[TowerTalk] AES SK

[Wes Attaway (N5WA)]

Of course, this is way off the edge of Tower Talk topics (but maybe it does
have something to do with AES), however, whatever your belief is about
unemployment statistics is, the real proof that things are bad and getting
worse is totally explained by the bond market (incessantly lower interest
rates) and the frantic actions of the major central banks.

The underlying statistics show that the bulk of any new jobs in the USA
right now are in the so-called waiter and bartender category (minimum wage
or just a little above).   People with some money might be able to start a
business but they are not the predominant factor at this point.  This is
very different from where we were 30 or 40 years ago.

I am 77 and still working.  Not that I have to but because I like what I do
and am lucky enough to have some marketable skills.  And, it keeps my brain
cells active.

Bottom Line:  The job market is horrible because the overall economy is
changing in all kinds of ways that are not good.  Many people are simply
running out of real money.

>"Out of the *93.8 million* Americans age 16 and up who are deemed "not in
the labor force," 9.7 million of them are between 16 and 19 years of age.
Another 5.7 million are between 20 and 24. And 37.8 million are age 65 and
over. (In fact, 17.5 million are over 75 years old.)"

Assuming the above U.S. data are accurate, that means roughly 53 million
people out of 93.8 million are of traditional active employment age and not
working at will, lack of employable skills, some form of disability,
completing a degree or trade school (20-24) and a large portion of those
also included in the 53 million figure are in the 55-65 age group where
there's is a significant population of CSRS, FERS, military, state, and
municipal workers who are recipients of a government entitlement system.    

We can break up any data and mold it to fit most any agenda.
