All this unemployment issue is just getting more ugly, look here: ftp://ftp.bls.gov/pub/suppl/empsit.cpseea1.txt since last year (Nov. 2009) - the 'non institutional' population grown by 2 million (from 236,743,000 òî 238,715,000 ) , but 'employed' grown by 500,000 (from 138,381,000 to...

QE is bad, bad for majority, bad even for Ben and Obama. QE - specially when declared for a few month ahead, actually tells to people - 'make more debt now, accumulate more hard assets against new debts, USD money will be cheaper in 6 months, then you will sell only part of what you buy now to...

I was wrong, no need to explain :) . It's probably not a time. Here the updated data: ftp://ftp.bls.gov/pub/suppl/empsit.cpseea1.txt 'employed' number shrunk by 301,000 workres in June 2010, making it less then 2004's average, while population is 14mln bigger, and % of 'employed' population...

The report will be ugly, ugly truth, no make ups this time, 9.9-10% at least. Why? If I'm right, I'll describe myself tomorrow after it.

No, you get me wrong, I'm ok with any salary which is agreed between employee and employer, and of course 50k is very average one and not good enough for expensive areas in US(not joking). I'm talking about overall erosion of the approach to work, which comes to theories about underemployment...

No, man, no! There are a lot of things you can invest the resources, freed by laundry machine and microwave. Literally a lot - and I'm not talking about bigger houses and SUVs. You can invest more resources to researches - starting from climate to earthcore and human body(medicine) - to make...

You know what - I don't have all the details of all payrolls, I use usually this link: ftp://ftp.bls.gov/pub/suppl/empsit.cpseea1.txt just 'analize it' (c) - look at 'employed' number - you see in 2010 it's same number of working people as in 2004, since population grown up more than 14-15...

lazy asses - that's a biggest problem. There is no shortage of employment, there is no over-technology, it's just erosion of desire to work. That's probably nature of human been, it comes and goes. Make a thought experiment - think of model of one man on the planet - exaggerating example -...

Just 2 cents about "430,000 new jobs". I'm not sure where this number was derived from.. Here is a link - gov. data about unemployment - ftp://ftp.bls.gov/pub/suppl/empsit.cpseea1.txt - and May 2010 is a last row at the bottom. So, If you look at that, you find that number of 'employed' got a...

It's probably 'connected world' trend - all devices you didn't think in past could be connected to networks/internet. E-readers and photoframes are an obvious example, but think about fridge/stove/washer/dryer/air conditioner , not mentioning lawn mower and backyard sprinklers :) . All at once...

This Gulf of Mexico disaster does have a point in peak oil theory though, actually proving all this peak oil theory was (and is) just a brain drain to steal more money for gas from public. Why? Very simple - don't you remember 2-3 yrs ago - every rumour somehow related to oil pumps over the...

Ed, thanks for posting :) , as usual. When you're stating that you can't expand the money supply through government action alone - I would disagree - don't forget about 'helicopter Ben' money - a few billions here for extended unemployment, a few billions there for local governments in CA and...

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=arh9nevzJwVA&pos=5 Yeah, let's talk about IPO from LBO of PE :) , what the hell is that and why it's a problem ?? If you didn't know about that till now, let's face it - in addition to all crap we already know about .. I feel like ByLo...

You're extremely right, except of one thing - debt is actually a leverage, more leverage - more panic, eye-balls-leveraged system isn't sustained.. If your home is paid off , your car paid off and your CC balance paid off every month - you're not too 'leveraged' - you're not jumping from a roof...

No reasons to worry, everything is fine, everybody is protected by mighty government , the sun is shiny, extra-money grows on trees around, stocks grow, gold grows , everything grows nowdays, even greek bonds grow, man. And if something fails, the mighty government finds responsible for a...

It's just crazy world... Run to buy homes, there is no risk of foreclosures anymore :( : "The recently unveiled initiatives are not identical, but they have two common themes: Helping the unemployed by subsidizing part or all of their monthly mortgage payments for up to two years and paying...

I'm just a man, so, I have no clue what happens if you (whoever you are) stop supporting Israel, but you can try, then you will know.

You don't get it . The world - whoever you pick - doesn't protect Israel, in best case the world is indifferent. They got protection from much higher level - read The Bible :) . And , BTW, approx 5000years of history backtesting of "..he that curses you shall be reckoned accursed.." (Numbers...

Here is an official doc up to Feb/2010 - ftp://ftp.bls.gov/pub/suppl/empsit.cpseea1.txt Take a look on previous census years - 2000 , 1990, etc. - even you don't have monthly break there, you don't see any spike in employment. So, anybody expecting it now is living in vitual reality :) ...
