Thanks Barack. Thanks Pelosi.
The US Manufacturing sector lost tens of thousands of manufacturing jobs last month.
Reuters reported:
The number of mass layoffs by U.S. employers rose in April led by manufacturers who shed workers even as the economy began to recover.
The Labor Department said the number of mass layoff events — defined as job cuts involving at least 50 people from a single employer — increased by 228 to 1,856 as employers shed 200,870 jobs on a seasonally adjusted basis.
The number of mass layoffs in the manufacturing sector totaled 448 resulting in 63,616 initial jobless benefit claims, the department said. That was more than 24,000 higher than the previous month, but well below the 125,000 initial jobless claims in the manufacturing sector a year ago.
The Labor Department said the manufacturing sector accounted for 23 percent of all mass layoffs and 28 percent of the initial claims filed in April.
At least 66,000 new government jobs were aved or created by the government last month for census work. They are temporary jobs.
Democrats spent $1.6 billion of stimulus cash creating jobs in China last year. Does that count?
Meanwhile, Texas created 32,500 in April. Texas employers have added 79,000 jobs since the beginning of 2010 and more Texans are employed than ever before with a total of 11.2 million workers, according to the release.
