When the data say job growth... it means jobs that were taken by Americans. Also, one has to start somewhere until one gets the job one desires. No one will take care of you if you are not working... that is, unless you are in a Democrat nanny state... and only a person of colour. Your idea of a "shit" job may to someone else... be an ideal job! A plumber can easily make over 100,000 part time.... working just a few hours per day. That being said... the jobs created were in great sectors... healthcare, social assistance, & construction... so NOT shit jobs! The shit areas where jobs were lost were: government employment (YAY!) & Finance (YAY YAY YAY). Many banks are in deep dodo with the rise in gold & silver prices... because some betted against the metals... while others took in gold from investors, lent it out, and now that gold is 5 plus times up... they do not have the cash to buy back that gold!
