You're "Jobs!" mantra is as bad and misleading as all the other one word fart bombs you and the Republican Loyalists drop every chance they're in a closed space with more than 2 people. "Hillary!" "Obama!" "Freedom!" Fortunate for you but unfortunate for the country, there are plenty of stupid people that will believe you.

Your experience is different than other people's, even in your own state:

Indiana is nearing its lowest unemployment rate ever

https://www.indystar.com/story/money/2017/07/21/indiana-nearing-its-lo
west-unemployment-rate-ever/500488001/

Indiana's jobless rate tumbled for the fourth consecutive month in June, putting the state within reach of its record low.

The number of unemployed workers in Indiana fell by 6,515 people, or 0.2 percentage points, bringing the state's unemployment rate down to 3 percent. Indiana could soon match or beat its all-time low of 2.9 percent, which was last reached in October 2000.

Since the last time Indiana enjoyed record-low unemployment, the state's jobless rate ballooned to as high as 10.9 percent during the Great Recession. It has been steadily falling since March 2010 — outpacing the national recovery.

Indiana's unemployment rate during the past year fell by 1.5 percentage points, the second-fastest in the U.S. to Wyoming (1.6 percentage points). The U.S. unemployment rate is 4.4 percent.

Even as most out-of-work Indiana residents are finding job opportunities, though, wage growth has remained sluggish in Indiana. The state has consistently lagged U.S. wage growth during the recovery.

Personal income in Indiana grew by 0.7 percent between the fourth quarter of 2016 and first quarter of this year, according to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis. That was the ninth-slowest growth in the U.S.

You said "The job market is shit." That article says in your state it's never been better. Can't be both. I totally understand that raw data can be slanted or misread and misused - do you have some facts, details or other info other than your "feels" to back up that it's "shit?"- G

Who The F*ck works for an hour a month??? Talk about manipulating data/facts to prove a slanted agenda. You're such a habitual "fudger" of reality that you don't even know you're doing it - it's become a reflex for you.

Jack does that all the time. Especially to SECOND. He gets pissed because SECOND tries to move on. He expects a response so what SECOND posts confuses and upsets him. His thinking is fussy, and that's being generous.

Second doesn't debate. Second just talks to himself. He's said so several times himself.



All you and Wishy do T is throw baseless insults all of the time. Your ability to debate leaves a lot to be desired as well.



And by the way Wishy, we've been talking about jobs in here for quite a while. Unless you have anything worthwhile to add, please go back under your bridge.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

Here's an insight Jack. Recently you said you had posted really intelligent things. Recently Jack, you said recently. That is an admission that what you had been posting was not. So Jack, go back and reread the crap of the past and you will see it's as dumb as the shit you are posting currently.

I back up any post I've written in 2017.

Care to try posting again to me without an insult, T?


I'm beginning to think that it's impossible for you to do.

Sure, I'll just post something from another thread addressing the issue of insulting posts towards others.

Jack:

"You'll have to answer that question for us, G. Which birthday did you just celebrate between the OP and this last post? Your 16th, or your 18th?"

"Were all the men in your family pieces of shit?"

"Do YOU think for yourself, or do you just let the MSM do all of your thinking for you now?"

"I figured this thread would get the troll to crawl out from whatever bridge she's been hiding under in those deep south Indiana bogs she shares with the other inbred hill people from Wrong Turn."

"G is free to feel as much guilt and shame as he wants to feel for being a male..."

"…She can't even give her husband a break. Even though he gives her bung sex which she craves..."

"Flame on, ultra-bitch."

"This thread title and the OP that followed it were childish."

Maybe you should take your own advice: "Check yourself before you wreck yourself, princess."

==============================

All this from the guy who's posted to many times to count that others insult him but he insults no one. To funny G, to funny.

What a moron and liar this guy is. What do you suppose he'll say in response to these facts G. I'm thinking he'll deal with them much the same way as he deals with facts about Trump.

Every sentence you type is STINKY make believe fantasy land. I used to be a waiter, 5 years, remember? Or do you only keep track of what you say? And because I know people too - some people don't want to work more. They're ok with working less and making less. JUST ASK JACK. You think he's working a 40 hour week for that $250 a week? No? So he has time for another job if he wants to - and there are jobs to be had. It's not easy, it's not fun, applying for work is even a little scary for some people, but they are there.
You've argued yourself into a corner again. = GSTRING
