The labor market does not seem to have stalled in the third quarter, it kept improving at the pace it began in the spring. 2. Average improvement in the job ...6 days ago -

Obama and everyone else on Capital Hill can dance around the issue all they want. However, the fact of the matter is that the only way we’ll get jobs is to take them back from places like Mexico, China, and India. We can start making some real changes now, or continue to drag our feet while the social and economic ...1 week ago -
