but the jobs that are being added are minimum wage service industry jobs. You can't send cleaning your toilet to India to outsource.

And something interesting I've noticed: "The number of long-term unemployed (those jobless for 27 weeks or more) was little changed at 4.8 million in November. These individuals accounted for 40.1 percent of
the unemployed. (See table A-12.)

40 percent of the unemployed are long term unemployed. Interesting. So, people who did not get a job right away after losing their jobs to the RepubliCON Great Depression, pretty well have NO chance of ever getting a job again. I wonder if these people were the vast majority of Mitt's 47%?
