Never mind that many living in Elkhart rejected Obama taking credit for the economic progress of hard working businesses in the area, preferring to think it was more due to their solid republican government and their own perseverance. The next day the May jobs report came out, and is the worst we’ve seen on the employment front in five years. Don’t be fooled by a declining unemployment rate, just 38,000 jobs were added last month. Nearly half a million persons gave up their job search and left the work force, as people have been doing for years.The percentage of Americans in the labor force is the smallest since 1978 with 94.71millions of workers out of the labor force.
If unemployed more than a year,
discouraged, a case less severe.
Do not go ballistic,
you are a statistic.
A loser, a discard, you hear?
This helps to explain the rise of Trump.
