Will 2015 = 2008?

Largest employers (head count) is a very poor metric to measure diversity of an economy, as some industries by their nature have more employees.

Say what?

Graph #1 - Number of Service jobs in America:

Graph #2: Number of High Paid Manufacturing jobs..

In 1980, less than 24% of all U.S. jobs were low income.
Today 41% of all U.S. jobs are low income.

Still think it is a poor indicator of the economy??

I usually don't do this...but damn.
This post is so typical of what is wrong with America.
This incredibly myopic-party centric view of everything is exactly why we have lost this country to corporatist and special interest.
It is just f*cking STUPID to think that one party (this time claiming Republican) is the only party doing damage to the middle class.
Hello moron!!! Anyone home????
What has this administration done for the middle class, vs what VERY BENEFICIAL things have they done to benefit the investment class and Wall Street??
President Obama has been the greatest friend to Wall Street than any other President - PERIOD.
And you are so stuck in your one-sided partisan bullshit for brains to see it.

Correct! The Republican manifesto is pounding the middle class into the ground financially.

Homeownership is a huge detriment to full employment.

People who own their homes but lose their jobs are reluctant to move to other places (states, countries) where their skills are in demand.

So they suck up unemployment bennies, let their skills atrophy and ultimately go bankrupt and onto welfare and either homeless or in subsidized housing.

This is the perfect arguments for liberals to call for confiscation and redistribution of all housing.

Think the idea won't cross their hive mind?

good idea if you want to drive every corporation out of the US or if you want prices to rise by 50%.

See why we say liberalism is based in pure ignorance. Is any other conclusion possible?

-Reduces all taxes, fees and employee costs to 30% of gross.

-Locks all prices at max. 2009 levels.

Last time government experimented with locking prices (Nixon was trying Obama's dictator schtick at the time) the result was empty shelves.

Like in Venezuela which, these days, is run by an elected president slightly to the right of America's Kenyan Emperor.

You are fucked up in so many ways.

Hey, I get my best hedges from listening to people who don't listen to themselves.

I wasn't referencing listening to one's self, I'm directing at the posters around here who are constantly warning to get out of the market, then when their prediction of doom doesn't pan out they suddenly claim they actually stayed in so caught the same profits as the rest of us.

It smells like bullshit, all they are doing is hoping to be the broken clock then we'll hear it about how they predicted it, when they really didn't.

Hey it's hard to lose imaginary brag money.

Nixon did nothing to increase spending of the middle class.

Venezuela is a third world country.

Yes, their elected dictator got the fundamental transformation completed in record time. Obama has nearly two years left to match the achievement though his record of failure argues there may be a ghost of an economy left at that time.

Thank you!

It's always good to know when one has usurped 100% of the little piece of the hive mind a liberal has set aside for itself! Please don't forget to eat.

If you ever dig your head out of your ass you'd realize that Republicans/corporate America/wall street are the real enemies of the American middle class.

1P haven't you have proven yourself to be an ignorant and innumerate idiot on enough threads already?

I have proven that I'm right and you're not.

actually it was liberal taxes, unions, and deficits that drove 40 million middle class jobs off shore. Did you think those things kept jobs on shore???

See why we are positive that liberalism is based in pure ignorance?

 

[SteadyMercury]

Absolutely.

Your graphs had nothing to do with your claim about diversity of economy, and it would be easy to find instances where the economy was considered good despite greater number top employers via head count that are related to service industry.

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

Today 41% of all U.S. jobs are low income.

yes, its a shame that liberal deficits, liberal taxes, and liberal unions drove 40 million good high paying jobs off shore. And that is not to mention how the liberal attack on and destruction of our families and schools rendered millions unfit for high income jobs.

Project Mayhem is on schedule........bitchez!!!

Project Mayhem is on schedule........bitchez!!!

And lets not forget 20 million illegals to compete for the remaining jobs and bid down the wages of those jobs!!

The liberal jobs programs for Americans is to ship 20 million American jobs to China and invite 20 million illegals in to take another 20 million American jobs!!

Then, with their war on the family and schools they are making sure that most Americans are not qualified for any high paying jobs that become available.

Some of the rather bizarre market action recently has me wondering if we are in the middle of a bear market rally, and if so how violently it might end. Several stocks on an uptrend appear fundamentally unstable. We have witnessed massive moves in several speculative stocks like Tesla and Netflix that are hard to defend by any other reasoning than shorts being squeezed out of the market.

The higher the market goes the more vulnerable it becomes to a major collapse and sudden downward price move.A lack of short positions will bode poorly for the market if it falls rapidly because in such a situation as shorts take profit and buy back their positions they act as a floor under the market giving it support. The article below delves into how this could be a problem going forward.

100% stupid and liberal unless you can demonstrate this is more so now than during other periods prior to a crash or prior to a significant correction.
