HOW’S THAT HOPEY-CHANGEY STUFF WORKIN’ OUT FOR YA? (CONT’D): Only
47% of Adults Have Full-Time Job. “If today the same proportion of Americans
worked as just a decade ago, there would by almost nine million more people
working. Just in the last year, almost two million Americans have left the labor
force. With a majority of the population not holding a full-time job, it isn’t
surprising that economic growth has been so weak.”
Romney’s 47% number keeps
coming up. They’ll turn
us all into beggars ’cause they’re easier to please. . . .

Months: Record Stretch of 7.5%+ Unemployment Continues. “Since January 2009,
when Barack Obama was inaugurated as president, the United States has seen 54
straight months with the unemployment rate at 7.5 percent or higher, which is
the longest stretch of unemployment at or above that rate since 1948, when the
Bureau of Labor Statistics started calculating the national unemployment
rate.”
