51. Lazy Bums refuted
Some documentation about "lazy welfare bums , on welfaree because they shun jobs"---
Our DOLabor collects "job openings" monthly. today, 3 million, whilst unemp is 9 mill.

See PROJECT JOLT pages, i think it is table 2, lines at the top.

Simply take the # of unemployed {and discouraged, which often doubles that no.} and subtract j. openings.

That gives the

JOB SHORTAGE.

9 minus 3 is 6 million, the job shortage. {incluce discouraged, and the j shortage is 12 million, exactly the no. who are hungry in the US.}

Nice, official numbers, monthly.

Job shortage of 6 million, forces 12 million to go hungry.

So those on welfare, are forced to be there.

Sadly, the liberals are so full of turkeys, even the aflcio doesnt see the need to pu blice this statistic. No liberal site has them, even one that calls for the j. openings stat. ... namely, http://www.njfac.org ...a site with Galbraith and Clinton's DOL sec, Rbt. Reich, as advisors. Is there no limit to our own liberal turkeydom? Have we no savvy stat people? Is this stat being suppressed? IF so, how is it that j openings .. a precessor stat... is still coming out of DOL?
