(15,882 posts)they publish the whole nation will be nothing but renters with a few part-time jobs.
I don't know about these people you listed (frankly, the only time I hear what they say is you and others re-publish their work here. I lost enough brain cells in the 60's and 70's, so I can't really afford to spend any time with them). But I do read every table and every page of every BLS report, and they make these policies look TERRIBLE!!
I mean, look at the totals so far this year...ALL of this is from the BLS! Nothing, NOT A WORD, about how grateful people should be for the scraps they get.
"Full time jobs? Down 240,000. And looking back at the entire year, so far in 2013, just 130K Full-Time Jobs have been added, offset by a whopping 557K Part-Time jobs"
Here.

Oh, sure, some want to blame it on Obamacare, but the BLS has been reporting the loss in full-time jobs for a lot longer than that, so it's clearly NOT just Obamacare. Do they think we are stupid? Do they think we don't know that there there are over 5,000,000 (yeah, million) less full-time jobs than we had in 2007, while the population has grown by 14,000,000 (yeah, million) people, with most of the effort in the economy going to help banks stay weatlhy, because that is GOOD for us? Do they think we can't read?
It would look a LOT better if the BLS would quit publishing their job statistics, I think.
Now I'm gonna go have coffee, 'cause tea sucks.
