Long Term Unemployed Surges to Post-Pandemic High

You provided nothing but an opinion. It’s up to you to support. What does “plenty of work” actually even mean?
Not surprising at all that you do not know what it means, I am sure everyone else reading this knows what it means...it means that in one of the most densely populated parts of this country there are more jobs than people to fill them...you not knowing that begs the question, why are you in this conversation?
It’s an unmeasurable statement that is also meaningless regarding the broad health of the economy.
as it was attributed to long island I find your confusion to be self imposed
Do me a favor, link me to a recent informative post of yours.
as you requested

Inflation is stable, the economy is strong, wages are up taxes are down spending power is up.

Its still the Biden economy

You can't make this shit up.

Companies made record profits in 22-24. The country was opened shortly after Biden took office. Not sure who you think you are gaslighting.


I definitely would NOT hire you. You don’t even have the sense to look up corporate profits and bankruptcies before you post. Your work is shoddy. There is no way you do anything more complex than asking “do you want fries with that”.

Record profits under Biden. Companies did not struggle. The economy was great and more actually got to the lowest wage earners than ever before. The lowest wages saw income significantly outpace cost increases. Sadly it barely made a dent in the losses the working class lost before Biden and that Trump is stealing from them now.

The government approved companies made record profits. Funny how locking down their competitors worked out. Mom and pop stores closed but Walmart was selling. And Walmart had a very good year.
 
Pretty bad. All I did was point out what was happening. I leave it up to you to figure out why.
You mean you did not complain about the lack of jobs and blame Orange Man for it?
 
We will see about under Trump. He is mostly screwing those without money so maybe that leaves the big spenders carrying the economy. Who knows?
It will be a golden gilded age...
 
Grim news regardless of your party preference.
The gap between the "haves" and the "have nots" is accelerating quickly.

AI is warping everything. It's going to be for Trump as the internet was for Clinton. Both the good and the bad.

We're just BEGGING for our own version of the French Revolution now.
 
Grim news regardless of your party preference. Employment is the temperature gauge of the nation’s economy. The number of unemployed people looking for work more than six months has surged to its highest level since the pandemic. Basically these are people put out of work during Trump’s first few months and still are not employed.

Nice job Trump.


As of August, the number of long-term unemployed people had risen to 1.9 million, according to government data — the highest level since 2021, when the nation was still reeling from the pandemic.

With the job market faltering in recent months as employers put the brakes on hiring, more workers are being sidelined for months on end, economists told CBS News.

"We're continuing to see this low-hire, low-fire environment," said Laura Ullrich, Indeed's director of economic research for North America and a former official at the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. "There aren't really new jobs being opened up for people — there isn't room for new people to come in."

A CBS News poll released Thursday captures the dimming view many Americans have of the labor market, with 33% of respondents describing it as "good," down from 41% in April. What's more, 48% said they think there are fewer good jobs where they live compared to five years ago.
This still in many ways the Biden economy. It takes a year to reverse the damage he did. Trump is correctly firing as many government workers as possible. This makes the economy stronger. We are being transitioned from a debt based government spending economy to a private sector wealth based economy.
Wages are up, tax uts fir the middle class and seniors have increased buying power. Investment in business has increased. DOW at record highs, inflation is slowing. We have a viable energy policy based on nuclear and fossil fuels. Volvo and Volkswagen are moving here as well as pharmaceutical and semiconductor manufacturers.
THis is the foundation of a strong economy but it will take year to get us out of the debt based spending of Biden.
Democrats oppose any attempt to cut spending because thats how they pay off their supporters
 
That’s bullshit.

What was it “renamed” as?
Its very strange some of the comments. have zero basis in fact. Welfare The Great Society has never changed. It destroyed the black family and created the crime wave in black culture. It didnt end poverty it created poverty

Lets see some proof

Welfare benefits or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)​

If you or your family are experiencing financial hardship, find out how you can get help paying for food, housing, and more.

What is TANF?

Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) is a federally funded, state-run program. Also known as welfare, TANF helps families pay for:

  • Food
  • Housing
  • Home energy
  • Child care
In addition to cash assistance for living expenses, many states offer job training and help with tuition payments for work-related education.

Each state or tribal government runs its TANF program differently and has a different name.

Find out if you are eligible for TANF benefits and apply

Every state or tribal territory has its own TANF requirements for who can get financial help, services, or other benefits. You must be a resident of the state where you are applying.

Find your local TANF office

Check your TANF balance

Every state issues TANF benefits electronically on a debit card or through direct deposit. But some also issue benefits with paper checks.

If you receive your benefits electronically:

  • Check the receipt from the store where you made your purchase using a TANF card. Many stores will print the amount of money left on your card.
  • Find out if your state offers a mobile app to help manage your benefits and check your available balance.
  • Look for a phone number on the back of your card. The number may be for your local TANF office, which can tell you your balance.

Report TANF fraud, ask a question, or file a complaint

If you suspect possible welfare fraud or have a question or complaint about TANF:

So let’s define what you think welfare is and what you don’t like about it
 
The only thing that makes me pity them a bit is they did get sold a bullshit bill of goods that these degrees would mean something.
How stupid can they be? Even 50 years ago (almost), I knew that I had to pick a marketable major.

Their entire lives they were told they can be anything they want to be, now they are told they can be the opposite sex.

It wears them down, and doesn't give them a proper sense of reality.
 
Welfare ended decades ago
No it didn’t. We have TANF, food stamps, Medicaid, housing subsidies, etc., etc. Those are all a form of welfare.

The problem is we give single mothers with four illegitimate children the choice between getting the fathers to pay child support or just getting welfare from taxpayers. They shouldn’t have that option.
