I hear you Dan and the spin always is on, apparently. Actually, I've found 90% of the workers do it and 10% are worthless. Leaves a wide gap, eh? I just don't get the reason for publishing such figures when so many need jobs besides burger flipping. I have a friend who has his masters. He had to deliver pizza to make ends meet not too long ago. It's just that everyone in high places seems to always justify their jobs at the expense of others, below, with none. We are in troubled times. I want some real answers, not BS. I want new jobs for everyone, not those contrived by political BS Governement officials taking credit for economic recovery sickens me as it did when Clinton took office and declared his reason for being as some sort of great reserecter. Hell, it was our nation's creativeness and desire that did the job. What's the next great market that will drive this economy without government's intervention or credit taking attitude? I really like the Asian telecom market dependent on satellites but what's to become of our earth bound fiber optics?
