OT--The Dow is up 30% from October '02...and the Nasdaq is up almost 70% from 1 year ago!
To all you doomsayers...
Put *that* in your pipe and smoke it! The stock market has always been a pretty good indicator of where our economy is headed. That's why it shed 10% of it's value from January 2000 through December 2000...the year leading up to the recession. |

Put *that* in your pipe and smoke it! Hey, OK! Our group dentist is prescribing stuff to put in a pipe and smoke. It's legal with a prescription, right? Restores appetite following a root canal? :-) |

It's sweet seeing those balances jump up. Heck, I even made 13% in
2002. Retirement account now up to $113? :-) OK, that was a low blow.....but discussing personal finances in a forum like this is fraught with peril and not in the best of taste, either. IMO. |

Up in Syracuse, Carrier Corp. just announced it was laying off 1,200

They'll pay no attention to the real reasons for the layoffs: "These decisions reflect, in part, market requirements. The global container market has become Asian-focused, with more than 80 percent of our container refrigeration products currently being shipped to Asia," Amyuni said. We must be located nearer to our markets." "Company spokesman Jonathan Shaw said Carrier's compressor business has fallen by 50 percent over the last three years, reflecting an industrywide decline as customers have switched to newer technology" "I've struggled at different jobs to stay in manufacturing but manufacturing is dying in this country. I'm getting out. I'm going to use this as an opportunity to start a new life," said Pate (10 year Carrier employee), who said he might pursue work in the medical field." |

Harry doesn't know how to stop the flow of manufacturing jobs out of this
country...and neither did our 42nd President. In fact, it was Bubba that signed NAFTA and started the efflux. But, it's convenient for Harry to blame Bush for the losses.

That's not what happened with the news of all the layoffs that started in
early 2000. The market dropped 10% that year. "Harry Krause" wrote in message ... NOYB wrote: To all you doomsayers... Put *that* in your pipe and smoke it!

I dunno either. But I do know that you can't blame the current
administration for it. "Mark Browne" wrote in message news:Iopgb.692397$YN5.558129@sccrnsc01... "NOYB" wrote in message m...

You didn't make **** unless you sold it. Your balance may have increased, but then it probably fell about 50% the year before. |

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. |

Good. Then August's payroll data report should have really impressed you...a net gain of 57,000 newly hired. Terrific, voodoo economics at it's best. The ignorant right saying, look, we've created 57,000 new jobs. It only cost the government x trillion dollars, x thousands of lives, and oh, lets just not say anything about the other 7/8 of the people that have lost jobs under Bush. |

Interesting reading Gene...but here are the facts (from your source):
* Professional and business services added 66,000 jobs * Architectural and engineering services increased by 9,000 * Health care and social assistance increased by 15,000 * Air transportation added 3,000 jobs * Motor vehicle and parts dealers increased by 8,000 * Building material and garden supply increased by 7,000 * Construction employment continued to trend upward, with 137,00 jobs added since February * Employment in financial activities continued to trend upwards, averaging an increase of 5,000 jobs per month over the last four months In fact, the only things to fall were manufacturing jobs by 29,000, and government jobs at the local education level (***after seasonal adjustment***) by 44,000. I should lend you my glasses with the rose-colored lenses to replace the ****-colored ones you're wearing. ;-) "Gene Kearns" wrote in message ...

No....NO....NOT good.... and *you* know or should know that it is not good, too.... it is so a small percentage of the total as to be negligible AND it is comprised largely of temporary help.
