Zero Hedge: "Inside the catastrophic jobs report"



Fewer full time jobs, more part time jobs. The article says that most jobs filled are from foreign born job applicants. Not likely to be very popular with the public, as this administration is opening the flood gates for illegal immigration.

Against the possibility of being labeled "non-factual", I did check out the BLS data, and at least some of this checks out. For example, full time workers really did crash month to month as Zero Hedge says.

Zero Hedge's article did not mention it much, but most of these jobs that were created were government jobs, or government related. My own impression is that the huge budget deficits are funding most of the so-called job growth. Zero Hedge did mention media bias, and that does appear to be the case with this story.

An examination of Ground News and their ratings for factuality and bias, fails to show a mention of this article. It may be there, but there are dozens of articles, and those I've reviewed do not mention Zero Hedge. In my opinion, Ground News is not what it claims to be. Ground News claims to show every side of the story, but where's this side? This story is an example of why I think that they do not live up to that billing.
