We Are to Ignore February Jobless Numbers Because of Snow

This may sound overly simplistic, but with so much snow to move and so many people out of work, why not redeploy them, for snow-removal operations.

If I can't do one thing, I don't just sit and stare, I apply myself to something else, which needs to be done. There are opportunities to be flexable and even learn new skills and meet new people!

Personally, I'd love to give it a try!

The pipes appear to be clogged, again. Please fix the input mechanism of this blog. Thank you!

PS It may just be that the system is slow (overloaded).

Here in Myrtle Beach, SC, they just canceled the 16th annual job fair, because they couldn't find any employers with job openings. Sadly, Nero Obama is still fiddling with his health care fiasco while America is burning. It has become a personal obsession with him, when the economy should be his first concern.

It's the snow, no, it's the wind, no, it's the earthquakes, no, it's the hurricanes, no it's global cooling, no, it's global warming, no, it's climate change, no WAIT, it's Dubya that's causing our weak economy. Right, that's it... Or, could it be overmatched, empty suit, narcissist Obamanomics?

Do you think Obama and company will accept responsibility for anything bad that happens?Lame street media will back up this BS!

I just read my companies business plan and here it is #3-- when it snows a lot, lay off 30% of the workforce. I wouldn't have believed it unless I read it. I guess that must be in all companies mission statements..LOL

No, global warming caused it.

Global warming also caused the Chilean earthquake. It is also the reason Obama-care won't pass.

Finally a writer that is beginning to see past the "snow storm" of lies from this administration.

Lay offs in the Northeast may , may be because of snow now but what about the rest of the country? How do they explain that?

Maybe it is because Obozo and his class of clowns are failing or should I say Failed!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Perhaps the illegal aliens could not ride their bikes to the jobs and the visa workers found the buses weren't running?

I think it is a lot of everything causing the Depression which is increasing the unemployment.

It's Bush, no it's Obama, no it's climate, no it's illegal aliens, no it's my neighbor who bought stuff he couldn't afford while charging up his credit card, NO WAIT - IT'S ME !

First we change ourselves, then oddly, society will change and get better. It starts with us, no one else. NOT "the other guy", but ME ! When I change, the world starts to change. Don't even need a Washington politician to pass any laws to help - can do it myself. (note to self: Need to start TODAY, not tomorrow).

Did the snow truly hurt jobless stats?

It depends. If you are looking to cook the numbers to keep hussien obama afloat to continue to pretend that he is not totally inept and unqualified for his job...then ...yeah.

Other wise. No.

We do not live in a void. Snow creates jobs. no snow creates jobs. earthquakes destroy factories...that have to be re-built. Tornados & hurricanes destroy homes/busi. ...then someone has to come in to clear away the rubble...
NO. but insane policy will destroy jobs. sham govt. jobs & "programs" to help the poor....barney franks of fannie & freddie fame...like spending 12 million dollars on islamic terroists sending them to south sea island paradise...

buying them lap tops and you KNOW obamas support for them hasnt stopped. If they cant find a job...what will he do? thats right. mo money. to the same clowns that killed u.s. soldiers...blew thier arms & legs off with thier rpg's.

No. The snow had nothing to do with it. It's a non-story. Just another drop in the ocean of propaganda that passes for news these days. political drivel. No politician on EITHER side can see beyond thier ted kennedy condos in the bahamas. they do not care if America falls. They have enough of our money to support them in the country of thier choice.
so...let it snow let it snow let it snow

Is the writer Mark Fightmaster? I like his style. Let's hear more from this guy.

I am a roofer in Ky. I was off work for 3 weeks due to snow cover. I drew unemployment for these 3 weeks. My claim was filed as layoff with definite recall. I'm sure I was counted as unemployed. I am pretty sure They do a seasonal adjustment to unemployment figures to account for this?????? Color me skeptical.

could you imagine what the dumocrats would say if bush blamed the weather on something? they would have a field day.
