The Long Term Discouraged workers are starting to come back into the Work Force

[Peacetrain]

One of the up sides of the numbers we are seeing.. is that those discouraged workers who have been out of the work force for 6 month, a year and longer are seeing some breathing room and coming back into the market.

Even though we have positive job growth our unemployment numbers have not moved, because those who fell off the charts are moving back into the market.

This is a good thing.

We are going to have to fight the republicans tooth and nail to keep unemployment benefits going till everyone who wants a job, can have access to one.

1. do you have a link that shows that, exactly?

do you have figures for discouraged workers and data that they're seeing "breathing room"? Because if you're talking about temporry census jobs, that's not much breathing room.
I've read here that 48,000 of the new jobs are temp census jobs and 70,000 are other temporary jobs (not as sure of the second number). at any rate, that means about 110K of the new 160K jobs are temp jobs.

Temp jobs are not enough.

they aren't a start, either, they are TEMPORARY.

I"ve been unemployed for over a year, and the ONLY jobs I"m seeing are contract or temporary jobs.

I don't know where your basis for the following assumption comes from: "Even though we have positive job growth our unemployment numbers have not moved, because those who fell off the charts are moving back into the market."

can you elaborate more how you arrive at that conclusion?
