Nothing, if there are some companies doing well and CEOs making big money that might be an indication some companies are stronger and will be hiring down the line.

FROM THE MARKET (in the private sector you compete for what you are worth)
In the BACKWARDS WORLD of the government you have unions screwing the people out of many billions we don't have. Then they retire at sometimes near full pay.
To get 50k or more with 1% interest in the bank how much money would you need to have there? Five million dollars.
These people are retiring like they are living off the interest of 5 million dollars in the bank on taxpayer dollars.
Add to the the insurance paid for them that the people in the real world don't get and they are actually living like people with 8 million in the bank.

Now multiply that by the millions of government employees around the nation and you see why we are broke and why Democrats want to tax the underpants off of the rest of us.

Yep, and as usual, nearly all of the jobs created this month were in minimum wage positions. Fast food is apparently going through a hiring boom. And people wonder why this country is going down the drain.

I think it's more like, 0bama told Americans who to despise, and who to sympathize with. So the OP put 2 and 2 together and got his result; hate CEOs and love government employees.

Those are temp summer jobs. Schools let out soon. By Aug/Sep those fast food jobs will be gone.
