U.S. Had Zero Job Growth in August
Poor reporting, Don. Why not point out that the private sector, once again - as it has for virtually every month of the Obama Presidency - added tens of thousands of jobs to the economy in August. And why not point out that, once again, those gains were offset by the tens of thousands of job losses in the public sector - losses that have come at the hands of our esteemed conservative politicians in Congress. And why not point out that had 45,000 Verizon workers not been on strike, they would have been added to the number of people who are working? In short, take the three together, and the unemployment figure would have been significantly improved had it not been for corporate America trying to destroy our unions and dismantle government. Just a thought.— September 6, 2011 9:52 a.m.
