70% Of Jobs Added In January Were Minimum Wage Waiters And Retail Workers

[longknife]

But Obozo claims the economy is doing just fine! Best employment record in years. Household wages increasing. Hooray. Give us another four years.

This is the full breakdown of January job gains:

Retail Trade: +58K

Leisure and Hospitality, which includes food workers: +44K

Professional and business service workers, excluding temp workers: +34K

Manufacturing workers posted a curious rebound, rising by +29K. We are confident this number will be revised promptly lower.

Construction +18K

Wholesale Trade: +9K

Education and Health saw a big and unexplained drop from 54K to 6K

Information services added just 1K workers

As for sectors losing workers included Temp Help workers, Transportation and Warehousing (courtesy of the truck and train recession), Mining and Logging, and Government workers.

Bottom line: the big sequential bounce in wages was driven entirely by the January minimum wage increase, and the low December base effect. Expect this sequential increase to renormalize in February when the base now reflect higher minimum wages.

Hate to lose those good paying government jobs

 

[SassyIrishLass]

Welp....that should let the wind out of the Obambot's sails.....but it won't

 

[Agit8r]

The government is shrinking? Obama must be incompetent

 

[Iceweasel]

You know the economy sucks if public sector employees get kicked off the tit.

 

[JakeStarkey]

The government is the smallest it has been in fifty years.

 

[Jomama]

50 years !!!! Evidence please.

50 years !!!! Evidence please.

He's full of it

Largest-ever federal payroll to hit 2.15 million

There is no data on wages. Its all made up.

Obama wants higher wages, republicans fight him

Republicans then cry that the majority of jobs created are low wage.

It's like sticking your foot in the water and complaining about a wet sock

 

[ScienceRocks]

But the republicans want to cut r&d and science jobs that are a high percentage of our high paying jobs. Republican trade and inability to stop massive corps from killing off all the competition has done this.

Every one wants higher wages, Obama can't do any more about it than I can.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Total Government Employment Since 1962

Make sure to go all the way to the right (heh) to find out total number of federal employees.

Nonsense. If you look at the two parties it's the dems that benefit from low wages, more people to vote for handouts.

Yep. Huge gains in part time and seasonal. Retail current being laid off. Tourism/leisure will go through layoffs in a few months.

Right. So many tourism jobs will be lost during the summer vacation season.

Thus is the only ham handed retort Consevatives can muster.

I said not one thing about who benefits. I said Republicans don't want higher wages and they dont. Then they complain that the wages are low. Focus
