What’s really behind those “good” job numbers?

What’s really behind those “good” job numbers? A lot more part-time workers, 600K to be exact. “What distinguishes part-time workers from full-time? In general, part-time workers don’t get benefits – like health insurance.” More of Obamacare’s chicken-sh*t coming home to roost.

  • Well Boss, after that ass whoopin' you got from Romney last night, we're gonna have to really cook the books! I say we completely forget about the 250K who stopped looking for work, and if we just add all of these part-time workers, all 600K of them, and then we just don't factor in the actual 11% to 17% unemployment numbers, and we get our allies in the media to lie throught their f***ing teeth for us again, oh yeah and play up that anemic 114K jobs we added mostly to the public sector and hey...viola 7.8% unemployment right before the election...you're a shoe-in!

  • I think it is a little premature to weigh in on this as I am waiting to hear what Mitt's garbage man has to say.
