Take the census out of the equation and re-calculate. Show me your link then.
A job created for a duration of one year at taxpayer expense and then that job disappears once the "stimulus" is gone is not a "job created". One may as well give two men a shovel and tell one to dig a hole while the other puts the removed dirt right back in it.
Greetings,
Dont forget about the guy who had to tell them to dig the hole and the other to fill it up
Already, more jobs have been created under Obama than during the entire 8 years of Bush.
Sure if you count all the jobs one can find by simply standing out in front of a Home Depot in the parking lot there's actually thousands of jobs you can find every day!
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.
but Big John thinks this is a big deal
The company picks up 70% of medical, dental, and vision coverage ( when they pay for it) 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.
That's really a great job BigJohn...the health/retirement benefits are so great that only half the works even have it. But they do get a 401K match that amounts to .18 cents per hour for their $9 per hour job.
You conveniently left out this part:
"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."
No, dude, temp workers are an important and permanent part of the workforce and they are included in the BLS numbers, but even their gain in 12 months barely comes to 10% of the private sector gain in 7 months.

So, you are one who would like to benefit from all the improved wages and working conditions that a union might negotiate with an employer, but you don't want to pay anything for any of that. Have I got that about right?

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.

Listen to the man who creates thousand of understaffed, overworked, $9 per hour/no benefit jobs....you peon!
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.
oh please, these "captains of industry" don't care about new job growth and living wages, just profits, and they will do any UnAmerican activity possible to get it. That's WHY we are in the mess we are in.
First you libs go after the wealthy..saying they make too much.
Then you cry that workers at HD make too little.
Just what in the heck do you want ??
Sounds like they want a higher compensated middle class in a time when the gap between rich and poor is the largest in our Nation's history.
What are you implying here?
That's it's not consistent to ask that the rich pay about 5% more on their tax bill and think that if you have a job you should have health care benefits that are affordable?
Home Depot clerk is a great job. I realize now that it be a step up for many like yourself...I stand corrected.
