You've eliminated employees because you don't have any work for them to
do. Period.



It's not 100 percent Obama. His policies are simply starting to dot the
"i"s and cross the "t"s in a change that has been taking place and
accelerating for the past 15-20 years.

Small business used to find anything for employees to do during slow
periods in order to avoid layoffs.
I can remember painting walls, washing trucks, etc. and did the same when
I operated a company on my own. Large businesses typically had layoffs,
not the small ones.

Just 98.7 percent? Come on. This trend as you said has been going on a long
time. It's nothing new. Times are tough. The recession is over, but job
growth lags. That's typical of all recessions. But, the trend is positive,
and most economists are now not predicting a double dip recession.

While I agree it is typical for employment to lag a GDP based recovery,
it never has had this long and the spread. Certainly not in 1982 it didn't.

Much of it is inflation. Just hasn't fully hit retail yet. And without
the jobs, and I mean real jobs not just minimum wage part time stuff,
the recovery will stall and inflation will take like the 70's all over
again.

I see the USD dropped again today.
