Fits and starts - most people just gave up or are taking disability checks

Hospitality - the rich going on vacation while middle-class works

Minerals - Wow the lower & middle class have hope for work

Construction - Illegal immigrants continue to take jobs (cheap labor)

Automotive - Most cars coming off lease, CEO's new new cars

Services -  *see construction

Housing - middle class lost their homes, rich are buying up foreclosures dirt cheap

Manufacturing - *see Services

Health care - largest part of population are baby boomers, Illegal's take health care for free.

Technology - markets flooded with techs driving the ability to make serious money away.

Franchising - Americas fat, food is cheap. keep eating

 

Doesn't look any better from were I sit.

They claim that Obama is responsible for this recovery based on his spending bills. Then they tell you that he is not responsible for all the spending and that it was actually Bush that did all the spending (article by Nutting). Based on MSN's thinking, Bush is responsible for the recession but should also be given credit for the recovery because Obama did not create all that spending, Bush did. So which is it? Don't worry, I know the truth.

Do not tell Obama about these companies, he will have to tax and regulate them for making a profit!

Most of the posts I have read here indicate to me that they simply do not have the facts to back up what they post.

A degree in basket weaving, and sports casting will not get you a job. ohh add liberal arts.

to many college graduates thought that little paper meant something rather than knowing how to work.

skills pay the bills.A  product or skill that is needed or wanted are what keep people working. real real simple concept.

Can't get a job, can't sell my house, the guy who wants to buy  my house can't get the financing.  Things are looking up.

Is this a joke or just another paid political ad by MSNBC?  Duh, ya think I should vote for Obama because everything is looking up, right?  We are being led by the worst president in history through one of America's worst times.  This man knows nothing about what he is doing and yet the media seems to love to portray him as someone who understands and knows all things.

Yeah!!!!, they keep saying, "oh well", unemployment benefits edged down & oh yeah things are getting better but what & where are the game plans, you can't play a game without having a plan to win? these dumbies are out of gas & are looking for a way to refuel, which is really funny to me because this is all 1 big major catástrofe of a joke, real people do real things, & when they have things like a family involved in this picture, all i can say is you have my sympathy.

 

People whom have loved ones in this picture, can you really look at that & tell me exactly what you have.

They belong in a Circus....

Obama owns this economy.    The U.S. economy was LOSING 750,000 jobs a month when the fascist republicans left in disgrace.    The best Rich Mitt has to offer is " If I am elected president, in 4 years the unemployment rate will be down to 6%"....  guess what jackass,   it is projected to be down to 6% sooner than that with OBAMA at the helm.

Hey Daniel Bukszpan @ CNBC

 

when you wrote"

While the labor market is gaining momentum, the level of employment is still 5.8 million jobs from its level before the recent recession. It's impossible to say what a fully recovered U.S. economy will look like, or how long it will take to get there. "

 

I swallowed my own vomit!

[BRIEFING.COM] Recent action saw the key indices slip to fresh afternoon lows. The S&P 500 now trades with a gain of 0.1% while the Nasdaq has slid into the red.
