Its editors seem to live on a planet of their own.

They certainly do! The Employment Office up in Greeley seats only about 12
customers so if a few showed up for something other than filing for
unemployment the line would certainly go out the door. That's why no numbers
are mentioned or why people were there. One even admitted he was there for
unemployment and applied for a job at Swift (perhaps as required to keep the
unemployment checks coming in?) Here's a link to the job postings at the
Greeley office:

There are plenty of unfilled jobs similar to those at Swift. Look at the
photo in the picture - see a big office? Looks like ten feet between the
service counter and the glass windows. The city population is only 88,000.
The Rocky Mountain News has a notorious conservative slant so there's your
bias.

That article was devoid of any numbers, the number of people applying, the
number of jobs open all it said is the line went out the door. I suppose if
someone drove up to the office quickly and a toilet clogged the article
would report people rushing for job applications and the office was flooded.
