“The economy’s cadre of temporary, seasonal, and part-time workers continues to swell. Incredibly, the economy had only 417,000 more full-time workers in November than it did at the end of the recession. The comparable Reagan-era period saw 6.9 million full-timers added.”
Keep those facts and comparisons coming, Tom, as painful as it is to read them.
I’ve been watching the temp trend throughout the “recovery” and the disproportionate increase is a strong negative indicator. As we all know, temp-seasonal workers are the first to be jettisoned at the slightest sign of a downturn. As you note, it’s a clearcut indication employers do not trust this sluggish economy, and that distrust is exponentially magnified by punative Obamanomics and the threat of ObamaCare.
