White House is braceing unemployed for slow job rebound

[centsgirl]

Buoyed by good news on the jobs front, the White House took credit on Sunday for reversing the downward economic spiral while bracing the out of-work Americans for a slow recovery.

Given the depth and length of the recession, the White House wants to cool off the expectations of a fast economic recovery before the November elections that will determine whether Democrats keep control of the House and Senate.

he administration's line is that there is a steady, but slow progress on repairing the economic ruin that President Barack Obama blames his predecessor, Republican George W. Bush.

Statement of Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank on the March Job Report

Washington, DC—House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank (D-MA) today made the following statement about the March employment figures released today:

“The largest growth in private employment in three years is welcome evidence that our recovery from the deep Bush recession which President Obama inherited has finally begun to provide some benefits to American workers and families. This heightens the sharp contrast in the performance of the economy, including the area of employment, between the period when the Bush economic policies were controlling and the months since the Democratic recovery plan has been implemented. But this beginning of good news does not mean that we should cut back on our job creation efforts. More needs to be done by the Federal Government to help job creation--especially for the more than six million Americans who have been unemployed for more than six months, and these early signs of success are arguments in favor of further action.”

I think that the Democrats are trying to cover up what is really going on with the job situation.I have not seen any evidence that shows that unemployment is going down be it fast or slow.Every person that I have talked to in the past six months on this issue feel the same way.

There are to many people that are still hurting financially bad and life for them has completely changed.

I myself have been without a job for more than six months and have been looking in two different states.I have never found it hard to find work,I have lived in the one state my whole life and people know me and my family and know that we are good workers,they want to hire me but they have no job available right now.

People are still laying off,except for seasonal trade work,which a five foot woman that weighs about one hundred and six pounds doesn't qualify for,so what do you do.
