Why It Still Feels Like Recession To 95% Of America

[SmittynMo]

11. It IS a recession, still

My troubles started in 2007, being laid off due to a reorg. They continued, settling for a job at a pay scale much less than I was making. I eventually move on to a contract position at a much higher rate of pay, but nothing firm. No benefits, no full time work. Contracts can last 1-18 months. Then you're screwed, looking again. It may take months to find something. Well, this vicious cycle has not stopped. The full time jobs are pretty much gone, only leaving contract positions. The rate of pay has also gone down. So do I feel we're in a recession? You damn right I do. And I don't see anything being done to fix all the wrong the Bush administration has done to this country.

To make matters worse, I was told of all the new jobs created in the past 3 years, 85% of them are part time. You don't believe me? Do a search on indeed for part time jobs. So don't believe this crap that we're creating new jobs and the economy is getting better. It really isn't.
