More Of You Still Have Your Jobs… Huh?

The latest news to come from the ADP (Automatic Data Processing), a payroll processing firm, is that December saw fewer job cuts in store for Americans. Yes, that’s right, only 84,000 of you lost your jobs last month. That’s like almost half of what it was in November (145,000). I mean, it’s practically nothing… huh!? 84,000 people being told, “We’re sorry, but we’re going to have to let you go,” is hardly good news. While the drop is great, and it’s obvious what they’re trying to say, why don’t they read that through the eyes of one of those 84,000. “Oh great. I’m only 1 out of 84,000 to get fired! I’m so relieved that I think my mortgage will pay itself!” Let’s get real. What America needs is hope. America needs to get out there and employ itself. We need to fill every vacancy, every nook and cranny of job opportunity, and pay those inflated mortgages! Are you with me?
