'Hidden unemployment': 7.3 million involuntary part time workers

CNN in a rare moment of clarity:

CNN Money features an article that discusses the part time employment situation in America.

Specifically, those who want a full time job but can't find one. These workers are referred to as "involuntary" part time workers and there are more of them at this point in the recovery from the recession than after any other downturn.

Overall U.S. unemployment has fallen steeply in the past year (from 7.2% in October 2013 to 5.8% in October 2014), but too many people can only find part-time positions.

The number of people working part-time involuntarily is more than 50% higher than when the recession began.

Troll tag team in 5, 4, 3...,


:eek:

wasn't it just two days ago that you were getting your panties in a bunch about people cutting-and-pasting articles? Funny how you don't ask for your fainting couch when Miles does this.

That....that....THAT'S DIFFERENT!

I thought that is what the employers wanted ,cheap labor costs .
Don't tell me miles is becoming a union man .

5 4 3 2 it took exactly 1 minute.

Miles does need to snap that down into about half.

The part where CNN of all places notices that 30 hours just happens to be the Obamacare cut off is money.
 
Of course employers want cheap illegal workers, and amnesty wont help employers or the illegals, cuz the employers will recruit more cheap illegals.

What Obama did was make rock soup by watering down the labor pool with 5 million more low-skill, no-skill people PLUS the 5 million new illegals who will replace them when the others are eligible for workers comp and unemployment and other bennies which they cant collect until the GOP okays the green cards and social security cards etc.
 
I am really glad my education and workplace skill set does not put me at a place where I am being out competed by unskilled undocumented laborers. That would be sort of embarrassing
 
I'm on GerbilBoyDownSouth's buddy list. He's obsessed with posting right after me.

Yep, you're the one who routinely gets up at 4 a.m. just to take a shot at me, but that means *I* am the one obsessed with *you*. :rolleyes:
 
You just can't control yourself, can you?

Fucking idiot falls for it every time.
 
I'm under employed techincally. Shit happens. Also I make more than I did employed.
 
Nobody seems to be stepping forward to refudiate the point of the article that the Obamacare Economy has even more victims than the obvious ones.

But hey. Lets raise that minimum wage so they will be asked to do even more for even less hours.

It's a team sport; a shortcut to thinking.

The numbers are a lie. They have to be a lie. I'm on the good team and this is a fan of the bad team calling me out, so I had better respond with hate and loud catcalls. When in Oakland, chuck batteries too...

Pride goeth before a fall.

He trolls me relentlessly too, I just don't bother to respond much anymore.

I did manage to suck him into shitting on puppies and kittens yesterday to prove that the topic never matters, just his target, the other team.

To say he's an easy mark would be an understatement. He's not exactly the shiniest spoon in the drawer. Making an ass of himself is a hobby.

He tarnishes his brand in a little different way than il Duce, but just as effectively I think.

The team players love the both of them to death...

It never ceases to amaze me how some people talk to him like he's a normal person when he's in fact....well, you know.
