8-21-2007 Man rides mule 1500 miles looking for work
GILLETTE, Wyo. - He rode his mule into town looking for work.
No, it wasn't the opening scene of a Western movie. It was what Rod Maday did last week, ending a six-week odyssey from his hometown of Boy River, Minn.
"I've done about 1,500 miles and I've got the saddle sores to prove it," he said.
Maday said he lost his driver's license 10 years ago after he was accused in a hit-and-run, and was having a hard time finding work in Minnesota. He heard that Wyoming had plenty of jobs that paid well.
Maday arrived at the Department of Workforce Services office on Friday morning wearing a torn shirt, dusty blue jeans, spurs and a cowboy hat. Astride his brown and silver mule, Henry, he caused several double-takes.
He didn't stay long. He said some teenagers had yelled "uncalled for" things at him while he was riding into town the night before.
"Gillette's nothing like what I had thought," he said.
He left Saturday morning, riding west toward the Bighorn Mountains.

$600 Million data center announced in Pryor Oklahoma today
Very odd since most people in this are not only don't have access to high speed internets but don't even have a computer.
Every person in my neighborhood I have mentioned this to have never heard of Google and have no idea what Google does.
They have heard it will bring jobs.
Hopefully it brings high speed internets too.

Jobs numbers continue to be around 2001 levels despite increased population.
For some reason these numbers are considered to be acceptable and being posted as lowest numbers sice the great depression.
The numbers continue to not to add up anywhere near the mass layoffs that have been occuring in the never ending outsourcing to Compnaies sending work overseas.
Poll questions:
Do you believe the jobs numbers?
Do you believe people are being left out of the unemployment numbers?
Do you believe wages have gone up?

An additional 9,500 jobs will move to lower-cost locations worldwide.

4-9-2007 Strong Jobs, No Jubilation
Friday's gift from the Labor Department of evidence that the economy still had some life in it has, thus far, been met with grumbling by Wall Street.
Despite a closed market, the Labor Department announced that March non-farm payrolls grew by an unexpected 180,000, crushing the consensus estimate for an increase of 168,000. What's more, the unemployment rate dropped from 4.5% to 4.4%, matching October's level, which was also the lowest level in six years. To add to the surprising robustness of the job market, February's payrolls were revised higher by 16,000 and January's payrolls were revised higher by 16,000.
The doom and gloom from analysts isn't limited to getting the hoped-for interest-rate cut from the Fed. Attention has now been turned to first-quarter earnings that will soon begin to wash over the Street, and expectations are extremely low.
On the heels of a stronger than expected employment report that came with revisions higher in previous months, perhaps the consumer is not in such bad shape as many feared on Wall Street. This sets the stage for positive surprises in consumer spending, which hints at negative earnings revisions potentially being too dramatic, since the consumer is the ultimate engine of economic growth.
