Then why the fuck am I still fucking unfuckingemployed? God damn weak ass job market that is why.
Fuck!
I wonder...really...what kind of jobs these are. McDonalds can advertise for 3rd assistant fry cook at $5.50 per hour and that'd be called job creation.
200k+ is impressive...at least on the surface.
Additon of jobs at any level is good, but there are still major problem areas where the market is really really tough.
Hey Raven, look on the internet. Even Cincinnati.com has some jobs listed that arent in the paper everyday.

I have been out of work 5x since I left Cincom and in several instances took jobs that didn't pay what I was used to making and I hated taking. But hey you take what you have to sometimes. I am not suggesting this is you Raven, but I have no patience for someone who is used to making say $75,000/yr and loses his job and then whines because he can't find anything paying over $60,000. Boo fucking boo hoo (sorry Sluggo) One of Kerry's campaign commercials showed a man whining about being out of work for over a year. There's always a job to be had, even if you don't like it or it doesn't pay what you are used to making. "Any port in a storm" is good advice! I didn't like flipping burgers at Wendy's after graduating from college, but it was a job...

I left the article at home, but I'll have to post it. It's not good for Bush when you start finding multiple reasons in the Journal why not to vote for him.
To say nothing of the fact that we still need, what? - about 1.8 million more jobs for shrub to even break even.
Wow, hurray!! The massive number of unemployed must be just so f***ing happy now.
WASHINGTON ? U.S. employers added an unexpectedly large 248,000 jobs in May, extending a nine-month hiring spree, the Labor Department (search) said Friday in a report that confirmed a strengthening economy likely to soon bring higher interest rates.
The May tally exceeded Wall Street expectations for 216,000 new jobs. Employment figures for March and April were revised up to reflect the addition of 353,000 and 346,000 jobs respectively. Payrolls have swelled by almost 1 million in the last three months alone.
