    Thursday's monthly jobs report from the government showed that employers added a solid 223,000 jobs in June and that the unemployment rate fell to 5.3 percent from 5.5 percent in May. Even so, the generally improving job market still bears traits that have long been regarded as weaknesses.

    The unemployment rate didn't fall in June because more people were hired. The rate fell solely because the number of people who had become dispirited and stopped looking for work far exceeded the number who found jobs.


    I'm confused. Is there more jobs or not?

    Solely definitely is not the case. It looks like a little of both to me. However it's impossible to argue that healthcare reform hasn't totally messed up full time employment. It's now much less expensive to hire two 20 hour workers than one 40 hour worker. Simple fact
    Read up on FTEs, or full time equivalents. Those 2 20 workers are the exact same as 1 40 hour worker.

    Let me help you dumbmotherfucker with a math equation. I'll type slow so you can follow along.


    1 40-hour work must be paid hourly plus obamacare.

    2 20-hour works must be paid hourly only


    therefore the cost of

    1 40-hour work is > 2 20-hour workers



    Hope this helps. But I'm not holding me breath.

    Show me where it says any employer has to pay one penny for the cost of insurance to any employee.

    You are fucking stupid. Read the bill.

    Since you are johnny on the spot, why don't you produce the line-item citation for all of us to see?

    We'll wait patiently, but per usual we won't expect much.
