Employment Picture Gets Grimmer!

Job picture: Signs of improvement

Don't you love it when the Minister of Doublespeak makes an announcement about the economy.

Here they are announcing that the job picture is improving. What are they basing this on? The number of new job terminations is dropping. That is like saying when a criminal is robbing a bank, and drops a bag of money on the way out, that we are getting a kinder and gentler criminal who doesn't want to completely empty the bank. The bank is still getting robbed. The criminal is still asking for everything. However, he did miss something. Is this really an improvement over a criminal who doesn't drop a bag on the way out the door?

Nothing is improving. They are just lying to you. Once again.

How can the employment picture be getting better. Everyone who has previously lost a job is still unemployed. More people are losing their jobs. People with extended unemployment benefits are running out of benefits.

After suffering a massive depression for so long, it could be that most of the businesses that were having economic troubles have gone out of business, and there are no more businesses to close. Thus no more staff to fire. This is an improvement?

Thank goodness we still have a federal government left who can explain to us how rising unemployment and rising homelessness and increasing business failures are a sign of the improving economy!
