The Job Market December, 2016
Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter, and his views on the job market.
"I have been blogging about the job market in the US and around the world since August 2001."
What I write is not designed to be political or critical; they are my observations and sense of where we are and where we are going.------------------------------------------------------------------------------
December 2016
As we come to the end of the Obama Presidency, it seems like a good time to do a recap an analysis of the successes and failures of the past 8 years and come to some conclusions about the progress the nation has made.
CNBC recently reported that since the bottom reached in the US economy, the United States has created 5.7 new positions. Other surveys claim as many as 14 million new positions. That is fabulous news for those able to find work. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that 94.7 million have given up looking for work. 14 million people now receive a disability check from the government.
