Big Red Car — Wed, 02 Feb 2022 15:46:01 +0000

Lousy jobs report coming out on Friday showing the United States lost more than 300,000 jobs in January 2022. Hello, America! Not good. The White House is working overtime trying to come up with some explanation as to why the “fastest economic growth in nearly four decades” misses the mark by more than 500,000 jobs […]

Some Thoughts On Job Creation

Big Red Car — Sun, 31 Oct 2021 18:22:58 +0000

Presidents are always puffing up and beating their chests about all the jobs they’ve created by their general goodness, wisdom, and pluck. Here’s the thing — we don’t need any more jobs in the short term. We have plenty of jobs. We need folks to fill jobs. Let me show you why I think this: […]

In case you have not noticed, there is a short term crisis that has necessitated the closing of many schools, a re-orientation toward distance learning, and a growth of innovation surrounding this changed condition.

Big Red Car here on a rainy day along the Houston coast. They are saying Houston might get TWO FEET of rain. Wow! So, Amazon has been holding a hiring extravaganza. They held a multi-city job fair on 17 September 2019 in Arlington, Boston, Nashville, Dallas, Chicago, and Seattle. This is where the job fair […]

Jobs Vigor

Big Red Car — Fri, 15 Feb 2019 21:24:23 +0000

I continue to be awed by the power of the jobs machine that is America today. Look at this graph: Note the following: 1. The number of job openings has skyrocketed since Donald J Trump was inaugurated. Look at it! When President Obama handed the keys to President Trump, the number of job openings was […]

Jobs

Big Red Car — Fri, 04 Jan 2019 19:00:48 +0000

Big Red Car here on a Jobs Report Friday. Hey, have a great weekend. So, I was a little concerned about the December jobs report — because of the dipping stock market, the election results, the Fed’s moves, the general tenor in the air. No reason to be alarmed, apparently. Jobs report, Big Red Car? […]

Jobs USA

Big Red Car — Wed, 12 Sep 2018 14:00:17 +0000

Big Red Car here with a prayer on my lips for the Carolinas and the impending Florence hurricane. Evacuate if y’all are along that coast. Do not risk your life to ride it out. So, one of the most interesting elements of the current economy is the status of jobs and job openings. Unfortunately, we […]

Employment Structural Change

Big Red Car — Sat, 04 Aug 2018 12:28:11 +0000

Big Red Car here on a Saturday morning getting ready to go out for blueberry pancakes at the Counter Cafe. I have always been interested in delving beneath the covers of employment in the United States.
