Jeez

These numbers tell a perfectly sad story.

US employers added 430,000 jobs to nonfarm payrolls in May, but 411,000 of those were temporary census workers.


The thing about these government jobs...they're paid by taxpayers, ie the productive members of society. Government spending is a stop-gap measure that can help alleviate the corrosive social effects of unemployment for a short period of time. It is not a long term solution to a healthy economy.

How sad is it that our job growth is to pay people to basically harass us to fill out some forms?
