Honestly I think the "full time" 40 hour a week job is becoming obsolete.

And the UE rate went down because less people are working.
They are all "retiring".

Hours worked down.

Household income down.

Employment Participation among white males at record lows.

Employment participation among 25 to 54 year olds at lows since 1984.

Food Stamps up to all time highs.

Poverty at highest rate in over 50 years.

All these numbers are worse since Obama declared that the recovery had started....what a joke.

Whose idea was the sequester?

Whose lack of leadership couldn't avoid an impasse with the sequester?
