An alternative way of looking at the employment numbers paints a bleak picture

American Thinker

Summary

Instead of hyping the "improving" employment numbers, an economist observes that the average work week is shrinking, which is equivalent to actually losing jobs as the total hours worked is actually less even though more people are working.  Another way of saying this is that the jobs being created are part time jobs, not well-paid full time jobs.

Another observation of my own is that there still aren't as many people working as there were when Obama took office despite five years of "recovery".  My own opinion is that a recovery is not a high priority with this administration nor is it a high priority among Democrats.  The Democrats are more interested in feathering their own nests instead of actually helping the country at large.
