Google "U.S. Recessions" and you will see that recessions have become much more frequent with the U.S. going into recession every few years! So many adult children had to move back home to live with their parents. Jobs offshoring to poverty wage countries will continue, so Americans need to adjust to the new economic reality, and have smaller families. The government should not encouraging large families by giving an unlimited number of tax breaks (tax exemptions) for dependents. The cost of raising a child from birth to age 18 for a middle-income, two-parent family averaged $226,920 last year (not including college), according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. That's up nearly 40% -- or more than $60,000 -- from 10 years ago. Just one year of spending on a child can cost up to $13,830 in 2010, compared to $9,860 a decade ago.

Walker's job creation numbers are inflated just like his ego. Look at the job center web site. Every day it says hundreds of new jobs posted. They just change the date posted even though the job has been on there for a week or two. That doesn't make it a newly created job. It appears that they use some creative job numbers on that site. Those lies probably pale in comparison to the lies Walker use in the accounting methods for the State budget. Goodbye Scotty!!!

RECALL WALKER

Great link FOTH.
Yet according to the fed, "inflation is not a risk"...Right, I'm sure no one has seen any basic price increases in their own personal life the last couple years, haha.
The chart on housing is also rather telling. Keep in mind that the God awful housing market is actually FAR WORSE then it also appears, as the governmnet has stepped into that market in a big time way as well. Buying up bad mortgages, giving new home buyer tax credits, and most importantly (something that stopped the market from complete crash)...Getting rid of the mark to market accounting rule. The market reached it's LOW in 2008 the day mark to market was ended. Now banks don't need to show how broke they truly are from bad home loans!

Right on, kiowamohican. If our government published a realistic number for GDP, without fudging the calculation, everyone would see that we've had ongoing recession since mid-2000. (Except for a few months during 2004.)

Select "Alternate Data" then "GDP" here: http://www.shadowstats.com/ Ask yourself which of those two traces more accurately reflects your own personal experiences during the past 10 years, the government's official GDP (red) or the more realistic SGS GDP (blue)?

"“There are more (jobs) around than last year at this time, but they’re sure not back to where they were pre-recession,” he said."
.
I always get a laugh out of these who actually believe we came out of the recession. By the technical (GDP numbers) we did, but of course those numbers, and the whole "recovery" was just one giant mirage created by governmnet stimulus and QE. Now that the stimulus, and QE, that propped up the whole house of cards, is wearing off, where are we?...Heading right back to where we were...In recession....No worries though folks, feds will soon come to the rescue with QE3, and governmnet will pump more stimulus in the system..No problem that we can't print our way out of, and keep the giant mirage of a recovery going strong!

frogger did you see my post that YES HE DOES WORK THERE he has worked there for over 20yrs. Do you enjoy attacking everyone and not believing anything anybody says on here. You really need to get a life, all I see is you posting here everyday and night.

Did you wear a tshirt to the fair? Just curious.
Just because the husband did or didn't like working there - it shouldn't matter. People are all different. The answer may deter somebody from applying when they would like working there.
I answered your question.

These two other jobs also pay more than Prent, not that they are that bad for full time.

Thanks carlp! : )
I actually have two applications in at other places right now, and am working on a third right now from a comapny I know is about to post soon.

Danno asked a simple question. Does kidlets husband like working at Prent? Seven words and suddenly you know all about him.

To quote you: "MAybe Dano think they should come to his couch to hire him. Cheese and rice people no wonder we are in the shape we are . YOU REFUSE TO EVEN TRY. If they came to the couch what else would be your excuse? Then you can wear your jammy pants."

Seriously, did he deserve that? Heck, he might have been asking for someone else. I don't even see in his posts where he stated that he DIDN'T have a job. You must have a special power to be able to determine so much from so little.

I'll restate my original question: does it make you feel somehow better about yourself to treat people like crap with that condescending little attitude of yours?

I am tired of hearing there are no jobs and then hearing excuses why people "cannot get a job" when clearly there ar ejobs out there.

frogger...does it make you feel somehow better about yourself to treat people like crap with that condescending little attitude of yours? Just asking!

wow Dana now you have to like the job- how about getting one first and then decide. Sometimes we all don't like our jobs but we still go to work everyday! Any more excuses from you?

