College and High School Graduations, creating a huge new wave of job-seekers, bumping people out of the temp market, and into unemployment. In other words, if you look back, every year, around the end of June, unemployment claims rise. The economy is recovering on a fine pace, especially with a hold on government jobs state and federal, and little governmental incentives or programs for job creation. Hell, even former opponents of federal stimulus are starting to wonder if the best way out is for the government to create jobs. I've heard 3 or 4 of them, in the past month, admit as much.
Allow me to quote from the link that I posted above and you obviously didn't read....
"
The claims number has been stuck in a tight band of 330-375k for several months. With only weak economic growth, there is little appetite among employers to step-up hiring. Without sustained growth in jobs, however, the economy isn't able to grow much faster.
Stagnant is the new normal. "
Anything else? I can help ya with?

Really not to surprising, Dawg.
When ya have a part-time president?
Part-time jobs are sure to follow.
BTW, Walmart/Sam's considers their employees to be "full time" working 36 hours a week.
Why?
So as to avoid the Federal interpretation of a 40 hour week as full time.....to avoid financial responsibility.
Good call Dawg.

why are you 'blaming' anyone? It's not like anyone(read: Congress) has approved any Federally funded jobs. There are a lot of higher paying jobs going begging, also(I can testify to that.....I get around 10 recruiters a week for my profession, just in the MidAtlantic region, and they ain't minimum wage, nor part time). All in all, any economist will tell you that we've had pretty much the expected trajectory recovering from the type of recession(financial bubble) we had. So what?
Part of what you observe, above, is the nature of the economy we've been creating for 30 years or so, Have and Have-Not. I've been trying to tell you all that for over a decade here, and now that it comes closer you want to blame someone other that yourself(and fellow voters)? Sheesh!
