Misplaced rage considering oil producers don't set prices. The likes of Goldman Sachs does.

Well heres the thing. Capitalism requires businesses to move overseas when it becomes feasible to do so. This is because capitalism requires businesses to streamline spending to increase profits. If some Indian guy can answer a phone for $2 an hour of course Norton is going to send jobs there. Its an inherent flaw in capitalism itself that it cares not about people, only profits. Yes, capitalism got us here but its out of control and no longer helping the average person - only helping the super rich get even more super rich. Its time to transcend capitalism and move the world forward

With what? The hippie counter culture?

Capitalism ain't perfect. But it's the best system for, though not all, the majority of people. A Star Trek society is a long ways away.

Not only that... African-Americans unemployment soared from 15.9% to 16.7% in one month...

And yet, African-Americans are the ones who still support Obama the most because he's black... Ridiculous really... racist people, whatever their skin color is, are really retarded.

That's what happens when you don't give equal opportunity to all groups. Treat people like animals long enough, they become one.

not even a Mcdonald job ??
that mean we are really in deep...........

Indeed. There is still racism, even unconscious racism in most of society. And yep, treat people like they are different long enough, and they will act different....

Warning.. sarcasm in progress..

First of all, I congratulate the US government and bankers for putting in genius efforts to destroy the economy.

Secondly, I thank China for its "lessons never learned" spirit and continue to own and buy US debts.

Thirdly, I applaud IMF for its success in taking over Greece sovereignty.

Actually its closer than you think. Capitalism is failing right before our eyes. Just read the new. Its obviously not the best way to run an economy. Screw balancing the budget. We need to balance profits. When the people who actually earn profits for a company get to see those profits we'll be closer to righting the economic ship.

You, me and everyone reading this should get a percentage of profit from the company they work for. Like the above poster said, if a few people hold too much money, capitalism grinds to a halt. We need to refunnel profits back to the employees who actually earn those profits with their sweat, tears and sleeplessness.

If we visualize the movement of money in this economy its a pyramid. Instead, we need something more like a donut or something that looks like a magnetic field. Money flows up through the business then back down through society from the bottom up and it starts all over again.

Theres very viable alternatives out there. You just have to look up some marxist theory, anarchist theory and actually read capitalist theory to see that nothing is set in stone and economies change all the time because they fail to provide people food, water, shelter and peace of mind. For example Latin American economies...

Good thing we gave the most corrupt and vile people on the planet trillions of tax dollars to NOT HIRE A @(#$*@#$ PERSON!

Obama was totally swindled by the bankers and all the money he was going to use to better America has gone to the people who want to destroy America. He was put in a rock and a hard place and he made the only decision he could.

Dont blame Obama. Blame all the super rich capitalist pigs who promised us that giving them trillions of dollars would fix the economy.

They hired no one and kept the money for themselves. Wheres my guillotine?

Really? Honestly, I don't blame Obama. He was hand picked by TPTB but he IS part of the equation...

And I'm supposed to be surprised?
The POTUS has destroyed the American economy, and all of his mesmerized minions continue to chant their mantra," Change, change, change!"
Soon, they will be begging for that with an outstretched hand holding an empty cup!
SnF

Mr Obama, your a one term POTUS!

Yes, and who do you think will come to the rescue?

This entire affair has been a concerted effort by several different entities. Whoever takes Obama's place will carry on where the rest have left off.

So go ahead an add a few hundred thousand to those looking for work since May.

Enjoy Comrades!

I am out of college. I was employed in under three weeks.......

Maybe some should pick a career that is in demand.............Everybody wants the airconditioned cubicle where you do nothing but sit all day..........

Well, I am working my butt off, but a tleast I am employed

I do not feel sorry for people trying to take the easy way out. There is work, if you feel like working

Yes, because AA's are the only people that vote based off of trivial, idiotic factors.

Yeah. Like McDonald's perhaps, or busing tables. Tons of jobs out there, it's just like millions of people who were working before have suddenly become lazy.

It sounds like you have a pride issue......

I would take any job to hold me over if it were called for.


Let me ask you one thing.............How many accountants does it take to add for a company......If colleges are pumping out thousands of accountants and companies are not hiring accountants, companies do not want to hire people to count how much they are losing.......Why would anybody go to school for accounting in a time when businesses are not hiring?

I am supposed to feel sorry for them?

I just picked accounting as an example. There are many other white collar high dollar jobs out there.

That is great for you but. . . . not the case around the country, way to come across like a pig.

You know business and retail is 70% of the US economy yet students majoring in those are not getting hired quickly.
Or maybe you expect people to switch from one major to another like hot potato even though each degree takes years to achieve.

Get lost you clown troll

PS I personally know optics and chemical engineering majors who are having trouble finding work so its not ust your paper pushers.

From high-tech silicon valley, it feels like we're going to have two negative quarters and build back up. However someone reminded me that in 'normal America', we've permanently shipped jobs out and it does not feel like there's any recovery on the horizon.

Folk in California don't want to start businesses. The number of hurdles to jump prevent success. Tax, environmental, healthcare, business lawsuits, disability lawsuits, regulatory compliance, everyone wants a say in how you run your business. I tried a few businesses, the last I shutdown with $50K of funding when the franchise tax board wanted $60K taxes up front for the first quarter.

In some states you can't even open a lemonade stand without the police shutting you down.

One small hamburger chain said they calculated Obamacare costs would force them to pass the costs on to customers raising their burgers from $5 to $8, which would reduce customers, and cause them to lay off some of their 100 employees, and shut down some restaurants.

Now who's going to hire in this situation? And who's going to be hurt?
