the job market hath the wind at its back!

**MeadHallPirate** · 01-27-2013

ahoy all,

amidst the constant doom and gloom 'o USPO, yet another bright spot as our unemployment woes continue to abate, gradually.

from the deep South, ye have the success story 'o Alabama;

Alabama's unemployment rate dropped to 7.5% for November, down from October's rate of 8.1% and below the November 2011 rate of 8.3%. Alabama's rate is also below the national average of 7.7%

nationally, our country's employers are findin' ways to cope and to provide this nation with jobs, even durin' these difficult times - an encouragin' sign. also ye can see evidence that even poorer Americans be willin' and eager to pull themselves up by thar own bootstraps.

Politicians across the political spectrum herald “job creation...According to the Census Bureau, one-third of adults who live in poverty are working.

Over the last three years, the temp industry added more jobs in the United States than any other, according to the American Staffing Association, the trade group representing temp recruitment agencies, outsourcing specialists and the like.

the Times article goes on to describe the accolades from the business press, whar companies are goin' "lean and mean".

from me own decks, which be a busy perch, it seems that both the 1% and the rest 'o the nation be thrivin'.

Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS) boosted Chief Executive Officer Lloyd C. Blankfein’s stock bonus 90 percent to $13.3 million, topping JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM)’s Jamie Dimon for the first time in five years, as profit climbed.

Goldman Sachs’s revenue grew 19 percent in 2012, the first gain in three years, as the firm’s investments almost tripled in value and investment banking fees climbed.

President Gary D. Cohn, 52, was awarded 85,136 restricted shares, worth $12 million at yesterday’s closing price. Cohn, who receives a $1.85 million salary, got $3 million in cash and $7 million of restricted stock last year.

Chief Financial Officer David A. Viniar, 57, who is retiring this month after 32 years at the firm and joining the board of directors, also was granted restricted shares worth $12 million. Viniar, who gets a $1.85 million salary, received the same bonus as Blankfein and Cohn last year.

Goldman Raises CEO

what imma seein' be wonderful wealth creation fer our job creators (which be a good sign) that has resulted in a steady output 'o job creation. the profits that be rollin' into our nation be like a wave 'o monies thats tidal in scope.

Just four years after the worst shock to the economy since the Great Depression, U.S. corporate profits are stronger than ever.
In the third quarter, corporate earnings were $1.75 trillion, up 18.6% from a year ago, according to last week'si gross domestic product report. That took after-tax profits to their greatest percentage of GDP in history.

ahoy all,

more signs that thar be a new day dawnin' here in our land 'o milk and honey. with the wealth thats helpin' various industries surge forward, it feels like the go-go Reagan 80's once more.

rawr!

The wheeled monolith above is the 2013 Rolls-Royce Phantom Extended Wheelbase – a rolling demonstration of the real definition of "More." For that reason we can use it as a symbol of the firm's sales, which have not only achieved 'more' for the past three years but have also broken company records.

The US retook its crown as the greatest consumers of Rolls-Royces, snagging it back from China.

For 2012, the brand that sells more cars above $200,000 than any other proved the saying that storms can't affect you when you live above the clouds.

Rolls-Royce rings up best-ever sales year

as predicted, this massive avalanche 'o wealth be tricklin' down all o'er the place, as the jobs market hath responded. the food industry, in particular, hath seen a real surge, as MSNBC documents that "lots of people hold these jobs". in addition;

...the BLS projects will increase by 10 percent in the next decade...

And there's the rub "shilling for Obama" would be "Heralding the Great Recovery" if enough the American people had voted for Romney.
Of course, if they had voted for Romney, Tsquare would be blaming the economic downturn that would be happening now on Obama.

No, but you have been talking up the economy for months... including:

America lifts anchor and starts to compete!

will business now invest mightily and boost job creation?

be optimism the cure?

While ignoring threads like this:

A snapshot of how the Obama administration is doing

Workforce participation... Food Stamp use...number of Americans in poverty... real income falling...

**OldmanDan** · 01-27-2013

When the unemployment checks run out, people tend to find jobs. Amazing that.

And you've been predicting disaster for 4 years.....and ignoring reality.

If they had voted for Romney we would be seeing the beginnings of recovery... optimism and confidence would be returning.

Of course goober, you've been predicting 'recovery summer' for how many years now? 2009, 2010, 2011,2012...

ahoy Tsquare,

i actually haven't been postin' much, and this be me first thread in a few weeks. i also think that a review 'o the threads you have started would reveal somethin' unpleasant and rather partisan in yer worldview.

*ponders*

of the three posts ye cited, two 'o them were actually kind 'o open questions. one 'o them actually had to do more with Mr. Romney...but then again, ye don't read yer own links, which is why ye often seem like ye have absolutely no idear what yer talkin' about.

i was curious, me bucko, aside from musin' 'bout me "motivations" fer writin' on USPO, do you actually have anythin' to say about the thread itself?

Yeah... so?

MHP, when I first started posting here, I TOLD EVERYONE 'I am a Republican!'

I was a dues paying Republican then.
I still am a dues paying Republican now.

I am partisan, and have said so from the beginning. You seem to think, somehow, that this is a bad thing. You try (over and over) to somehow 'shame' me over this. I don't really know why... at least I'm honest about it.

The thread itself?

It is a regurgitation of liberal talking points published by them (and repeated by you) both in an effort to 'talk up' the economy.

'See... things are getting better!' 'It's turning around... never mind that you are on food stamps and haven't worked in 3 1/2 years... really, the economy is moving... the plan is working! Honest this time!

hehe. yarrrr! i have a clearer memory 'o what ye said in them long forgotten days than even you do, matey. ye said on one thread that ye were pretty much a troll. i have to find it, fer i remember how wierd it was that ye would just own up to it.

I was a dues paying Republican then.
I still am a dues paying Republican now.

oh so what...who cares? big deal. "dues paying".

I am partisan, and have said so from the beginning. You seem to think, somehow, that this is a bad thing. You try (over and over) to somehow 'shame' me over this. I don't really know why... at least I'm honest about it.

Nope... sorry. In 2009 I had just hocked everything down to my socks to buy the last ex out of my house.

I had no funds available for the market until late 2010.

Enjoy the show...

**PeterUK75** · 01-27-2013

I thought America was supposed to be the "Can do" nation with boundless optimism but you lot moan about as much as I do at work.

All he did was suggest unemployment is coming down and you guys make Marvin the Paranoid Android seem upbeat and cheerful.
