I think we can stop when salaries start rising with the cost of living. So never!

Salaries are WAY down. That's a problem when the cost of living and inflation continue to rise.

I think the job market is in slightly better shape then it was a few years ago just from personal experience. But it will be a long time before we stop using that phrase.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — The United States created the fewest number of jobs in March in 10 months, adding to a string of reports suggesting companies have cut back on new hires and that the economy is slowing again.


The economy added a seasonally adjusted 88,000 jobs last month — the smallest increase since last June — and nearly half-a-million people stopped looking for work last month, according to data issued by the Labor Department Friday.
off a bit in March
The unemployment rate fell a tick to 7.6% from 7.7%, marking the lowest level since December 2007, but the decline stemmed from more Americans dropping out of the labor force.


The participation rate, a measure of how many healthy people of working age who have a job, fell again to 63.3%. That’s the lowest level since the spring 1979.


The March jobs report fell well below Wall Street expectations. Economists polled by MarketWatch had forecast a 190,000 increase in jobs. U.S. stocks futures SPM3 -1.22% slumped after the report.

Some will always say that to use a crunch.

There are many jobs available out there for white and blue collar workers. I can't stand the begger homeless folk either. How hard is it to get a full time job at a fast food joint (lots of free food) and get a small efficiency apartment...Maybe even a part time job at a target or something so you can get some cheap discounted clothes

You think a homeless person can get a job at target?

I know people with college degrees who are forced to settle for that type of job.


I do agree with you on the fast food thing though. Anyone can get those position's but why would they if Obama is going to take better care of them to not work at all.

I'm not defending Obama at all but people were milking the system and getting free stuff long before he took office. The system needs to be changed.

That is another issue and I don't have to say where he should be sent too or back too....I was using target as a simple example.....But start with fast food and that will get you on your feet at least, there are K-marts, Walmart, Kroger and other places like that...They prob. would not even know the guy was homeless.

From a medical perspective, we wish Bush were still running things.

Why are the health care stocks souring right now?

I am in wait and see mode for this health care plan.
I use to be adamantly against it, but have choose to take the wait and see approach.

1. Fraud
2. Most are Pharmaceutical companies (see #1)
3. Companies like Stryker and true giants will always be winners no matter what because they have a monopoly on the market.

I was mostly referring to non-publically traded companies that took a beating when allowables lowered and some equipment went from purchases to rentals.
