Midknight Review -- new and revised: A look at the jobs numbers versus the unemployment numbers and what do we have? A parallel universe and "parallel" is not good.

Editor's notes: the chart, below, shows the disconnect between available jobs (the green line) and the available work force (either orange or red lines but especially the red dotted line - the red line includes the orange representation plus those who are "underemployed" and is the more accurate number, for that reason).

The chart does not offer much encouragement for the observer. Total and real unemployment (charted with the red line) has more than doubled since May of '08. While there appears to be a down turn in the unemployment numbers, there seems to be a slight and corresponding down turn in the count of available jobs.

Point of this post: simply to present a visual demonstrating the seriousness of the jobs crisis. The consistent linear progressions of all three "lines" forecast a continued "jobless recovery" and puts off any serious recovery Main Street recovery for months, if not years, into the future.

As long as we have an Administration that believes unemployment benefits are the open door to jobs creation (Click on the PERMALINK for Pelosi theory on unemployment benefits and jobs creation), the recovery remains in serious trouble.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
