Really, when is the last time that anyone in the administration or congress (other than Bernie Sanders) has talked seriously about the jobs situation.

The percentage of the workforce actually working is scandalous, and there is no data on how many people working have taken substantial pay and benefit cuts since 2008.

The media totally ignores the problem, too. MSNBC seems to ignore the issue, and with Current sale, there seems to be nothing on the horizon that might take up the cause.

Even here on DU, many seem to be outright hostile to jobs threads in GD.

It seems that nothing, nothing will ever really be done.