MAybe Dano think they should come to his couch to hire him. Cheese and rice people no wonder we are in the shape we are . YOU REFUSE TO EVEN TRY. If they came to the couch what else would be your excuse? Then you can wear your jammy pants.

danno- if you aren't working you might as well be there part time while you find a full time Dont worry you'll still get partial UC.

"Janesville job picture might be improving"
really based on the photos I doubt it!!!

sorry likes

He like it and we have a good life because of Prent.

How does he like working at Prent?

Yeah my husband

Is there anyone on here that works at Prent?

Sorry Danno, Prent has 10 full time positions posted, some hourly and some salary in addition to the mini-shift (part-time). Try again

Danno, I went on Prent's website and everyjob they have posted is a FULL TIME job.

I mentioned someplace so what if it is a temp job. It is a job for now- take it! It could turn into full time permanant work.

This is not great at all! Prent is offering for the majority of the people a part time mini shift, where you only expect to take home just over a $100.00 each week after deductions have been taken for taxes, etc. We need some real jobs in Janesville!!!!

The guy with baggy pants and hat on stupid as mentioned here or Know Blog- sorry dude try again. You aren't working for me until you get a belt!!! You need two hands for work not one hand and one holds your pants up. GET A CLUE AND then YOU'LL get a job. It seems it isn't working for you if you are at the fair in the same ol grubs DUH!!!!!!

BYW- get a haricut too while you are at it!

". But on the other hand most of these jobs offered are not very good paying jobs"

SO WHAT! Do you want one of them or what. So what if it is the same money vs UC. Get A job and then you can get a different job. I read people are more likely to hire you if you have a job and want a different one vs being unemployed for over 6 months. They feel you are not trying to get a job and why hire some lazy butt. If you want a leg up on the other guy in the tshirt would it hurt to try the khakis and a nice shirt. WOW you people amaze me. Would it be painful to do this or something???? If 10 bums in line applied and somebody actually took the effort to wear something apprioate I would certainly look at this person first. The guy/gal who ACTUALLY tried to look nice for a VERY IMPORTANT day!

I agree that dress is important, yes. But on the other hand most of these jobs offered are not very good paying jobs. I would bet 90% of the jobs at the job fair are less than $10/hr. I have seen ads for many that are around $8. What type of employee do you get for these wages? Its the old adage you get what you pay for. There are some that pay better, but these are generally short time period(Morgan, for example hires many to do a contract run that las 3 to 6 months). The story is slanted to make an otherwise bleak job outlook appear rosy.

If you're going to speak to the person who hires you, that's one thing, but if you're just picking up an application that's another"
I TOTALALLY DISAGREE- 1ST IMPRESSION IS EVERYTHING.

Don't see any of that in the pics!

If you're going to speak to the person who hires you, that's one thing, but if you're just picking up an application that's another. Obviously "proper" attire (rule of thumb: at least one step nicer than what you'll have to wear on the job) can only help you, but I'm not sure that there's any reason to criticize people who are, in a sense, just browsing. Don't treat these people as representing every desperate out-of-work laborer.
.
This is an employer's market, with more job-seekers than jobs, and that means employers get to demand experience and specialized skillsets where they might not in an economy closer to full employment. Yes, if HR has to process 150 resumes for one job, they're going to use every possible reason to stick yours in the circular file, including spelling.

And make sure your spell check is on when doing your resume.

3 more packs of smokes or an outfit so you can get a job???

emac- I see- interesting. Lets TRY to get a job huh??? Is this why you are not getting hired DUH. I don't care the dress WHEN you are at work what ever it may be but you are applying for a job. Don't even say you don't have the money. You can go to good will and get an out fit for under $20 with shoes!!! Is $20 to must to invest for a JOB?????

As you can see some of those jobs appear to starting as fast food worker. What I thought was the most interesting was that I am aware that some of those places were not accepting applications recently.

I was there and more than half of the people were wearing blue jeans, untucked t-shirts and sneakers. Just look at the pictures they posted, hardly proper attire.
