We've become a naion of burger-flippers, cab drivers, Ebay sellers, etc. No meaningful jobs exist for new college graduates. Obama has been a worse failure than Jimmy Carter and Lyndon Johnson COMBINED!

I have two grandsons, both with college degrees, both with 3.5+ averages. One a biologist who now worksd two partime jobs - Starbucks & selling insurace. The other with a business degreem - returned from overseaas job and now lives in Vegas - developing computer gaming programs for a casino. Both are married with families and had good jobs until about 2 years ago. The 7.8% unemployment figure is a politcally charged figure. Unfortunately, the uniformed and disinterested voter will be SUCKED IN and believe that we are on the path to a vibrant economy.

These kids wasted their money on unemployable degrees.

"Unbelievable Numbers" Says Former GE CEO Jack Welch

Political charges flew on Friday following the unexpected drop in unemployment rate by three-tenths of a percent.

Former GE CEO Jack Welch led the way with a Tweet "Unbelievable jobs numbers..these Chicago guys will do anything..can't debate so change numbers".
