do you like same sex or the opposite sex like normal people
Please explain - if unemployment is truly 5%, why millenniums can't find jobs, why this great demand for workers hasn't resulted in wages going up, why one is competing with 10s of others for the same job, why it took my husband (with decades of experience) 5 months to get a job?
US job cuts rise to 65,141 in April; 2016 layoffs at 7-year high: Challenger
http://www.cnbc.com/2016/05/05/us-jo...hallenger.html
The "participation rate" is historically low, due to the Banksters Great Depression, globalizatoin, the austerian Repugs refusing to stimulate the economy, the Repugs laying of 100Ks of state employees, teachers, etc, etc.
People are coming back into the labor force, but most are finding nothing but ty jobs, their college degrees being useless, and their enslaving college debt (thanks, Repugs!) lucrative for interest-charging capitalists, and predatory debt collectors.
Several Repugs are touting how well their states are doing, while LYING that Obama and ACA have destroyed the economy.
My name is Meredith McIver and I’m an in-house staff writer at the Trump Organization. I am also a longtime friend and admirer of the Trump family.
In working with Melania Trump on her recent First Lady [sic] speech, we discussed many people who inspired her and messages she wanted to share with the American people. A person she has always liked is Mic e Obama. Over the phone, she read me some passages from Mrs. Obama’s speech. I did not check Mrs. Obama’s speeches. This was my mistake, and I feel terrible for the chaos I have caused Melania and the Trumps, as well as to Mrs. Obama. No harm was meant.
Yesterday, I offered my resignation to Mr. Trump and the Trump family, but they rejected it. Mr. Trump told me that people make innocent mistakes and that we learn and grow from these experiences.
I asked to put out this statement because i did not like seeing the way this was distracting from Mr. Trump’s historic campaign for president and Melania’s beautiful message and presentation.
I apologize for the confusion and hysteria my mistake has caused. Today, more than ever, I am honored to work for such a great family. I personally admire the way Mr. Trump has handled this situation and I am grateful for his understanding.

If only Obummer would have handed off the economy in a responsible manner like W.
so that's the best they could come up with?
Yes, they don't have the 10s of people vetting speeches like Hillary does. Melanie Trump probably wasn't even aware of plagiarism (has she ever written a paper in her life?) - I'm surprised the media isn't crowing that she admires Mic e. And why is the media blowing it all out of proportion - it was still top of Google News this morning - 2 days after with the 2nd night of the convention in between?
Melania is a dumb ass broad tbh. Trump would be better off riding solo in the white house and having parties with Ron Jeremy and hugh Heffner in the oval office.
that broad.she can't even get a speech right. The one thing she is asked to do she s it up
She's better off going home and waiting fro trump to lay that pipe

Probably that too. is dumb
Does she not know that there are 2 parties in this country and Mic Obama belongs in the opposing party?
She's ing up. Christie Soprano might need to make a house call tbqh
Melania is not dumb
she speaks 5 languages she does not like to speak. She was convinced by trump to give the speech. She is new to this type of thing. She is a complete outside on this. Trump spoke with media before because of his tv he loves the media attention. Some do better then that. George Bush was not a great speaker. The current president is a good speaker. I do not agree with a lot he does but he is a great speaker!
Donald Trump Jr is a great speaker also
Team Trump Released A Letter To Try To End Its Plagiarism Scandal. It May Backfire.
The statement was printed not on campaign letterhead, but on Trump Organization letterhead. In it, Meredith McIver identified herself not as a campaign staffer, but as “an in-house staff writer at the Trump Organization.” She notes that she offered her resignation “to Mr. Trump and the Trump family,” but makes no mention of offering to resign from the Trump campaign.
that letter “raised all kinds of questions about whether this has been illegal support.”
“His company is not supposed to be supporting his campaign,” Noble explained, which would be an illegal corporate contribution. While campaign disclosures have indicated that Trump for President has been paying the Trump Organization for some staff time, which is permissible under campaign finance law, Noble observed that “the lines are becoming very blurred.”
“Nowhere in here does she say she was working at the Trump campaign,” he added. “Then she talks about resigning, the implication is resigning from the company. Why would she be doing that if she was working for the campaign? This raises a lot of questions.”

Ignorant of the law (and lots of other stuff), and hiring "the best lawyers", Donny Trash thinks he's immune to the law, anyway.

no that would be the clintons
Ignorance of the law worked for Hillary. I hope Trump says exactly that if questioned.
Trump Adviser Stands by Call for Clinton to Face 'Firing Squad'
"as far as I'm concerned, the laws of the land on treason could be a firing squad if she's found guilty."
He first made the comments on the Jeff Kuhner Show, and when confronted with his earlier remarks he said he stood by them.
"I stand by it because treason is treason. When you take information on a server, that's a non classified server, classified info, and you've got names of American CIA, Secret Service, ambassadors or whatever and you're sharing that out there, you're giving the enemy information," Baldasaro said.

