TODAY'S POST FROM "Upper Left" BLOGGER ON NEW [?] JOBS
Lies, Damn Lies And Bushco Employment Statistics
In a long post with a lot of worthwhile discussion of the relative merits of Democratic and Republican communication styles, The Left Coaster's pessimist points out that "... the increase in jobs was not due to 300,000 citizens getting full time jobs, but because 300,000 citizens took part time jobs because they could not get full time jobs. The number of people who worked part time for economic reasons rose to 4.7 million in March, up from 4.4 million the previous month (According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics)." So, by the time you take out the statistical inflation they got from including the returning grocery strikers in California, and the seasonal bump in construction employment, it looks like the big March job numbers actually conceal a significant drop in full time, year round employment. You know, real jobs. That's why they call people like me Discouraged Workers, I guess...time to bring out the beggar's bowl again...
