Doom & Gloom

The United States lost over half a million full-time jobs just last month. 523,000 full-time positions eliminated. We haven’t seen that kind of shrinkage since the dark days of 2008-09.

But it doesn’t take a skeptic to look beneath the headlines to figure out where the 288,000 net figure came from — and it came from a surge in part-time employment, which surged by nearly 800,000. An almost equal number of workers — 676,000, not seasonally adjusted — became “discouraged” and left the labor force and are no longer considered by the BLS to be unemployed.

Pupil's mother stabs female teacher to death in front of horrified five and six-year-old students in French school

The last was in 1995 when 51-year-old English teacher Michel Antoine was beaten to death in the south west town of Dax by two students, one of whom had just failed his exams. Both murderers ended up serving ten years in prison.

The Insiders: This month’s jobs headlines don’t tell the true story

Last month, 523,000 full-time jobs were lost, while 799,000 part-time jobs were added. Another way of looking at these numbers is that almost all of the 288,000 jobs created last month were just part-time positions. And remember, not even that would happen if President Obama got his way and raised the minimum wage during this anemic recovery.

261 She, who ne'er answers till a Husband cools,
262 Or, if she rules him, never shows she rules;
263 Charms by accepting, by submitting sways,
264 Yet has her humour most, when she obeys;
