Black Brother, do not look for a high paying job drawing a big roll of money, after the war — US job seekers face worst odds

 

Greetings,

Will you continue to delude yourselves into believing that America still has a future? Will you continue to believe that America will one day rebound from her troubles and be able to provide you with gainful employment? If you are that foolish you will be the loser.

America will not rebound. America cannot rebound. Divine prophecy and the hand of God is against her. I warn you that…”The present promise of a better future that America is making to the so-called Negroes will prove to be false. All of her false promises to the American so-called Negroes, will be short-lived by both — because the time of her doom has approached.”–pg.201(tfoa)

Remember this…”Black Brother, do not look for a high paying job drawing a big roll of money, after the war, unless with the help of Allah (God), you  prepare this for yourself, which I advise you to do.

 The most dreadful divine judgments that have ever been witnessed by man are now coming on America. America is the divine target because she could have bettered herself in the divine eyes of Allah (God), Who came in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad, to Whom praises are due forever.”–pg.232(tfoa)

                       US job seekers face worst odds

Those  looking for work face some of the worst odds in the past 13 years, according to  Bureau of Labor Statistics numbers released Tuesday.

 

The bureau’s  monthly survey tracking job openings and labor turnover was a little less robust  than the agency’s better-known unemployment report that was released on Friday.  According to the new report, there are more than three unemployed people  competing for every job opening in the country, and people are  quitting their jobs far less than they should be.

 

The survey  showed that there were 3.8 million job openings in the U.S. in May. That’s up  from about 2.3 million at the worst of the recession, but still well below the  peak of 4.7 million openings before the slowdown. In the jobs report on Friday,  the BLS said there were 11.8 million people still looking for  work.

 

When both  reports are considered together, that means there are 3.1 unemployed people  competing for every one job.

 

The other  troubling thing Friday’s report didn’t show is that there is not a lot of  “churn” in the labor market right now. The new JOLTS data reveal that the total  number of people getting hired each month and the total of people leaving jobs  each month are both lower than before the recession by about 1 million  workers.

 

People just  aren’t finding new jobs and leaving old ones like they did before the recession  — making the challenge for those three people per job even more difficult.

 

Just 2.2 million  people, or 1.6 percent of workers, quit their jobs in May, which has been  roughly the quit rate for most of the past two years. Before the recession, that  quit rate was consistently higher — about 2.2 percent of all workers, or about  3 million people.

 

“The reason there is less  churn today is that jobs are so scarce that employed workers are much less  likely to quit the job they have,” Heidi Shierholz, an economist at the Economic  Policy Institute, wrote in a note about the report. Because leaving a job for a better opportunity can be an important way for workers to advance,  this depressed rate of voluntary quits represents millions of lost  opportunities.

 

There are always  more job openings than there are workers to fill them. But the disconnect has  never been this wide in the 13 years that the BLS has kept track of the numbers.  Shierholz points out that, even after four years of recovery, the ratio of  unemployed workers to job openings is still higher than it was at the worst of  the 2001 recession.

 

Quitting one job  for another is one way workers can get a big increase in pay. A low quit rate  might help explain why wages have been relatively stagnant in the recovery so  far. A new study by the National Employment Law Project finds that the median  hourly wage for workers fell by 2.8 percent between 2009 and 2012. Naturally,  the worst of this wage decline has been felt by the lowest-paid workers, the  NELP notes.

 

Not  coincidentally, most of the industries with the highest numbers of job openings  in May, according to the JOLTS data, were lower-paying sectors, including  health-care services, retail sales and restaurants. The Huffington Post
