The Crash of 2015: Now Arriving at Gates 3,7,12,19…..

14. not sure that works though

They say 106,000 jobs were cut in July (and then throw in some fairly meaningless statistics (like a bump from month to month or year to year means - a TREND!!) (it could be, but need more background than just two stats))

Anyway, what did the report say something like +200,000 jobs. And then 300,000 people left the labor force? Well, what happened to their jobs after they left? Instead of a smaller labor force, there should still be 300,000 jobs.

Everything is kind of on a delay though, so that may make the difference. For example, my department head retired perhaps six weeks ago, and her job still has not been filled. May not be filled for another month or two, and if it is filled by the #2 guy (which seems to be the prediction that it will be) then it will still be even more months before HIS old job is filled.

Unfortunately though, there is also the example of M. When she retired after about twenty years, they filled her full time position with temps.

I suppose then by the time those jobs are filled, even more people are retiring. Theoretically that should make it a good time for job seekers.
