Mish:

In spite of the baloney numbers put out by the BLS, US employment has been in an accelerating decline for three years now. Worse, thousands of former software engineers now flip burgers at the big M..... degraded living styles R US (NG)

Best, Earlie

12,000 a year out of 163,000 sounds like a lot of attrition to me, but what do I know?

Happy job hunting!

Joe Smith started the day early having set his alarm clock (MADE IN JAPAN) for 6 a.m. While his coffeepot (MADE IN CHINA) was perking, he shaved with his electric razor (MADE IN HONG KONG). He put on a dress shirt (MADE IN SRI LANKA), designer jeans (MADE IN SINGAPORE) and tennis shoes (MADE IN KOREA). After cooking his breakfast in his new electric skillet (MADE IN INDIA) he sat down with his calculator (MADE IN MEXICO) to see how much he could spend today. After setting his watch (MADE IN TAIWAN) to the radio (MADE IN INDIA) he got in his car (MADE IN GERMANY) and continued his search for a good paying AMERICAN JOB. At the end of yet another discouraging and fruitless day, Joe decided to relax for a while. He put on his sandals (MADE IN BRAZIL) poured himself a glass of wine (MADE IN FRANCE) and turned on his TV (MADE IN INDONESIA), and then wondered why he can't find a good paying job in.....AMERICA!

Joe Smith finally landed a job recycling 12-pak beer cartons into AAA Treasury Bonds backed by the full faith an credit of a debtor nation so far flung from the reality of its own financial and monetary situation it takes tens of thousands of people to keep the illusion of FIAT consumerable....the whole ball of wax does melt...
