It Takes a Long Time to Blog a Post

Especially at this site. This is one reason why: 

"Open jobs reach 4-year high, signaling hiring may pick up" by Christopher S. Rugaber  |  Associated Press, August 08, 2012

Been reading shit like this for the last four years. Any wonder why I tire of reading it?

WASHINGTON —  It typically takes one to three months to fill a job....

Uh-huh. Yeah, so many companies leave positions unfilled for months, yup. I guess there is no limit to what they think we will believe out here.

Still, employers have been slow to fill jobs....  

And no limit to the s*** excuses they think we will continue to accept. 

Layoffs dropped to 1.8 million in June, from nearly 2 million in May. June’s total is below prerecession levels and indicates that companies are not cutting more jobs, despite sluggish growth.

Yeah, less water coming into the boat so everything looks good.  Still sinking, but slower, and that's a good sign to the self-deluding mouthpiece of money. 

And the number of people who quit their jobs ticked down slightly to 2.1 million, from 2.2 million in May. That was still higher than a year earlier, when 1.9 million people quit.

When more people quit their jobs, it can be a sign of a strengthening job market.

And since quitting is down the job market is weakening, right? 

That’s because most people quit when they have a new job, usually with better pay....

Or they are just sick of doing shit work. 

--more--"

Of course, the unemployment rate rose after this summer's pos propaganda point. 

And you wonder why I'm not enthusiastic about reading the Boston Globe anymore?
