The buffoon leading the country has single handedly driven inflation to record levels, destroyed energy independence, emboldened all our enemy, dissappointed all our allies knowing they cannot depend on the US anymore. He has sold us ut to China,Russia and the middle east and his incredible mismanagement should lead to impeachment if not treason trial.

People are just lazy and dont want to work. Just get the shot and wear your mask. As far as slave wages I get paid 12 dollars an hour just to do dishes and most are more than that 10 being as low as I have seen - I am sorry but those people are just greedy as far as I am concerned. 12 is quite a lot for my job...

What's behind the work stoppage? Last Friday’s jobs report from the US Labor Department elicited a barrage of gloomy headlines. The New York Times emphasized “weak” jobs growth and fretted that “hiring challenges that have bedeviled employers all year won’t be quickly resolved,” and “rising wages could add to concerns about inflation.” For CNN, it was “another disappointment.” For Bloomberg the “September jobs report misses big for a second straight month.” The media failed to report the big story, which is actually a very good one: American workers are now flexing their muscles for the first time in decades. You might say workers have declared a national general strike until they get better pay and improved working conditions. No one calls it a general strike. But in its own disorganized way it’s related to the organized strikes breaking out across the land – Hollywood TV and film crews, John Deere workers, Alabama coal miners, Nabisco workers, Kellogg workers, nurses in California, healthcare workers in Buffalo. Disorganized or organized, American workers now have bargaining leverage to do better. After a year and a half of the pandemic, consumers have pent-up demand for all sorts of goods and services. But employers are finding it hard to fill positions. Last Friday’s jobs report showed the number of job openings at a record high. The share of people working or actively looking for work (the labor force participation rate) has dropped to 61.6 percent. Participation for people in their prime working years, defined as 25 to 54 years old, is also down. Over the past year, job openings have increased 62 percent. Yet overall hiring has actually declined. Americans are also quitting their jobs at the highest rate on record. The Labor Department reported on Tuesday that some 4.3 million people had quit their jobs in August. That comes to about 2.9 percent of the workforce -- up from the previous record set in April, of about 4 million people quitting. All told, about 4 million American workers have been leaving their jobs every month since last spring. What’s going on? We can rule out several possibilities. The great work stoppage has nothing to do with the Republican bogeyman of extra unemployment benefits supposedly discouraging people from working. Reminder: The extra benefits ran out on Labor Day. Renewed fears of the Delta variant of COVID may play some role. But it can’t be the major factor. With most adults now vaccinated, rates of hospitalizations and deaths are way down. Childcare is a problem for many workers, to be sure. But lack of affordable childcare has been a problem for decades. It can’t be the reason for the work stoppage. My take: The reluctance of workers to return to or remain in or return to their old jobs is mostly to do with them being fed up. Some have retired early. Others have found ways to make ends meet other than remain in jobs they abhor. Many just don’t want to return to backbreaking or boring low-wage shit jobs. The media and most economists measure the economy’s success by the number of jobs it creates, while ignoring the quality of those jobs. That’s a huge oversight. Years ago, when I was Secretary of Labor, I kept meeting working people all over the country who had full-time work but complained that their jobs paid too little and had few benefits, or were unsafe, or required lengthy or unpredictable hours. Many said their employers treated them badly, harassed them, and did not respect them. Since then, these complaints have only grown louder, according to polls. For many, the pandemic was the last straw. Workers are burned out, fed up, fried. In the wake of so much hardship, illness and death during the past year, they’re not going to take it anymore. To lure workers back, employers are raising wages and offering other inducements. Average earnings rose 19 cents an hour in September and are up more than $1 an hour – or 4.6 percent -- over the last year. Clearly, that’s not enough. Corporate America wants to frame this as a “labor shortage.” Wrong. What’s really going on is more accurately described as a living-wage shortage, a hazard pay shortage, a childcare shortage, a paid sick leave shortage, and a health care shortage. Unless *these* shortages are rectified, many Americans won’t return to work anytime soon. I say it’s about time. RR

TheDarkSide quoted Robert Reich. Reich had some mildly interesting things to say about the job market even if he didn't address the flip side: How long can people hold out for good-paying jobs? Does that even make sense? Since I was a kid, many of my friends and I were programmed for higher education as the necessary if not sufficient component to a career with decent, if not great, pay. A few became professionals. There were branches of the extended family that went into various Civil Service jobs and progressed. Others managed to get into the trades due to the training and experiences they received in the military. A few became successful small business owners. As ever, the question remains can unskilled laborers, unwilling or unable to acquire additional education and training, ever get decent wages? Reich does not attempt to answer that. He does not address education or training at all; as if they did not matter. While there will be exceptions, the answer for the many will forever be "No! Are you kidding!?" Some commenter on some other platform made an observation possibly more insightful than Reich - Businesses may be determined to continue functioning using skeleton staffs developed during the COVID lockdown forcing people to work twice as hard for no additional pay.

