Re: The Most Fresh & Cordial Political Thread Ever
What I am glad to see (just me personally). Jobs that had been taken by adults that were meant as part time for kids are being filled by kids again. Part time jobs and after school jobs like fast food places or certain jobs in the grocery store's, movie theaters ,it's just nice to see young kids /people out there working. Grandson just had his first match on his High school golf team in NC and the manager of the C.C course asked him and a few of his team mates if they want to caddy,I told him to jump on it.

Re: The Most Fresh & Cordial Political Thread Ever
Probably some legit reasons why people aren't going back to work, but I know it's more fun to just assume they are lazy bastards.
It's going to take some time. Covid is just loosening it's grip, and a lot of people took advantage of early retirement. |

The peak was 67.3% in 2000. I assumed this number would be higher. We're at 62.3% as of the February report. Doesn't sound like much difference, but with how many people we have, that's quite a jump we still need to make. This is not about Biden, as it has not got back to that rate under anyone since 2000. But that would certainly be the goal imo. https://www.thebalance.com/labor-for...m%20its%20peak.

https://eig.org/news/new-start-ups-b...at%20Recession. New Startups Break Record in 2021: Unpacking the Numbers Jan 19, 2022 By Daniel Newman and Kenan Fikri Key Findings: Nearly 5.4 million applications were filed to form new businesses in 2021 — the most of any year on record, based on the latest data from Census Bureau’s Business Formation Statistics. The exceptional pace means there were roughly 1.9 million more business applications in 2021 — a 53 percent increase from 2019 and a notable improvement on that especially strong year for economic performance. Nearly one-third, or 1.8 million applications, were for likely employer businesses — a subset of total applications capturing those most likely to hire employees if and when a business becomes operational. Likely employer business applications are up 37 percent over 2019 levels and up 17 percent relative to 2006, the prior peak. Seven of the top 10 highest monthly totals for likely employer filings came last year. Applications for businesses likely to hire employees rose in every state in 2021, but faster in some parts of the country than others, especially in the Southeast.

Re: The Most Fresh & Cordial Political Thread Ever
Strange thing is one of the few stats not talked about is retirees going back to work(I am one) and the value in the older and experienced worker. Spent 37 years working in Warehousing retired ,four years later I'm back at work for the State of Maryland at an Office job in one of their warehouse's.

Re: The Most Fresh & Cordial Political Thread Ever
Historically, the United States economy has performed better on average under the administration of Democratic presidents than Republican presidents since World War II. The reasons for this are debated, and the observation applies to economic variables including job creation, GDP growth, and stock market returns. The unemployment rate has fallen on average under Democratic presidents, while it has risen on average under Republican presidents. Budget deficits relative to the size of the economy were lower on average for Democratic presidents.[1][2] Ten of the 11 U.S. recessions between 1953 and 2020 began under Republican presidents.[3]
But please go on about how Republicans keep the economy churning. |

Pressure grows on Biden to ban U.S. imports of Russian oil A bipartisan group of U.S. senators introduced a bill on Thursday to ban U.S. imports of Russian oil, saying the shipments could be replaced by boosting output in North America and other places. Time to get a vote on record on who actually supports Russia
