The J.J. Heldrich Center for Workforce Development at Rutgers just released a study. This is not good news, and ay not be reported in the lapdog MSM because it does not fit the "Recovery" party line promoted by the DNC(C), The People's Central Committee (Congress), or The Red Shed (formerly known as the White House).
Eighty percent of people jobless last summer (August) are still out of work. Just one in five (21%) found jobs.
- Of those who found work, only 13% found full-time jobs.
- 70% have been looking for work longer than six months.
To cope, 70% have dipped-into retirement funds, 56% borrowed money from family or friends, and 45% turned to credit cards.
- 42% skimped on medical care, 20% moved-in with friends or family, and 18% visited a soup kitchen.
As we often used to say "this wound is deeper than the flesh...it has cut into the bone."
I leave you with a "classic" rendition by the Silhouettes "Get A Job."