Not too good eh.. 9 months and a country in ruin and people not supporting the communist agenda.

I wish it were better, but that is pretty good considering we are still in the midst of a Pandemic and half of Congress refuses to let the OTHER half DO anything about it! We were headed towards a hard recession, and the more liberal members rescued the country while the conservative members sat on their hands!

Journalist are twisting employment numbers into a pretzel. Every Sept the employment numbers go down, summer employment has ended. 700,000 people have died, many of them workers and Americans have had it with low paying punishing jobs...many have chosen different jobs, looking for different jobs or are home watching children due to lack of affordable childcare. Let's catch up with "lesser" countries and provide affordable childcare, affordable prescription meds, affordable medical care, affordable housing, etc. Add full covid vaccinations and the employment situation will improve.

We keep shooting ourselves in the foot by adding restrictions and mandates that hurt job creation. I look at our local Amish community that pretty much ignored COVID, paid a price in sickness, but now likely have better immunity than the rest of us and never shut down their businesses, so economically were hurt less than most

If the gop would get the hell out of the way, things would be booming.

There is still a pandemic raging. People cant go back to work with no one to take care of the children.

The longer folks refuse to return to work the easier it will become for employers to forget them altogether. This idea that after loafing on the sidelines (in some cases) for 18 months now entitles them to assert wage and hour demands is dumb. And I'm being kind. Long term unemployed makes up 34.5% of the total unemployed? Kids are back in school, summer is over, the world is coming back to life so why this 34.5%? That's a rhetorical question. The only thing dumber than some of the long term unemployed thinking that they have a lever to hold out for something grander are those that comment that we need more job creation. Hello! There are more jobs available than there are unemployed people. Manage your expectations though and appreciate the opportunity to work. It may lead to something better. But one thing is certain, your mommy lied to you when she told you that you could do and be anything you wanted. And the longer you wait the less likely it is that we will return to February 2020 numbers and/or that you have a job to go back to.

You really didn’t think they were going to be jobs did you, it doesn’t take a genius to figure out it wasn’t going to happen. Take a look at what’s happening to our country. If you can’t see that I don’t know why. Joe Biden gets up and talks a sweet game. Unfortunately none of it is true. Our taxes are going to be raised very high we the people American citizens are going to pay with 40% of our taxes going for what he wants. No wealthy people are going to be paying anything. When millionaires and billionaires donate to their favorite party they get to write it off. They have a countenance. They know exactly what to do and how to get around it. And big business corporations are going to pay for it please don’t be so stupid they have attorneys also that will work around it. Think about this everything will go right down to the consumer and everything you were going to buy is going to go up, just like what’s happening now California gas is four dollars a gallon. Everywhere else it’s over three. What about your groceries. Why are they already going up. Everything is going to go up you’re going to pay so you don’t have any money to pay. They’re not working for the American people. Otherwise why would they let all these people come across our southern border that we have to now support with what, more government welfare. And where do they get that money? They get it from the taxpayer.

Joan, you are on a roll! 😊❤️😊❤️

With help wanted signs everywhere, it's hard to imagine why there is a need to "create" new jobs. Right now, the priority should be filling the jobs that exist. One way to do that, of course, is to allow immigrants to fill some of them We need them!

It will continue to improve. Increased Vaccinations will help for people to feel safer returning to work or going out to eat ,movie ect... Mandating of them is successful.

guess cutting unemployment benefits in an attempt to force people to choose between slave wage exploitive jobs, or starvation didn't, and won't work. All it accomplished was hurting people. Here, in a nut shell is the difference between the left, and the right. the right doesn't think government should ever be used to help people. the left doesn't think government should ever be used to hurt people. We need living wages, housing and healthcare for all, sustainable energy and an end to the fossil fuel industry. End the war profiteering, cancel student debt. and make collage free. End the drug war, and reform our justice system.

I knew that when the pandemic hit that it would be a long slog back to pre-pandemic. As long as folks refuse to acknowledge the seriousness and spread of the illness, we will be taking one step forward and two steps back. Women need childcare to go back to work. Most Congressmen aren't getting it.

While price of gas, food etc. are rising. You want to raise taxes on cooperations and the supposed 1%. Which they will raise prices on all they’re goods, pass off the cost of added taxes on the middle and lower classes.
