I'll be more impressed when the jobless are being re-employed.


Good. Then August's payroll data report should have really impressed
you...a net gain of 57,000 newly hired.


Mostly temp jobs with no benefits.


Not just temp jobs, but independent contractors, and the self-employed.

Temp jobs don't have benefits. However, independent contractors and the
self-employed have wonderful "benefits"...via tax breaks for capital
expenditures, health insurance, and various other things. Did you know you
could buy a Hummer right now (if you're in the right business) and expense
the entire amount so that it's a tax deduction? Shoot, you could probably
do the same with a boat if you could show it was for entertaining clients.
