Show Me The Jobs?

After the economic crises of the early 2000s, job creation has failed to meet the expectations of recovery experts. Needing to create an average of 250,000 new jobs a month, US business has failed to deliver. The vast majority of new jobs that have been created are low paying and without benefits. Thousands of labor supporters marched over the weekend holiday in Detroit and LA to protest conditions asking for reasonable hours, decent pay, and fair contracts with benefits. The US Department of Labor released their "America's Dynamic Workforce" report over the holiday as well (good news if you have always dreamed of being a truck driver). If money talks, this is going to be a noisy election.
