Or, one might say, this is the latest in the voodoo talking down of the economy. Look at this headline from the Palm Beach Post:With few jobless, employers labor to fill positions
Dear sweet mother, this economy sucks so bad, these times are so awful, the poor employers are having to find more people to work for them...oh, the humanity! This should be GOOD NEWS!
But wait, the Drive by media gets better:
Marc Mirabella can't wait to fill the empty cubicles in the Jupiter office of his technology-recruiting firm, but an ever-shrinking jobless rate isn't helping his cause.
There's plenty of business out there for his company, Oxford International, he said, but not enough workers.
"We need people — bad," said Mirabella, who runs the 50-person Florida office of Massachusetts-based Oxford.
Like many employers in Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast, Mirabella struggles to fill empty desks as jobless figures keep setting records.
The unemployment rates in Palm Beach and Martin counties fell to 30-year lows in April, state officials said Friday.
In Palm Beach County, unemployment sank to 2.8 percent from 3 percent in March, according to the Florida Agency for Workforce Innovation. That's the lowest since 1976, when state officials last overhauled the way they track the job market.
In Martin County, the jobless rate was 2.6 percent, down from 2.9 percent in March. And in St. Lucie County, the jobless rate remained 3.1 percent, tied for a record low.
For years, the region has been a perennial job growth juggernaut as the housing market fueled a boom in construction and construction-related jobs. But now, that demand seems to be feeding on itself — even as the housing market cools.
Employers of every ilk — from hotels to call centers to high-paying engineering firms — who had become used to having their pick of a growing labor force are forced to look at alternatives, including expanding to where the workers are — outside a state where the jobless rate fell to 3.0 percent in April, well below the national rate of 4.7 percent.
Recruiting methods expand
Workers, on the other hand, appear to be in the catbird seat.
This is reported as some great tragedy. This is reported as the end of companies and business. But wait, I thought that is what the Lefty big media wanted? I thought they were supposed to be the friend of the workers, and this is good news for workers and those seeking jobs, right? But wait, in order to hail it as good news, they would have to give credit. And who gets the credit...hmmm......wait for it:
And Lord only knows, they refuse to give him credit for anything...well, they do blame him for:
cancer, abortions, rainy days, thunderstorms, bad puppies, disobedient pets, climate change, and a host of other bad things,
but God forbid they do any real research and see how his tax cuts have stimulated this economy.
