republicans had put us into.

Home Depot’s benefits package for both full-time and part-time employees accounts for about 25% to 35% of total compensation, also a rarity for retail. Just 18% of part-timers receive health-care and retirement benefits compared with 58% for full-timers, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics’ National Compensation Survey conducted in March 2003. The company picks up 70% of medical, dental, and vision coverage and offers a 401(k) plan, sales bonuses, nearly a dozen paid vacation and sick days, life insurance, an employee assistance program, training, and career development opportunities, plus tuition reimbursement for MBA programs. Some two-thirds of eligible workers enroll in each of these benefits.
If you don't like it don't shop there. I shop at the local hardware stores over the box stores most of the time. Consumers made buying choices based on their pocketbooks and that is why these big box stores survive. If they chose to support their local Mom & Pop shops, despite having to pay more, these box stores would not exist.
I'll wait for you to provide the link to the "net" numbers on Home Depot USA vs. those companies they pushed out of business, and employment numbers, specifically.
You'll have a long wait. I might do research for clients, but you're not paying me and likely couldn't afford to. The facts are out there, and the first one of them is that your original comment was based on gross numbers SOLELY, as if no offsetting losses had ever occurred anywhere. Believe it or not, demand for materials related to home repairs and improvements had existed long before Home Depot ever came along. It has always been that demand that has created the jobs. Home Depot merely bullied itself into local markets, not creating jobs so much as stealing jobs that had already long been in existence and then bullying the folks that had them as well.

He's more important than you!
Really? Did they say all that?
I think the suggestion is that others should also be able to create companies and jobs if they use the correct business model.
But hey, if you were able to read all that into what the average employer thinks, maybe you should be an Obama economic advisor.
