Thousands of new jobs?

[TexasSissy]

Are they counting my sister's job she got last month? My sister, with an accounting degree, settled for a minimum wage job at a convenience store. Hardly a career job. Was this one of the jobs they are counting?

AND...if 9 million people were unemployed in December 2003, and there are 9 million people unemployed now....who in the hell got all those tens of thousands of new jobs? Really. Who the hell was hired?

Are they talking about teens getting summer jobs? It sure wasn't the 9 million who were already unemployed, or there wouldn't STILL be 9 million unemployed, would there?

WTF???? This is so confusing.

1. It goes like this

If I have a job making 50K per year, plus benefits, and I lose it. Then, six months later, I get two part-time jobs at 20K per year (total annual income 40K), with no benefits. Common sense tells me I received a 20% pay cut, and I lost my medical insurance. The assholes in this administration want to tell me I'm twice as better off than I was six months ago, because I've got two jobs now instead of just one.
