The company I work for hired 7, lost 2.
We have something like 30 current job openings, 25 or so limited to blind or visually impaired people. |

Low jobs that are also low paying jobs.
Another victory for our transition from a production economy to a service oriented economy. Thanks Bubba! |

In a couple of weeks they'll revise the numbers down by about 200,000 and blame it on the drought.

I remember when the rule of thumb was 300,000 new jobs monthly and 3% GDP to break even. Anything less than that was a net loss

When a Dimocrat is in office; ANY positive growth is reported as "solid". Their voters are too stupid to realize that you need 250k a month just to stay afloat. |

A record 94,031,000 Americans were not in the American labor force
last month -- 261,000 more than July -- and the labor force participation rate stayed stuck at 62.6 percent, a 38-year low, for a third straight month in August, the Labor Department reported on Friday, as the nation heads into the Labor Day weekend. |

95,000,000 not working. Lowest labor participation rate since 1977.
Obama and Carter are stains on the economy of the United States. Wait until the Fed begins to raise rates, and they will. The free money train can't go on forever. You'll see some truely aweful economic conditions that will last for quite awhile. |

Our main employer, Alpha(coal mine) closed down.
On the flip side I am currently hiring unskilled labor and can't fill the positions. Granted they aren't great jobs and the pay is low at $9-$10 but the requirements are to be 18, not be a felon, and show up. I don't even care if you can read, or finished school. |

The company I work for is hiring, has some of the best wages/benefits in the area for unskilled labor, and we still have had a half a dozen tards quit before they got to their probation period.
That being said, I absolutely believe the jobs numbers. The problem is, the vast majority of them are not great jobs with good pay/benefits, but enough for people to be working and not collecting unemployment. I would wager that disposable income is down drastically per capita and will only continue to decline as a % of income. Much in part due to Obamacare among other things. |

I have a 400% turnover rate for about 30% of our factory jobs right now. Yes, they are lower paying jobs and it's mostly grunt work or machine operator work.
People don't want to work and it seems they don't have to. I'm keeping habitual offenders of attendance and mediocre work because I can't get the product out the door without them. Yes I know you get what you pay for , but in eight years of this right now is the worst it's ever been. There are a dozen places that I drive past on the way to work that have had signs out looking for people. People suck. No work ethic at all. Now I'm going to drink. Go Irish!! |

News reported a significant amount of those jobs were school teachers and government jobs. Supposedly it's both the best employment since 2008 and the 5th worst month of 2015. Wages continue to be an issue.

Wireline and rig moves. Last rig move we did 3 weeks ago is going home to Texas instead of the next well.

I could be wrong but in my experience anyone with that type of turnover has a problem....and most of the time it's not the people there to help you.....is it the environment or the pay? Is the help you are needing employees for dangerous? Hourly? How many hours/week? And is the pay level above the "poverty" line if it's what the majority of people would consider full time.....? |

and that's not taking a penny out for any other type of "benefits".... I live in the same area as Canoeguy, and the median income for our county is $31,308. Most all unskilled laborers start at $9.00/hour around here. The coal and gas industries are disappearing, and there are no manufacturig jobs. So about twenty six percent of the 24,954 people that live here are below poverty level. |
