WAIT … WHAT?
|| By FITSNEWS || Want another snapshot of America’s “dependency economy?” You know … the one in which government continues to perpetually subsidize joblessness? With predictable results?
Of course you don’t … you’d rather read that “everything is awesome.”
Unfortunately, it’s not.

What’s that?
It’s a chart showing the number of job openings in America at the moment (according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics). In July the total stood at 5.75 million – the highest number in nearly a decade-and-a-half. That’s a lot of job openings … especially when you consider 94 million working age Americans are not participating in the labor force.
What gives?
It’s easy: When government enables huge swaths of its population to subsist in perpetuity on the backs of others (well, and on the back of soaring government debt) … they do just that.
Not. Rocket. Science.

Maybe they don’t have the specific skills or training required. Wages should start rising.
This is a big problem in manufacturing right now.
The whole “wages are sticky” thing is a problem…the question is whether the boom will last long enough to overcome the whole sticky wages thing or not.
Dean Baker opines that if there are unfilled openings, maybe they are not offering enough pay. http://www.cepr.net/blogs/beat-the-press/hold-the-celebration-on-job-openings

This will increase the clamor by businesses to increase the number of H-1B visas for foreign workers.
Already have them filed and ready to ship that cheap foreign labor over!
Wait. Aren’t the immigrants taking all of the jobs? There are none left for us real Americans!
Hello?
Anybody there?
*chirp*chirp*chirp
Sorry, just got back from work. Making $75,000 a year in the new job with awesome benefits. What now?
Quiet!!!
These dumb fucks actually believe the stream of lies I constantly spew. Just appeal to their bigotry and they’ll eat up anything. What loser!
Whaaaa? Can’t be, Obamacare was supposed to kill all the jobs. Tango – look at all those openings. You can get a job now. Yippieee!!!! Ha, ha, I win yet again!!!!
You dumb@$$ Democrats and your God Obama are hell bent on destroying what’s left of unemployment in America. My savior, The Trump, will make sure Mexico and China get more of our jobs back.
the Obama Way Rocky Verdad • an hour ago
To destroy capitalism and “American exceptionalism” you overwhelm the system with spending, entitlements, regulations and debt. The economy comes to halt, full-time jobs are killed, businesses fail in record numbers, the middle class is financially murdered, the debt implodes and the economy is overwhelmed.
Capitalism dies as a majority of Americans wind up hooked on welfare, food stamps, free healthcare and government checks like a drug addict is hooked on heroin, crack cocaine, or crystal meth. Obama is America’s drug dealer. But his drug of choice is government dependency.
Explains it.
How’s that government assistance from Obsma working for you?
That explains why there were only 65 people at the Stop Iran Rally – they got job offers last week.
Only a right wing propagandist or Fox News could come up with a way to see this information as negative. What the right hates about this chart is from the day Obama took office the number of available jobs has been going up. Not only has the economy replaced all of the jobs lost under Bush, but the number of available jobs is now higher than at any time under the Bush Administration. The GOP can no longer claim the recovery is not real; so they have to find something negative to say about having a lot of available jobs.
After all how can you claim you need tax cuts for job creators if we already have a lot of jobs?
Lyndon Johnson established the grand society. Our nation paid women to have kids out of wedlock and paid men not to work. Look what happened. People adopted that lifestyle. Today we have 93,000,000 adults that do not work. They are not starving to death either.
That is the system our nation has created. We can’t afford to pay 93,000,000 people not to work.
Get a job. Get off your lazy ass. Stop asking me for support.
Vote for Trump.70% of illegals get welfare.He will deport them.
I agree with Jack. Get off your fat white ass.
And play on FItsNews all day like you?
I can type, read and participate in conference calls all at the same time. And sometimes, when I’m feeling really randy, I’ll chew gum too.
There is a boom going on right now….due to sustained low interest rates.
Austrian Business Cycle theory suggests there will be a bust when there’s monetary base contraction…which came close to happening last month…but then didn’t. It’s slowly going up again- but no one knows if it’s enough to support the capital structure the previous larger money base growth created.
The Fed really is trapped, they now have to keep the money expansion going to prevent a bust and try to stop interest rates from rising so the debt is manageable.
They want to do a .25% increase(which is close to meaningless statistically, but psychologically could be devastating) now that unemployment ticked lower but they have Krugman and other Keynesians screaming bloody murder over it…
This is all not going to end well. There will come a time, and I don’t know when, but it will come, when there will be a reckoning for this incredible debt and distortion created by the manipulation of interest rates via supply/demand/monetary policy.
One other note, price increases are going to hit, and hit hard once the vaunted “velocity of money” picks up.
That loser Cruz cost me big time today. Spent a lot of fuel and time to jet down to DC – his rally was a total failure. Maybe 100 people. A total light weight. Never again. #MakeAmericaRacistAgain
White can’t teatard patriot morons ever seem to be able to gather in these massive numbers they always promise?
Oh yeah, because they only exist on the Internet and won’t talk that dumb shit in public.

just a sane article about who is out of the work force
Can you guys help me to make sure I have my list right. Since the worst President in history took office,
1. Unemployment down
2. Number of Jobs Way up
3. Stock Market way up
4. Housing prices up
5. Gas prices down
6. Annual deficit as a percentage of GDP down
7. Number of Uninsured Americans Down
8. Misery index down
9. Inflation down
10 Mortgage Rates Down
11. Rate of increase in the cost of healthcare down
12. Number of undocumented immigrants down
13. Number of operating oil wells up
14. Number of Employed Americans way up
15. Corporate Profits at record levels
16. Osama Bin Laden Dead
17. Dollar Up against Foreign Currencies
I am sure there are more things I am missing.
Auto industry, manufuacturing jobs, and what was that other thing, right, Iran Nuclear Program down.
Illegal Alien Invasion is up to 40 million. But a liberal wants it to stay stuck on a number from 17 years ago.
Undocumented immigrants up 2 million under Bush, down 200,000 under Obama. With immigrants down and jobs up, GT why are you still on Medicaid.
GT, get a fucking job already. They are obviously available. You already helped kill any chance the GOP has in 2016, get off of Obama’s teat already, moocher.
You’re so full of shit its coming out of your fucking ears. Who is in charge of the number, dumb fuck??? LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! … And Obama is still one fucked up sack of stinky dog &^@#!!)*&*!@!!! … FUCK YOU …. LMAO!!!!!!!!
Unable to counter any of the facts you resort to the standard for teatards, the numbers are wrong. I accept your surrender.
^^^^^^ poster child for angry white man, bet he has confederate flags for bed sheets.
Poor GrandTango. He can’t use his regular handle anymore. Why come, little dummy?
44 ( Forty Four ) Million Aliens in the USA are on Welfare.
yep and they are all from the planet Zoroch, we need to put a net around our planet and install a big beautiful door for the good ones.
We must allow all these illegals in here to feed the unemployed that are on welfare.