This is the kind of vigilante trash that's attracted to Donny Trash
It doesn't matter to this ignorant, emotionally deranged trash that Repugs had a hard-on for years and spent many $Ms trying convict Hillary, and, typically for Repugs, ended up flaccid, just as they did with Slick Willie.
What did thinkprogress say about Hillary paying Huma from the State department and the Clinton Foundation?
Maybe your husband is in the wrong industry. Maybe his personality sucks. Who the knows? There are a lot of variables that go into landing a job. It's not all about skill level and experience. It's Obama's fault people aren't qualified for the jobs out there?

I've seen the same jobs available in my area for the last 6-12 months...still sitting there waiting to be filled. Great paying jobs. I'm still in disbelief they haven't been filled yet. Those layoffs in your article are from the energy sector. Well...people had to realize the energy boom doesn't last forever. It goes up and down. When the price of oil goes down there are going to be winners and losers. I live in Pennsylvania and every time a coal plant gets shuttered it's time to blame the government!! It's the government's fault the natural gas boom started pushing out coal. It's the government's fault that electricity demand has gone down which has resulted in less demand for coal. It's the government's fault that people in the city don't want to breathe in toxic air every time the wind blows the wrong way giving their children health problems and bringing down their property value. It's the government's fault that coal workers were too short-sighted to see the trends in their industry and cope with the hard truth that cheaper, cleaner fuels were going to eventually replace their more expensive and dirtier kind of fuel. The Beaver Cleaver generation think these jobs are supposed to last forever like it's not an ever-changing world. Rather than look in the mirror and hold themselves accountable for their blindness it's easier to use someone else as the scapegoat. It's like a programmer from the 80's and 90's blaming the government because hardly anyone uses COBOL anymore in this day and age
The convention just highlights the problems of the GOP.
Many have said that it may be one of the last hurrahs of a dying national party.
I wouldn't write off the GOP yet. They can still attract young people, as the GOP interns can attest to in this white-angle shot of GOP congressional interns.
Meh. It is a tempest in a teacup. Slightly amusing, but the kind of stuff that makes for ratings.
The great recession cut very deep. The labor market is only really now bouncing back, with wages finally being pressed upwards due to constraints.
The answers are in in your own link:
Challenger cautioned that it is not unusual to see job cuts rise while the economy is improving. He noted layoffs were elevated near the height of the dotcom bubble in the late '90s.
"Like IBM and Intel, companies are shifting strategies that require them to cut in some places while adding in others," he said.
muh jobs
derp derp derp
My husband is in the tech industry and if he gets an interview, he usually gets the job. Unfortunately, with the filters used by placement agencies (whatever key words they're using) and so many people applying for the same job, it's not easy to get to the interview stage. My dh is not a dinosaur as I am - he's up to date - "we hired you to drag us into the 21st century" - so say these government officials at his latest job.Maybe your husband is in the wrong industry. Maybe his personality sucks. Who the knows? There are a lot of variables that go into landing a job. It's not all about skill level and experience.

I don't get you people. You complain about there being no jobs for millenniums. Wages are not going up but there are lots of jobs out there that can't be filled. Does that make sense to anybody? It's simple supply and demand. If there is such a demand for workers, then wages should be going up.
It's not just energy jobs, but tech jobs (further down in the article). Funny you should mention COBOL programmers of which I'm one (even started with punch cards - lol- that's how old I am).
https://www.laserfiche.com/simplicit...ws-your-cobol/
COBOL supports 90 percent of Fortune 500 business systems every day
70 percent of all critical business logic and data is written in COBOL
COBOL powers 85 percent of all daily business transactions processed
$2 trillion worth of mainframe applications in corporations are written in COBOL
1.5 million new lines of COBOL code are written every day
5 billion lines of new COBOL code are developed every year
The total investment in COBOL technologies, staff and hardware is estimated at $5 trillion
An estimated 2 million people are currently working in COBOL
The problem is that the program is in operation, but the world isn’t cranking out many COBOL programmers anymore. The COBOL programmers we do have are nearing retirement, with as many as half of them aged 50 or more, according to Bloomberg Business Week. This goes beyond the government, as it affects private industry as well. “In some cases, only one or two people understand the core banking software the bank runs on and the older programming language in which it is written,” writes American Banker, which it calls the “key person” problem.
Consequently, active COBOL programmers are in short supply. So, thanks to the law of supply and demand, salaries for COBOL programmers are going up. “The salary for top talent can reach six figures, and agencies and companies are still awarding contracts today for COBOL software maintenance,” writes FedTech. The U.S. Office of Personnel Management estimated that the maintenance costs for the retirement system could go up 10 to 15 percent due to the lack of programmers.
I'm sure we can both find articles to say just about anything - like the pitiful 38,000 jobs report in May vs 162,000 expected (below). So please explain to me why US economic confidence is low if there are so many great jobs around and the economy is fine and dandy.
