Washington POST reports" The recovery puzzle: Matching jobs to job-seekers

Post the want ad and wait for people to line up? In places such as this town in rural Ohio, it’s not that easy.

This is an interesting story..
And a lesson on why the American economy is not steamrolling back to life.. (no matter what any politician or President says)

The skills of Americans are becoming obsolete.. We are the service economy.

So why happens with robotics replace the waiter? What happens when the service is performed by a mindless patented creature? 

I don’t know.

And no one seems to be trying to answer that dangerously close question..

Washington POST reports" The recovery puzzle: Matching jobs to job-seekers

So jobs got added in April..

…and. 60,000+ of those jobs came from McDonalds.. But 1million people applied for the 60,000 jobs.. So 6% of so of those desperate to work got jobs somewhere they probably didn’t want to work at.. And that’s not putting down McDonalds workers in the least, do not think I am.. But it is a testimony to the depression-level job crisis this nation is in.. It appears to be deepening. With the real unemployment numbers at 17%+ and the youth unemployment well in the 20 percentile, it appears we are creating a permanent underclass… One without pensions, health care, or jobs paying more than minimum wage.. But we got Osama. And for a few minutes everything seemed alright…..until we all woke up the next day.

Florida busy spending tax dollars giving capes to the unemployed. Because people who don't have jobs would rather be... superheros without jobs?

The AP reports the strange but true news from the tip of America:

Florida officials are investigating an unemployment agency that spent public money to give 6,000 superhero capes to the jobless.

Workforce Central Florida spent more than $14,000 on the red capes as part of its “Cape-A-Bility Challenge” public relations campaign. The campaign featured a cartoon character, “Dr. Evil Unemployment,” who needs to be vanquished.

I was urgently searching for what the Dr. Evil Unemployment character looked like.

And I was victorious!

Here he is! In all his jobless wonder..

….I think someone should check Smurf village. It appears Gargamel left trying to eat smurfs in place of terrorizing unemployed Floridians.

The joys of the jobless?

Money quote from this article:

But really, once you stop working you realize that you don’t need a whole lot of money. I mean, I think that when you start working, you’re essentially trading your leisure time (i.e. happiness) for money. And then when you’re working and miserable, the natural impulse is to try and reverse that transaction and buy some of your happiness back. So you become a compulsive shopper
