Until people realize how pervasive the incestuous relationship is, it will continue and the robbery of the people by the banks will also.

The problem is we've plenty of self-defeaters among the people. They believe... government regulations = socialization, while the crooks and their cronies in the government laugh belly up at their expense, and at the rest of the populace.

The BLS does have a category for "Temporary Help Services" which naturally encompasses temporary jobs.

So temporary jobs are included one way or another.

Thank you for your post.

As for temp jobs being counted by the gov't, I'm not sure how fair it is to do so - Most temps don't get health coverage and other stuff. I guess a paycheck's a paycheck. Especially these days.
