Hooray, the October job figures have been released. Unemployment remains steady at 4.7%, unless you’re part of the growing legion of Americans who have opted out of the rat-race after your unemployment benefits expire.
But that’s another story.
The good news is that the economy did create some jobs. You’ll do fine if you are looking for a retail job, a job in travel & leisure (even though you can’t afford a vacation), or in the poorly managed government.
The bad news? Is there any bad news when the government is handing out corporate tax incentives for companies to create these awesome, uninsured, unskilled, $7.25/hr jobs?

My skill set involves sewing together very cheap clothing and helping people fix their microsoft errors over the phone. Think I have a chance of finding a job around this place?
NO WAY.
Go back to where you came from. I know you’re an illegal immigrant.
